Darth More starts a Rebel Cargo Carrier...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, December 28 2022

"Rebel Cargo Carrier*

* I decided to call this vehicle Rebel Cargo Carrier instead of Rebel Troop Cart because it's much bigger and has no seats.

Ever since I got this model by Wizards of the Coast, I wanted to build it in 1/18 scale. The Rebels deserve some ground vehicles, too, don't you think? The model for the Miniatures game is in 1/54 scale and it's technically made by Hasbro. But I doubt that Hasbro will ever give this vehicle to us for The Vintage Collection. So I decided to make my own over the Christmas days."

Man he is off to a great start!



Darth More shares a comparison on Tunghori...
-- Posted by Tamer on Wednesday, December 28 2022

"Two INCREDIBLE prices for ARC Trooper Jesse - one way another. And TungHori's price policy in a nutshell."

Yepper, it ain't like the good ole days.

"Well, I found an extra Bossk in my fodder box so I went ahead and put together a comic inspired version of him too!

Here are some closeups of the mando shelf with the new additions:

I also decided to go and make an instagram account to tie to my already existing FB account, go give it a follow if you'd like to see more images of my collection, new and old customs as I start adding content to it. It'll be sporadically updated, as I jump around hobbies all the time."

It is great to see him back!

Stan - It was a privilege to play a small part in a few of your outstanding customs. Thanks again for your generosity in sharing these sculpts. See you around.
