Can anyone tell what this rusty old broken down vehicle Padmé picked up used to be?

Hmm, G.I. Joe Mobile Command Center? I thought a vintage DV's Star Destroyer at first, but figured that couldn't be it....

Correct! It was a GI Joe Pit Mobile Headquarters. Now it is being converted into part of the Army of the Republic. The image above shows the space they have once the folding tower that was originally housed inside has been torn out.

I can't wait to see it. I always pictured that Joe vehicle as a type of sandcrawler.

I think I've seen one customized into a Sandcrawler of some sorts not too long ago!

Great eye Incom! This is the one from the POC line just 2 years ago, the one Jules did was the older one from the 25th line I think. At any rate this is very cool Nate, Can't wait to see how this one turns out!

POC came out in 2010, and the PIT is from the ROC line in 2009, no PIT has been released in the POC line.

Cool pic...

I always wanted a PITT, but never found 1 at a price I liked...

From what I've seen it looks just like the bridge of a Star Destroyer.

Actually I have no plans to make this into anything that has to do with SWA. This project got started because Jenn found this GI Joe Pit vehicle disassembled in a box on it's way to the trash. So she brought it home and told me to make something out of it. I have started doing the repaint job, it will be a mobile command station to support my clone army. I still need to locate some materials for the viewport, maybe I can put up a few pics soon.

Got a little done on this project.



Preliminary paint job and some interior lighting.
