Spectre if ever you are going to throw away parets like this please offer it up  to the community as I would gladly pay shipping to get fodder. I use this stuff all the time. They also look good added to vehicles. I love what you turned them into then with your paint skills they are just awesome! Great call and I am glad they didn't make it into the trash!


oh yea, I relly love the moisture vap. great job cobbling everything together! I just live for random things like this made from junk.

Really really neat stuff!  What did you use as the "cup" for the watchtower?

Thanks! :)

It's a removable turret from the Cobra Ringneck vehicle from the early 2000's. I have another one to make another tower in the future :)

Awesome sentry post...

Love the coloring on it. Look very used, and that is a good thing, even though it sounds weird typing it...LOL

Great work on all accounts! Each piece has a lot of character and works very well.

Absolutely amazing use of imagination! These are spectacular!

I also have a ton of those missile launchers from figs over the years and have thought about the same exact thing you've done here, but I never actually did anything with them.

I love the paint technique that you use to make these look like they actually came from the SW movies as set pieces...are you willing to share some insights into your paint process?  I know I'd love to be able to even come close to replicating this paint technique!

i just can't get over how you keep out doing yourself.  I kept my springs loaders in hopes of using them for greeblies for a vehicle or something or if all else failed give them to my son just to shoot around the house.  But this is genius the pieces fit right in to SW universe perfectly.  Great job.

Thanks!

That's the sad part of making cool stuff, now if I want to make any more of them, no one will want to part with their launchers LOL

I still have about 2 dozen assorted ARAH and misc. launchers in the bag that I haven't figured out what I am doing with so I still have some for future use :)

These things are just awesome!  You've totally inspired me to dig thru my junk box and try to cobble something together!  They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...so hopefully you'll see it that way if similar items show up here also.  But not as nicely painted, tho.  Your weathering style is really good.
