Topic: BlackThorne's Custom Vehicles

[Darth More]

The first picture you posted already looks majestic! I really like the colors you chose and especially the chipping! Nice details on the treads and I agree the rock alone looks amazing.

Looks just like in the movie!

I finally finished the Mandalorian's Walking Terror. If you are not thrilled with the hasbro's raider AT-ST, well, you're not alone. Dont get me wrong, I love when hasbro releases stuff; new cast, old cast, overpriced and stuff. With some custom work the vehicle can be better, and by that I mean way better. Here is the final result:

Dude, that turned out very nice!
  I love the vantage point in shot #2

While the detail and custom work in your AT-ST is fantastic, I can't stop laughing at the hatches that are open in #2 - the hatch doors positioned like that make the walker look "angry."   

[Tamer]

Well, I had to pick my jaw back up off the floor with this one. So freaking awesome!

So off to share on the front pages. I mean wow!

VerY, VERY nice!

Thanks! I had a blast working on this thing.

Hehehe, I cant see it same way, but I'm glad you liked. I plan to add the red light at some point to give that anger feel.

Thanks, man o/

I'm finally done with my AT-STs tour and finished the last one I had in line. Different from the other two which had a heavy and light weathering applied to it, for this one I choose to only replicate the classic colours and that's it.

To be honest this one could be moved to another dio so I still want to have the oportunity to mod it further.







Here is the first one that was made:

Looks fantastic between the greebling and the paint shading. Great job.

[Tamer]

I agree that greeblie work is outstanding.

[RCWCreations]

Great work!

[Tamer]

I wish someone would sell kits like this to finish up the inside of the AT-ST legs.

It really makes such a difference to the final product.

Not to mention the paint work on this is fantastic too.

Thanks, pal. This new year I plan to learn some 3d sculpting shenanigans and might be able to offer some king of upgrade kits to improve the toys.

Thanks, man. Let's see what customs the next year will bring 

Great work!

Thanks!

Well definitely count me down for a few. I know I have a couple of these I would love kits for.

Great news.

Okay, I tend to being late on here. You knocked those Scout Walkers out of the park as much as you knocked me out of my Baby Yoda socks, man. So I needed to pick up my jaw first before I could leave my comment.

I got one question since you shared your AT-ST Raider from The Mandalorian: Did you modify Hasbro's original TVC release or is your Raider a complete repaint of the Black Series version?
I'm extremely curious because I don't see any chance for me to get my hands on the Klatooinian Raider from Hasbro for an affordable price. But I might pick up a TBS one without toes for 45€ next week. I'm going to cast the missing toes in resin and repaint it completely.

Yet, I doubt that mine will look as good as yours. I went back looking at the pictures of your latest A- and B-Wing and your paintjobs look just straight professional. Every touch by the brush looks accurate, the paint is applied nice and evenly and your chipping is one of the finest I've seen.
Same applies to your second AT-ST. I think you nailed the shade of grey. hehe
I really like how you add more detail to your Scout Walkers. It does make all the difference in order to make them look like movie props. This tooling will always remain one of my favorites by Hasbro. I still feel the excitement of the time when Hasbro announced this new design back in 2008. I was so happy that I had patiently waited full of hope for an all-new design.

And now we're here: TBS AT-ST were sold as cheap as $9.99 USD at TK Maxx and left all possibilities for us customizers to modify & repaint them. Must be good to live in the U.S.

I wish you a merry Christmas, BlackThorne and best wishes go to Brazil! Thank you so much for sharing your impressive vehicles with us!
