My Jumpmaster was missing its Astromech

Very cool. Looks great.

Great work on the engine glow!

Awesome. Go post it in the pictures/repaints thread, too!

Awesome work!

I also see that you have one of the 'clean' fuselage models. A friend has 3 of them, and two are 'clean', and one is more weathered. So, the weathered one is his official Punishing One.

WOW!!!

aww look at his little gun! hes helping!

better hope your turret won't have to aim at an enemy behind and to the left

Don't worry, R5-P8 got that angle covered ;). Looking at my model, I am pretty sure the turret would hit the top of the cresent part of the ship, if it shoots forward to!

Wohohohooow ... really cool work.

That's awesome - how did you make the droid?

I found a tiny piece of plastic rod in my bit box, that had little flash bits at the end, glued it to the tip of a matchstick and shaved and filled it. Then I had another piece of even thinner plastic rod, probably from an old airplane kit antenna or something like that, cut that and made the gun.

Nice little mod.

Quite nice.

I believe the Astromech were internal- R5-P8 was Dengar's Gunner. Still, adorable nonetheless.

I should really click links in the OP before I open my mouth.

Great conversion but I'm still a bit disappointed the title wasn't the first line of a joke, similar to "My dog's got no nose".

How did it navigate?

Terribly!

Well played sir, well played.

Squark: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R5-P8/Legends I can even give you a link with R5-P8, he seems to be Clone Wars era and Hondos astromech originally.

Cactus: I could not risk a killing joke!
