I've seen that vehicle before and I thought it was awesome last time someone customised one. This time you've gone one better and created a top notch speeder...love the colour choice...

the only thing I would recomend, as to make it look more star-wars-esque would be to pop open the engines and remove the fan blades and then rig up something to look more like a jet engine.  There are alot of things that would work, I did a custom of that vehicle a while back and used PVC fittings for the engine details.

Yes, someone did a unique camo paint job on one.  The first time I saw it in the store, I knew it would be great to use.  I'm tempted to get another one...

THAT IS IT!!!  I'm so new to customizing.  Thanks for the idea.  It just happens that I have some in the garage.  I'll go check right now.  Thanks.

hey no problem!  for being new this is a great job, the paint scheme is nice and crisp.  of course it helps that pretty much everything looks good in black! lol

Looks great! I love it. I have to force myself not to buy one every time I see this.. I would customize too many!!

Why go through life base fig, when you can customize?

I picked up three more from a local WM on clearance for $2 each a few weeks ago.  I still figure to get a Hailfire Droid's missile boxes to eventually make a Battlefront AAC-1 Rebel Speeder.

why the crap were they on clearance!?  and why the crap don't I ever find awesome deals like that!  gah!  and man I'd realy have loved a set of those hailfire boxes on my latest custom, but your right doc, they would look epic on the sides of that hovercraft!
