A bit too much Battlestar Galactica for me though. Good idea though, its always nice to see concepts or sketches brought to life.

Looks like something out of G.I. Joe

Completely agree. When I first saw these concepts, I immediately thought of the Snow Cat.

Yeah, looks similar...

TFB, do you take comissions??

I could use a snowcat and tear it down and cast what I need. Thanks Shawn for the heads up on that. Jorn what the **** are you after?

It's possible, but at the rate I work would probably take 6 months to become completed.

Would love to have one on my shelf, but wouldn't want you to slave for me for a toy vehicle,
couldn't afford it anyways

Nice sig. Whatever did happen to that guy that came on here claiming he had some of these for sale? :roll:

Wouldn't they be easy enough to fake since they are Fisher Price toys?
Would love to see that thread.

Any instructions on how to kitbash/self make the Fisher Price figs is appreciated.

Back to topic though, TBF, I'm looking forward to see your finished vehicle. Wish I was able to do customs like that.

Get some Fisher Price Adventure people, swap limbs/heads, strip the paint and paint accordingly to the pic on theswca...
That's what I'm planning to do anyways

Sounds easy. Don't know jack about Adventure People. Are there any similar to the Stormtrooper/R2??

I was wondering the same, and Vaders head, haven't looked too much into it yet.

Great project Todd I'll be tagging along with interest m8

Your gonna need to buy some sculpy clay as well. The fisher price bodies and heads where used but some things where hand crafted and affixed to the existing figures to make them look that way. The R2 is not part of that. He was built from the ground up and as you can see threepio was still a piece of cardboard.

Is that sculpey supposed to be heated so it stiffens?
Or is it just clay you can mis-shape by touching?

Actually this concept vehicle is really close to the Mego Buck Rogers Land Rover

Nice, good luck with the project! 8)
