Monthly Customizing Challenge - Month 13: Vehicles

[Darth_Ennis]

Thanks Tykrazen youre a lifesaver.

[CommanderKorbra]

Yay time to start. I've got the thing primed and im still deciding wether it should be a clone vehicle or a mando vehicle.

[BrentS]

Here are several WIPs of my Custom Vehicle.  Ty-Ri's Jedi Starfighter:



The base vehicle is a CORP jet plane.  I turned the tail wings upside down and attached them to the frame with greenstuff.





For Phase II I added an R5 head that I had lying around from some custom fodder I got from AdamS.  I added the back foil using a piece of styrene that was cut from a "No Tresspassing" Sign (thanks again for the tip Jesse).

You can't see it in these WIPs but I also updated the cockpit interior with a new decal from Erik Stormtroopers site (thanks for the tip again Jesse!).  I've also already cleaned up some of the lines that came from a poor masking job.

I'm unsure on adding any specifici weathering to this one.  It is a Pre-AOTC vehicle so I imagine the Jedi are able to keep their starfigthers fairly clean.

How much did the corps jet cost, I know they are extremely cheap.

 So far it looks real cool, but a jedi would never use an r5, The R5 model was a downgraded version of R2's and 3's IT didn't have all the gizmos and also developed a depressing and pessamistic personality.

[BrentS]

The jet cost a whopping $4.95 at Wal-Mart.

As far as the astromech.  I'll confess that I'm not an astromech expert.  I grabbed the only head that was readily available and slapped it on.  If it is an integrated Astromech, maybe the could use an R5 model?  Maybe?

[Nirvana]

Well, here are my two entries:
Snow Recon Airspeeder




Clone Wars ARC-170 repainted in Snow Camo

[tykrazen]

I'm officially baffled -- what is the base of the first one?

[Smartypants1635]

Halo banshee

[CHEWIE]

Wow that ARC really looks like it's been through a ton of battles and looks really nice.  Very well done.

I hate to say it, but I am going to be hard pressed to participate this month.

 

[Clone Hunter]

I've shown it before but I'll show it off again:

[Nirvana]

That looks like it's coming along pretty nicely...it'll look pretty sweet when it's complete.

[Fritzkrieg]

I like the new version better 

[RollaJedi]

oh man!  Thats cool!  What really hit me is that I have that same laser cannon on top of my ship as well!  AND my ship I've been working on is kinda along the same line as yours.  KInda a weird co-winky-dink.
