You know I got an extra pair of feet like the ones on my walker and a old tie fighter and atst....won't be exact as the drawing but not many concept sketches are exact to final product...
The Banshee pilot would be a great figure too

Love your drawings, keep them coming. It is very inspiring for develop custom vehicles.

I think the AT-PT or the Clone Recon pod walker would be a good donor for the legs and possibly the engine/drive unit....

Scratchbuilding the body might be the best bet

well actually the Hasbro Clone Trooper tripod AT-AP has the two legs that would work excellently for the TIE -Walker concept...just need the TIE ball to be modified, and the body be custom made from sheet styrene panels....and greeblified...

Could you add a person next to the walker for an idea about the size?

no access to a scanner for the time being; (was using parents' lol)

so I took my camera out and tried to take pics.... well I think a scanner would be far better.

here are the drawings I've done so far since the TIE Walker!
another view of the TIE Walker in color; with a pen sketch of pilot next to the whole scene;


a series of sketches for what I am considering doing to my Y wing toy that would've cost me too much to restore, what with it needing 17 parts..
pen sketches and pencil sketches of the original idea; a truncated diamond wing form kind of like the Eta-2, and kind of like the RL F-22 Raptor;


a concept of longer hulled, two-man, no turret, fighters, a friend of mine came up with the name, Kidon, which means Spear in Hebrew.. like the Aleph used in the EU; this idea is going to be built in sheet plastic, totally scratch built and scaled to fit two figures;


an earlier color sketch of a 1-man Kidon type fighter with Y-wing front hull and turret left intact; I might do this one to the Y wing toy I have...


the pilot sketches for the Kidon fighters; based on the Robotix Figure I have, and based on the Banshee drawing's helmet; as well as two alternatives;


three color options for the Kidon pilot;


another set of 3 color options for the same pilot; with line drawings of how the helmet should look;I think I can use the Clone Pilot (ROTS) helmet and do some modifications to it using sheet plastic (small) and possibly putty and sculpt the lines/detailing on it...


and then here's a pair of Uglies/prototypes... basically ARC-170 center hull and X-wing S-foils and engines... could be "Ugly", could be Incom's XT-65A development Mule for the T-65 X-wing's engine/S-foils system using an old ARC-170 center hull; there are 3 crew, but instead of two gunners, the center position is taken by one of Incom's engineers for evaluation of the engine/S-foil system and the Class 1 Hyperdrive that will be used in the production T-65 X -Wings; for the reference for the center hull, I used the Making of Revenge of the Sith book; sharp eyed guys will notice that the engines are farther apart from the central hull; this is due to the ARC-170's wider center hull and the need to have the opening mechanism separate from the cockpit area; in the production X-wing, the center and rear positions are eliminated; thus allowing for a slimmer hull and lighter fighter overall;

with S-foils open and in attack position; you can see the warhead launcher between the lower engines and the hull;

with S-foils closed;


EDIT: I totally forgot three other sketches of a tattoo Idea I plan on having done on me...
Tattoo Idea #1; front view; font would be like in #3;


Tattoo Idea #2; same front view; different details and simpler; maybe not that much simpler due to the checkers lol


Tattoo Idea #3; 3/4 view, might be more recognizable as a Star Wars Rebel pilot helmet... not sure if I want the green/black checkers, or if I want the blue Alliance symbol like on #1..

I really hope to see that TIE Walker get made one day. Back to the front page with that update. Great idea of the S Foils on the X-Wing.

couldn't you modify it so that the viewport opens out? at least that is how I envision it....

and Tamer; thanks!
the Kidon and its pilot will be turned into custom vehicles when I get the materials; and then possibly the ARC-170/X-wing ugly if the Revell snap models are the same scale to each other...

Really loving the vehicle designs! So many cool ones it is hard to pick a favorite. The walking eyeball and the Ugly are at the top of the list though.

I was thinking with your design the tie ball would of opened from the back...however if using the hasbro toy it plossible for what you want but difficult imo I might attach the turning mechanism to the back "handle" on the toy and leave the doors on the top...but thats what I would do

Yes I do; it is http://camodeafie82.deviantart.com/gallery with a lot of NSFW stuff there...

Krztfr; here's what I was thinking for the TIE ball..... could you make it so that there is a hatch on top of the body for the figure to "climb" down into the ball through the top while maintaining the turning area on there? kind of like a tank turret.... with rings and support system.... originally I had in mind a resin cast of the Hasbro TIE ball that could be modified/ sculpted to adjust for a pylon-less ball and provide a way to make the front viewport a hatch...
