Looks like it has an outer shell or cover that the Separatist shuttles don't have.

Anyone up for removing that shell and giving it a CIS paintjob?

it also has a cut down fin..

and no canons on the CSI shuttle...

The original one is unarmed, not to mention the astromecanic droid pod...

once I’ll have it i’ll clone it (with a cast) and try to make those modifications... ...let see how it goes with it, afterwards I also had made some vulture droid fighters that might go on with this shuttle...

could be nice for special campaign based on a CIS bastion encounter...

there actually are some armed versions, seen in the clonewars show. they are just not common. and the armed ones we see mostly just have one big cannon mounted near the top of the fin.

Are there any pictures available for this configuration?

I would like to have them in order to make this versions once I get this ship...

Count Dookus armed variant.

It also has laterals cannons, and the cockpit is different, (having a second sight three cockpits are different).

Interesting, I think we can make a whole collection of the seathipede class shuttle, I would like to se the pictures of the seathipede shuttle from the Phantom Menace

I had purchased The seathipede!! let see haw can I do to make those CIS configurations!!

keep you informed!!! ?

Hi.

As promised, here are some pictures showing the advances. I have to make some new details, but the main structure has been made.

Honestly I have a hard time really genuinely believing the Phantom II IS actually a sheathipede. I mean, yes, I saw the episode and I saw how they got it, but it's such a radical refit that it's basically a new ship.

I had made a few documentation study in order to make the CIS Seathipede and I had found four main models.

One is the original one, the neimoidian shuttle from the episode I, Who hasn’t got canopy ... on episode II we can see the neimoidians using it again on Geonosis (there’s one of these shuttles without cockpit during the scape of Dooku...)

During the clone wars, the neimodians seems they had made a big deal selling this type of shuttle and we can see several versions of the seathipede shuttle (the small cargo shuttle seen on the picture from above, the personal transport shuttle and an armed version seen on Clone wars serie, we can also see above)

On Episode III Grievous lands on Utapau in one of these shuttles (the same type seen on episode II )

so as you can see, four versions available (...five with the Phantom II).

My Idea is to make the personal shuttles, the version from Grievous on episode III (is the one I’m trying to make right now) and the one stolen on rebels, I think those versions were the ones who had more exit or probabilities to survive after the clone wars, but would like to make also the automated version from the episode I, and why not the armed one!!! a wide brand of shuttles!!!

The issue is that they're typically much larger than the Phantom II is. You could **** near fit the Phantom II in any sheathipede model.

No indeed they are shorter

if you look at the rear landing legs on the Phantom II were inside the main structure and in the others they were on the tail, outside the main structure

Here on this picture you will see better...

I dare... ...I’ll have to cut part of the rear structure...

elongating the fin and modification of the rear part...
