Tony Taylor's Star Wars AT-ST Diorama (http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=243705) via the ARC forums (http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php)
While this is still a work in progress Tony has provided image updates showing his progress and it is looking very interesting from what he has shared so far in his topic in the ARC Sci-Fi forum titled "Knocked out and abandoned AT-ST Chicken Walkers 2 WIP  (http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=243705)"

Not sure what scale the snap-kits are but with the modifications Tony has made to these models they certainly look convincing.

What is the manufacturer's warranty on these bad boys?  Wasn't there a recall on the "ankle joint"?  ;)

I don't quite understand the feature, strength, and weaknesses of the "Twin Ion Engine" propulsion usually associated with the "Dark Side" compared to the kind used by "the Good Guys".

But I couldn't help to wonder if it was, for example, the Rebel fighters that were built around the TIE drive......

Has to be the best movie franchise period.  Set the stage for everything else in my opinion.

Love the toons.  The Wall is particularly poignant.  As Austin Powers shows us, un-named evil henchmen are people too.

Sith don't surf? Sounds kinda cute, but , as everyone knows, isn't even remotely true:

And when they don't have a board with them (TIE cargo holds are notoriously small), well, there's always the local fauna. Sith mind tricks do that for you!

The infamous "get them converging on you and duck out at the last second" tactic?  I've heard of that being used on police cars giving chase, including, if story is to be believed, four at one intersection while the pursued cut through a parking lot.

Wine cabinet? No way! That's a scale replica of the Trojan Walker!

When the Trojans pulled the thing into their city after the Empire left, Stormtroopers climbed out at night and opened the city's gates.

That Tie Fighter is awesome!!! I love how the undercarriage is technically "Fixed" as well!!  ;D

Adding props to a Y-wing would be easy too, since its engines are separated and well spaced away from the fuselage.

What are the twin engined fighters with central pod?
Title: Re: Star Wars Ideas and Inspiration
Post by: RussC on July 23, 2012, 03:32:56 AM
I think they were called Magnagard fighters, used by the trade federation and later the separatists. One is in the 3rd prequel flown by General Grievous. But the scene in the painting is from the 4-6th movies era. And the craft is a bit modified.

Something seen on another forum - if anyone is interested, I could put you in touch with the person offering them:

Quote
I have a new product!
kit-ready to paint
IPhone 4 charging dock with figures automatic electronic lighting system . Whether or not the phone is charging, the light sensor automatically detects the fade light and triggers figures lighting.
When the sensor detects the presence of light (in the morning for example), the lights go automatically out.
Two Star Wars figures included. You can choose any favorite characters from Star Wars
Electronic system comes already installed, you just need to paint figures and the dock and put batteries (batteries included).
For the new IPhone 5,the price is slightly higher because the parts for the charger are more
expensive.
price 69,90 euros
For any question,please PM
All the best

I for one wish it was in 1/35…ah well.

Some ideas:

- Change weapons?
- Different schemes - maybe winter camp, desert camp, jungle camp?
- Scaloramed into 1/35 maybe as a 1 person vehicle or maybe a unmanned one?

Chinese comic book adaptation of Star Wars originally published in Guangdong, China, in the 1980s. (http://www.nickstember.com/chinese-star-wars-comic-part-1-6/) - well worth a look. 

Some possible inspiration - the X-wing from the series:

I was just looking at the Revell General Grievous' Starfighter:

And especially the tail with a distinctive 'rudder':

And thought that this thing just screams to be built as a racing boat!  Remove the guns and anything else superfluous and give it a high gloss (say, bright red) paint scheme and appropriate decals...

My missus would kill me if I did that to her sparkling new Crashcow Qashqai (just got it on Saturday) ... but it's tempting! ;)

It could also make an interesting cross with a 1963-1967 Corvette.

I like that but it needs all the AIM's on the upper wing & all the mud-movers on the lower wing to look "right". :smiley:
