I've always been a fan of the old Mini Rigs... well done on the custom, it looks superb. Great colour choice as well...

My latest custom vehicle is a Ewok Catapult. I made it from a Robin Hood toy I picked up at a boot sale for 50 pence. I had to chop off some bits, add some sculpt putty straps and give it a less plastic looking paint job. Now my Ewok army now has some serious fire power  ()rr

Wow, kind of like I said about PRS latest posting. This is just flawless and so needed for the OT. Wheeljack I tried to put some words about this and your great Starkiller on the front page. I am very glad you joined the Yards. Thanks for sharing all this great stuff with us.

I love it. It's got the mini-rig feel down to a T (The good ones). I can just imagine this in a vintage box. Awesome.

Thank you very much Tamer, but I would like to thank ISY for showing my work, I can never get over it anytime I get a front page, Its become an addiction. today I broke 1000 views on my custom figure thread!!! Its a great feeling making things, I sometimes sit and stare at what I made and think wow did I do that? I build these things for my son because I always wanted a X-wing fighter or a army of Ewoks but my dad never could afford them, Its just a big bonus to be able to share my hobby and passion with so many others who appreciate what we do.

Really awesome idea! I love second hand stores for finding things like this.

I find it cool and ironic your using a Robin Hood toy for the Ewoks

This is a neat minirig, and I'm totally diggin' the whole Ewok theme...but I cannot help to think "What if this was a catapault that hurled Ewoks?". 

What an awesome weapon for the Empire to deploy!  "Behold the power of this fully armed and operational Ewok-launcher".  LOL.
