Hello. I look at this site a lot, and I enjoy what I see. The topics that are 60 plus pages long sometimes discourage me from looking through them to see what is new, but other than that, the stuff is usually great. I wish there were more smuggler-type customs, though. I decided to show the one that I made. I posted it before on a GI Joe custom website, but for those who missed it, I will post it again here. I am getting more into Star Wars customs, anyway. I repainted a Naboo Royal Starship, added a homemade "bed", mini-ladders for the pilot and potential copilot to climb up to the seats easier, a locker with the pilot's spacesuit inside, and a couple of Power Team Elite crates painted white glued to the bulkhead. I put the pilot's gunbelt, goggles, and alternate flesh-colored hands inside those. I also added a custom speederbike to the front, replacing the yellow "escape pod" with it instead, adding tips of guns to the grooves on top of the ship. Oh, and I also added little tiny lights to the engine tips (which I cut off), put clear plastic over the windshield, added "steering wheels" to the cockpit, and cut the plastic on the back of the ship to create a boarding ramp.
The pretend backstory is this: Devaronian gambler Lycius Khan won his ship, an F-Type Nubian Speedster, while gambling (real original, huh?). It is a luxury craft, built for speed. However, since Khan loses more than he wins, he often finds himself in the business of smuggling and courier work to make ends meet.
I came up with the new "type" of ship because an accurately scaled 3 3/4 J-Type Nubian starship would be much larger than the scaled down toy that Lucasfilm decided to produce. Anyway, let me know what you think!
