I've been working on my modern military stuff lately. Just wrapped up some Devgru Navy Seals.

I'm now working on a Pavehawk conversion into a SOAR bird.

I've added a fuel boom, radome, FLIR camera, etc. I've also dremmeled out the windows to make way for miniguns/window frames. A lot of parts coming from 1/18 military guru Picklehaube.

The progress so far:



Still need these upgrades...

Crab sensors/advanced communication tail sensors


Miniguns and window frames.

Thank you sir. Working on a bunch of stuff. DH

Chopper parts won't be available until after the new year. So in the mean time, I'm kit bashing and customizing a 1/18 Marauders, Inc Police Officer and police cruiser.

Kind of a self-insert custom, but I made a Titusville PD, FL officer complete with patrol car and police equipment.


Motor Unit coming soon...

That's really cool! What is the base for your police SUV, I really like it.

Very cool projects! I somehow forgot to comment on your Black Hawk. I really like all the mods inside and outside the chopper. Your 1/18 scale soldiers are probably the best one can buy for money.

Your custom Police Interceptor is something special. Such a cool idea! I'd probably collect American police model cars if they weren't so expensive. I saw a video the other day of a Maisto case at COSTCO and Sam's Club with 1/18 scale cars for just $15. When I was in Manhattan I saw NYPD cars with $60 price tag. Maybe that was the tourist tax, but they aren't much cheaper on ebay.
Anyways your custom vehicle is so well done, I couldn't even tell if this is painted or made with decals!
The figure representing yourself makes this project complete. Always awesome stuff to find here on your thread! Thanks for sharing!  smtie

Thanks! Yeah, this is outside of the Star Wars realm but I've also done stuff there too. Most recent was a conversion of a Jedi Fallen Order Mangaguard into a captain for Grevious' personal guards. Also some pretty neat clone wars Mandos.

These projects took the main focus because they actually were more than just repaints or kit bashes. The JoyToy military figures are probably the best figures I've ever owned...best articulation and paint apps in 3.75"

Awesome self custom. Pretty awesome.

Wow, this is so cool! So you ride a BMW once in a while? Those vehicle models are such a unique addition to your collection - especially the figures! Love these projects!

Haha I don't but motor units at larger police departments get to do so.

That's really outstanding RC! The motorcycle is great and the figure looks excellent. I had the same reaction as Tamer :)

Funny enough this did start as a California Highway Patrol bike. Haha.

Thanks! This was a lot of fun to put together. I finished out the figure.
