It’s been a long while since I’ve posted anything, but I never stopped enjoying working on these miniatures. Here’s a preview of a series of photos of my most recent project: an ARC-170. Expect more to come!

Where are the guns?
Gentleman, it took two days longer to post but here you have it:
BBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT!
I'm calling this the ARC-170-B Heavy Hitter. Its based on the A-10 Warthog with the intention the Republic would use her against Confederacy ships - like when you want to really give them a bad day. When I look at this little ship I'm reminded of these little memes:
I made this for a client and I did some meaningful modifications:
-
The
60mm Gatling gun
has been hollowed out and I added little
air-space-pockets for a more muzzle look. This little freedom dispenser is integrated into the hull for a seamless look in the nose but down the hull you can tell the Republic built the ship around the cannon.
- An open turret bay where troopers can manipulate the turrets and have a greater field of view. I imagined ARC troopers disembarking on the hull of a ship while this baby provides close support. This is a more UH-1 Iroquois (aka Huey) design feature but I went for it. The ARC-170-C will be all ship!
- The tail turret is a massive . The original 170 had those two tiny turrets and the rear gunner would have no view. I carved and smoothed out a larger window surface and modified an existing cannon for something that is deadly in the front and in the back.
- Minor cosmetic details to the engines, fins, etc. The next ones I want to smooth out the lower brace and things here and there.
I'm really going to miss this one but I will make more depending on what someone wants. Anywho, here is a side-by-side comparison:
...And finally a few finished painted photos!
Very nice idea !
Sick!
This is prob one of the few ugly style rebuilds that completly 100% works with what I think a fighter custom should be
