Custom Buckethead Vehicles

since this is based on real world tank models, you could modify your design to match one of the variants...
GREAT IDEA @RuusMarev ! It'd be great as an objective with an artillery or portable comms/jamming/macguffin module planted on the back bed.

If it helps, here is the Real world model.
Bit of an aside from my Imp force and conversion stuff. Shoutout to
@Themodalnodes
for the inspiration on the ANH Jacket!
My painting is definitely rusty. Comments and Crits welcome!

Why is he wearing Han's clothes? That is a good look though.
That's what he wears at the end of ANH at the medal ceremony lol.
Looks great!
Given the teaser for the FFG TX-225, any plans for a First Sergeant Arbmab/tank crew buckethead for the AT-ST hatch if the FFG model won't fit?
Yes. I'm back on the bits train. Put several new helmets up last couple days.
Luke looks amazing!! Epic work and glad I could be of inspiration
The patrol trooper looks awesome but those converted scouts are brilliant.
Ok...#1 Super Jealous...and #2 I need some!!! Fantastic Work!
Happy to see some one finally take in consideration the Mimbanese people. I hope can receive my bits soon, can't wait.
Patching and priming now... should have some good WIP paint pics this weekend!
Sorry for the link, pic upload wouldn't work =/.
The sun finally came out and I got some ok pics!
Do you have any pics of your Sandy Searchers kit on the Stormtrooper figures? Also, what about Rebel Commando Riders for the Speeder Bikes?
I'm preparing 2 Stormtroopers Jedha Patrols using Bucketheadbits back packs & Pauldrons..so hope the images can help to give you the idea......I'm very happy with the result...
Thanks Sergio1977. In general they look great. Not sure if I am sold on the Pauldrons though 🤨 Seems like they need to have that hard edge bend added to them and the piece that goes under the helmet across the chest needs to be narrower and longer. The limitations of print thickness and such are understandable, but it almost seems like they would benefit from being made to fit each individual sculpt, especially since they are always the same pose when assembled.
No hit against BucketheadBits by the way, your doing great stuff. Just more of an observation to increase the capability of the kit.
@Wes Janson The Pauldrons are measured to fit the Squad Leader. I'll think about doing a set that's designed for each specific trooper. It'd take a fair amount of effort... I haven't done a squad with the Sandy Searchers kit for myself yet but I probably should a lot of folks have been asking about that one lately.
Squad looks rad @sergio1977 ! Thanks for sharing!

100% understandable needing the extra effort. Just seems like it would be of great benefit to the look of the kit. Really just trying to provide useful feedback as you move forward.

I really appreciate the suggestions, I just want to be open about my thought process so folks who suggest things and I don't do them right away don't feel ignored.
No worries at all @BucketheadBits , sometimes we have to get away from the computer lol. I figure if the leader already has his Pauldron on the model that cuts down on one of them required. Something else to consider would be alternate arms for the Squad Leader to help each one look different.
Trying to get stuff painted so I can actually play some more games lol. Here's the Nosy Neighbor ready to go (probably run him as a specialist or objective):

I was going to run him as a comms officer stand in.
