Cut the legs off a BattleDroids Behemoth and kitbashed in the legs off a reseen Marauder to help make the Behemoth look more like the Macross M.A.C. II Monster it was modelled after. Just got to paint it up now.



I still love that one, LA - brave, but excellent, and you made a turkey mini (albeit insanely rare turkey mini) look magnificent!

MD Toyama with a minor repose that gives it a lot more character:



Shadow hawk with a scratchbuilt RAC:



Buccaneer with a scratchbuilt arm (I learned to put a filter over the drain after that paint stripping)



Scratchbuilt Guardian S/VTOL fighters



And a Union Class Dropship:

There once was a pic up on an old incarnation of the S7 galleries which was of a kitbasked Unseen Crusader in the heavy guass variant and in lyran guard colours, wish I could post it, but it was lost with my computer crash...

The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

Here's my last crappy finished kit-bash (ignore the terrible paint job it was a real quick one) of Precenter Dantatlion's albatross....got eaten by my dog now so its subsequently been thrown out  :'(...but it gives me an excuse to make a new better one after I'm done with my Gestalt Project ....AKA(when i get around to ordering the parts again...)

I've never been able to decide what pisses me off more: the fact Spaceman Spiff makes such badass minis or that he has the time to make such badass minis ::)

the base mini was a MWDA thor. the right arm came off of a gundam mini. the guns on the right arm came from a Votoms trooper. the left arm is off a MWDA rifleman. the torso cannon....i'm not sure. probably an Armored Core or Front Mission mini. the two smaller torso guns are just brass tubing.

thank you, Blacksheep. love the conflicting passion!  ;) ;)

Spiff is like the kid that lived down the street when I was growing up, who had Multiples of all the G.I. Joes, with all the vehicles and the base.

I've always wanted to see Spiff's game table, especially now that I'm finally starting my own layout in earnest.

I would be afraid to see Spiff's lay out...... i'd have to get out of the hobby due to knowining I could never come that close to his skill.

All very cool stuff.  I don't do much kitbashing myself; a bit here and there, but almost none of it's canon.  Here are a couple of favorites though.

Word of Blake 40th Shadow Division Prolietor and Infernus



Grey Death Legion Marauder 2



Star League Gauntlet 2



Clan Blood Spirit Gladiator H



I realize this is a bit old, but damn those are impressive!

Pretty much everything I do anymore is reposed, so I'll ignore those...

First is a custom Ballista Tank




and a custom 40 Ton Rogue



This Marauder was made from a Reaper Nightshade and Marauder IIc legs




Possibly my favorite, this RFL-3N Rifleman was made using a Reaper Chancellor's torso and a Patriot's legs




Speaking of the Patriot, this is what one looks like (Image courtesy of Camo Spec Online - Artist: Ogre)


Believe it or not, this SHD-2K Shadow Hawk started out as a Patriot




This Goliath got a make-over

Sadly, not good... While my ego is going "Yes, yes, yes! Take commission", logic is reminding me that the last guy I offered to do a mech for waited over three years to get it, and I felt guilty every time I worked on any mini but his.

Having said that, I am not shy about sharing what I did. Granted I bashed this Goliath 4 years ago, but I think I can remember all the parts and would be more than willing to discuss it. Instead of high-jacking this thread, anyone interested is welcome to PM me an email address and I'll get back to them there. If enough people are interested, I'll necro the old thread and add the instructions there.

Orion that I bought off Ebay missing the right arm - fixed using 2 LRM15 lauchers from moulded Thuds.

Locust that was missing Med Laser and Arms - replaced using cut down AC5 from an unseen MAD for ML, 2 Missile pods for amrs from a Thor.

Wow there's some nice work in this thread! Maybe those kitbashes get a bit of extra lovin?

Here is my contribution. A small mod to a Raptor II to add a TSEMP cannon for a RPT-2X2 variant in Stone's Liberators colours.

(I'm not totally happy with the photography as the "midnight blue" looks more like a dark grey.)

LOVE  that wee beastie !!! ;D O0 ;D O0 ;D

I've been contemplating how best to use either a 1N or a 2N to make three different versions: a gatling-style Ultra AC20 version, a short barreled demolition-gun style LBX AC20 version, and a dual (actual, not srm-6) LRM launcher version.
