Topic: Goldleaderone's Custom Vehicles

[Goldleaderone]

Well I finally finished another custom, my A New Hope TIE Fighter. I spray painted the whole thing white, taped over the cockpit window and cockpit hatch at the top so no paint would hit both, and repainted the panels black myself.

Oh yeah. Looks great. Looks like I have more fp material for tomorrow. I am on a slow as Hades laptop at home right now with a slow connection to boot or it and a few others would be up there tonight, but this looks great guy.

Good Idea man. I might have to paint mine that color.

I'm fairly certain that this is an action fleet vehicle, the larger 6" scale vehicles from back in the day.  I believe that the titanium line already has a white tie fighter.

the white tie looks even better now that it's finished.  The best part of it is that it's so simple to do!

have you gotten any more work done with the t-wing or the z-95?

[FialaFernbrugg]

It looks really good Dave, great job mate.

[Goldleaderone]

Thanks guys.

The T-Wing and Z-95 are coming along slowly. I began painting the T-Wing but I think fortress gray might be a little too dark, might start over. As for the Z-95 the only thing holding me back is trying to find the right pair of wings. What I'm trying out right now is the folding wings from an Imperial Shuttle and cutting the wings so they're rectangles. If that doesn't work I'll have to buy a model kit of some sort.

Finally got this tie on our fp. Looks great. I am hoping to coax you into that walker custom I alluded to sometime. I think you could really do it great justice.

[Luke Sprywalker]

Nice looking paint aps on that Tie buddy.

[Reconsgt]

it turned out great, being an old school guy, I like seeing some white ties

[Clonehead]

That does look sharp.

This isn't really a custom, it's more like an abandoned feature. Let me say first I can't take credit for this. Unreality from Rebelscum discovered this feature, I'm just passing along the info.

Tamer if your reading this, I'm sure you'll love this one.


Anyway, if you notice on all Action Fleet AT-ATs, there are 2 wheels located on both sides, underneath. (Note the arrow)




Here's a closer look. Also, note the tiny hole as well.




On that second pic, you see 2 screws. I unscrewed them, and revealed this. (You can clearly see the wheel part now)




If you take the wheel out, you can see the tiny hole.




I took a string and tied it to the wheel. Then I put the other end through the tiny hole, and attached it to a Luke figure, and here's the result.




Empire Strikes Back anyone?

I haven't had a chance to be online much this week as my little girl is sick and I have pressing work demands this week, but I keyed in on this from the get go. Looks great. On the front page!

goldleader one... you just blew my mind with that at-at tutorial.   I actually had to get up and check my at-ats and shure enough your right, they all have it. 

that is freaking awesome.  I guess it was abandoned because they never made a mold of luke with the grapler gun....   it'd be interesting to make a mini-fig with the correct pose so that it actually looked right.   

.... wow.... still amazed at that. 

[FialaFernbrugg]

That is a nice idea Dave. I think it would also look good on the Revell AT-AT.
