I wondered how long it would take for someone to make one of these. Wow is all I can say. So fantastic. I have lost a lot of time this morning just perusing this.

Off to the front pages and I know what will be at the top of our pages today.

Im at a loss for words!

This is simply amazing!

Did you consider using clear plastic from blister or window packages for the canopy? You could then paint in “smoke” color which is essentially a translucent black so the canopy can be clear

So cool that it has opening doors!

Lights for the engines and seats for Mando and passengers?

Do you plan to do a blackwash of the ship for a hit more weathering?

Job well done!

Folks are loving this on our Facebook Page too.

Just wanted to say again how outstanding I think this is. I so hope Hasbro will give us one even half this great when they release one.

Thanks folks.  I'll be sure to respond to some of the questions momentarily.  In the meantime, i created a short youtube video covering the Crest:

You've created two amazing prototypes there! I think the Crest is About the size a Hasbro release would look like. Will it look this good? I don't think so.

Outstanding work! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks again, Folks.

Pasaana Transport Skimmer

 

The dearth of new figures and vehicles for Rise of Skywalker meant that I had some opportunity to tackle some custom projects.  The first one I wanted to try was the Pasaana Transport Skimmer, a very old school Star Wars design that really tickled my fancy.  It was small enough that it wouldn’t be all encompassing and only take a few weeks.  Also, RoS Rey was the only character that got the 3.75” treatment, and I had Chewie and BB-8 to fill out the rest of the crew.  Where’s my Sexy Ascot Poe and Sexy Vest Finn, Hasbro?  I gotta make the Cargo Skimmer, but need the characters to pilot it!







See?  Wee little build!  It’s about 10” long, and was a lot of fun to put together.  I sacrificed some of the finer details around the steering vanes and the bottom, and rejigged the back to make it sturdier to stand up to being played with (it may still get broken, but it can always be repaired).   









And with figures!







Thanks for looking!

Wowy kablowy! That's really great! I googled a reference and it looks spot on. I kind of feel cheated not getting my 5poa guys or vehicles. Your WIP video is inspiring, you make it look really easy, but that's a lot of precise cutting.

[Tamer]

Mind blown again! Wow, wow, wow! I wish I could leave comments to show how awesome I think your build are. Every time, just over the top.

Off to the front pages.

JDeck said it quite well, "Wowy kablowy!" That is an amazing job on a fun vehicle. I love that you design with a sensibility about play value, too. Really cool.

Its creations like this and some of the other things he has done here that make me wish I was filthy rich and could just pay him to make stuff like this for us all day long. Hasbro, hire this guy! I mean John retired, couldn't you just see Glorbes filling that position!

[RCWCreations]

Wow, just wow!!!!

Your vehicles are absolutely fantastic!

I have to agree with you! The aesthetic of this vehicle is really OT like. Heck I fogot that this is a 100% custom build for a moment because I was distracted by this incredible paintjob of yours! Colors, weathering & effects look spot on! Also the shapes, parts and dimensions are fantastically well done! Another masterpiece to add to your vehicle collection!
