Welcome to the yard, ghostpantz....told ya the water is fine, :)

Spectre is probably the most prolithic customizer out there and definitely one of the most creative, :)  Instant fan...and I think if you have not shown them already, the cross over verses are a freaking amazing labor of love that will win you friends and influence people, :)



Where is the halloween special>?

Thanks!

The main hull is either a Mortal Kombat Dragon Wing or a Pirates Of Dark Water Wraith (they shared a mold), the 4 steering vanes are cut from a Captain Planet Eco Cruiser's wings, the turret is a modified version of the one from the Tron 3 Man Light Jet and everything else is just assorted fodder from my parts boxes.

I debated long and hard about adding the ship's name like I did on Miss Swan's Regret, but ultimately decided not to do it on this one as none of the ships from the "Pirates Of Dark Water" cartoon had their names on them so I figured some continuity was in order (besides, being from outside the galaxy, Ren and Tula most likely cannot  read/write  Aurebesh so they would not be able to label the ship in anything that the rest of the galaxy could read anyway LOL)

I am glad that you enjoyed this project.

This was one tough build! It looks deceptively simple, but there were some difficult hurdles to overcome. I had to entirely gut the rear pod (Lava version I won at the Tri-State Vipers Get Together last year, :) ) and then scratch build the interior (hardest part of this was removing the console, that was some thick,unyeilding plastic :( ). The hardest part of the entire project was mating the Lava Pod to the Mole Pod, thet do not line up properly and there was a major seam that had to be filled in using Elmers Wood Glue. It took 2 tries but I finally got them to line up properly and filled the seam. I caught a lucky break as the wood glue is self leveling so by standing the craft on it's tail (prior to adding the details on the back), I got a beautiful even seal! :)

BTW, if anyone was wondering, the wicked looking drill tip is a modified "Green Lantern" construct.

Darn you and your amazing vehicles! I have a lava and mole pod sitting on my shelf waiting for me to join them together! I was building the same thing with the same idea for a future chapter of SW Apocalypse! Holy cow, what are the odds? Any how, yours looks awesome! It is a great idea with amazing execution. Your vehicles are some of the best I have seen! Great job man!
