Topic: BlackThorne's Custom Vehicles

[BlackThorne]

Sorry for my late comment on this jaw-dropping project! I agree with previous commentators and with you! You can be very happy with the result. I like your attention to detail like the drilled holes for the main cannons. Like on your Rogue One Tank the paint looks amazing on this AT-ST. If I got The Black Series AT-ST that cheap, I'd be tempted to customize one as well. If I remember correctly this one could be found on Clearance for as low as $9.99. The cheapest one  of The Black Series that I got was 30€. Well, if I break down the SOTDS Hoth Assault Pack from 2010 the cheapest Walker was probably about $20. Good times...

I think you nailed the shade of grey used by the Galactic Empire and I also enjoy how you recreated the weight of the vehicle on the diorama base! That's the kind of stomping action I like and only know from Jurassic Park. haha And I also like how you filled or covered all holes for the screws with additional details and added this battle damage to the body's front. As JDeck already said, this could be confused with a fine model by Bandai. And I think that's a big compliment. This is a dream project of many and as far as I remember not your fist custom Scout Walker, right? The rusty one was another impressive idea. Really well done, mate!

Thanks! Converting this AT-ST to a more movie-like model is not too hard to be honest and I hight recomment as first try. When the time comes for you to make you own just hit me up, I can help with the steps. I still have two AT-STs in the line, one with the desert theme and the last one base on the Marauder's version from Mandalorian.

The base does have a bit of jurassic park vibe with the stomp mark on the ground indeed!

Hear, hear! That's a great looking AT-ST.

Thanks!

The paintwork on the assault tank and the AT-ST looks incredibly good.
Excellent work

Thanks! Sometimes the weathering make all the difference.

Here some pics from the A-wing and B-wing that are part of my last hangar dios. Both had minor mods and a full repaint:

The A- wing look really good. What modifications did you make to it? I love the paint job on the B-wing. I think it looks magnificent.

Thanks! I'm working on an X-wing at the momment. This will be a version undergoing maintenance.

An X-Wing too, sounds awesome.

You really have a great thing with this Rebel Hangar you have going on.

That B-wing cockpit looks really good! I like the center control stick and beaded chair.

This month I'm a customizing machine, just finished a small side project; actionfleet Sandcrawler repaint & a small vignette for it to chill.

That's really awesome! What's the rock made of?

[Starchaser]

I love that! Nice job with paint applications. I, too, am curious about your rock face.

Love the weathered paint job on the Crawler. Seeing the tracks in the sand is just awesome too. Great all around.

Thanks! I made the tracks and the rocks to make the vehicle look bigger

Thanks, guys! The rock is made of plaster, I carved the rock profile out of foam and styrene, them drop plaster over and it is done. The paint did the final trick.

Thanks for sharing your process and materials for the rock.
