Sanwar pirates air skiff (WOC conversion)
« on: 11 January 2010, 02:36:37 PM »
converted from a WOC collectable miniatures Star Wars Skiff by removing the pilot, adding two late 19C ship model guns with lengthened muzzles and a scratchbuilt mast using 2 wooden rods and a sail made from 170gr blue/gray card with a clipart dragon printed om.  Crew are Ironclad Sanwar.  I will probably change the colour of the disc in the top of the mast from gold to gunmetal for a better contrast and some rigging will be added.  BTW the top pic depicts the colours of the model about right, 2nd & 3rd:  bad light I'm afraid...

Your comments are welcome.

Rudi

Great job! I have a couple of these models myself and I planned on using them for my Sanwar too.

It looks great.  :-*
Some Star Wars vehicles are perfect for VSF conversions.

Reminds me, by the way, that I'm still looking for that large StarWars desert skiff by Kenner from 1985 to build a nice airship from like the London Warlords did, but it will either not appear on Ebay, or when it does once in years, it sells for unholy prices ...

Agree with you on that one. Sterling Moose put me onto a few models which are usually easy to get hold of. Now I cant find them on e-bay  ::)

Nice conversion Guedens, it works well for the Sanwar.

Very nice - much better model now that it has been re-purposed.

I bought a couple for that very reason a few years ago - not cheap but compared to today's prices an absolute steal.

Exceedingly so.

Also like the way you hid the stand with the smoke!

Brilliant!

Great one Rudi. As always.
Come to think of it; would it be possible to enlarge it by taking the centre section of a second model? Overlord vehicle?

Thank you all, gents!

Nope, Willie, in that case complete a scratchbuilt one would be an easier option...
