Subject: <SG2> Custom stuff
Hello, This is just a quick sounding to the list after ages of lurking. I've been thinking on all the custom stuff people talk about on here and particularly the Star Grunt game. Does anyone out there have any nifty creations or the like they'd like to show off, because I'm curious to see what others have been doing as I'm about to begin some kit-bashing myself. Thanx, Eli

I've done a little--pictures and descriptions on my web site. Just follow the Stargrunt link from http://robhofrichter.webprovider.com Rob [quoted original message omitted]

DOH! Ever since I switch hosts, I've had a mental block regarding my web address. The correct address is Http://rwhofrichter.webprovider.com Not that other bogus address listed below... Sorry 'bout that. [quoted original message omitted]

I've I haven't done much, but I have kitbashed some Rocco minitanks into 15mm APCs and anti-grav APCs. I'll be taking some pictures at GenCon, I hope, and we'll see if they turn out...

Several Roco IFVs 'bashed into hovertanks, a toy truck repainted & slightly modified, and of course my tilt-turbine VTOL attack vehicle - it's 'bashed from 1/144 aircraft parts, w/ a Russian Hokum heli body and wings and bits from an A-10. That creature was fun to build. It blows up almost everytime it flies onto the table, but looks cool enough that I forgive it!

I don't do a lot of kitbashing, but the custom vehicles I'm most proud of are laser tanks and APCs made from Easter egg halves and plastic toy tanks from green army men sets. Take the turrets off the tanks, and glue the short half of the Easter egg down in its place. Paint the whole thing black and you've got servicable laser tanks. Using smaller Easter eggs, I've done APCs. It's quick and easy and looks surprisingly good, if a little campy, on the table. I'm in the process of adding camo paint. I don't have any pictures on the web yet, but soon will. Kevin > --- Brian Burger <yh728@victoria.tc.ca> wrote:

I purchased them in this form; I didn't build or paint them. I think that they look quite nice, though -- and the scans came out better than I expected them to. http://www.geocities.com/johnxcrim/GalleryStan.html The bits that were used to construct them should still be available from Stan Johansen, too.
