Every now and then I think it would look neat for a computer monitor to be installed in the ole troop bay. I am not sure though about the scale or if it might get too hot to use! Wouln't a walker make a daggone neat mini aquarium too! Neat pic Clint.

Looking around for Tamer's full 3 3/4 scale prototype walker, this morning, I came across this site and it's hoax report of a German ww2 walker. I thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Now that is gonna be a front pager sometime this week! I love historical fiction (anyone read any Harry Turtledove?) and this one gave me some chuckles. I must say whoever put this together has one great imagination. It almost reminds me of some kind of spec sheet for a military WW2 version of dungeons and dragons.

Indeed, they list attributes of the walker like something that you would be rolling dice against.

I love this RPG stuff. They have a neat smaller chicken style walker too.

Check out this custom recovery walker I found pics of at Starship Modeler.com.

Nice FP story on that one. I figured that's what you were doing.

Man, I just spent the last half hour looking at some of those. The mods people have made just look awesome! That Yellow salvage walker is priceless. Still there is somethng wrong with a walker without some major firepower.

The yellow on that one almost kills it for me but it is a stunning piece of work, to be sure.
  I thought you would like that stuff.

I really liked this cold weather trooper mod. I have another  "Ive already built one stock looking version with minor detail mods" speeder bike model like the one he used that I bought to customize but the amount of work that he put into this one makes my planned simple Kashyyyk style repiant of the figure pale in comparrison.

Yeah, I saw that one too and was pretty impressed. I figured you might use this one as inspiriation for a col weather trooper yourself one day. The colors are pretty nice.

yep, those colors that he used are real nice. It's hard to believe that there is a sun shade shaved biker scout helmet underneith all of that extra trim. Amazing! He put some real love into that one.

I keep hoping we get another IMPS or some fan made film that will give us an Imperial Stories on Hoth. One hope I have is that the live action tv show, if it ever gets off the ground, will give us some of this too. Heaven knows it will be nice to get back to a regular figure physique as the CW figs are not doing much for me.
