It is actually a Hasbro Star Wars: The Clone Wars Clone Turbo Tank that came out several years ago. Works great as a LOS blocker, and after the wash/dry brushing, it looks pretty good on the table.
Finished this up last week, but finally got it on the table last night.
The original idea was to use a piece of plasticard I had cut for another reason, and make a small command bunker or possibly a machine gun nest. Through a happy accident, it actually works really well as a 1.4 FD gun position. Pretty lucky guesstimate, since I don't have one to use when measuring the dimensions! (the one pictured is somebody's from the store)
Finally made use of the new bunker/gun position in a game last night. My Clone Paras and a Z-6 squad held it against all comers!

Gives a very Band of Brothers, storming the pill boxes and gun emplacements at the beaches of Normandy vibe.
Nicely done!
Hey! These look freaking AMAZING!
<zzzzt> Now to our sponsor for some constructive criticism <zzzt> (I'm weird)
You should try adding some dirt around the wrecked AT-AT, so it looks more natural(for a gaming terrain I mean).
<zzt> Now back to our show! <zzt> (I have a theme alright!)
I love the trenches, and the gun position looks AWESOME(especially with the clone troopers)
Hopefully you ignore the fact that I'm a madman.

I missed this post before. This looks fantastic. It seems like it's decently to-scale as well! It has got me considering picking one up for a kashyyyk map I'm going to start working on in preparation for the CW release (yes, GAR will have the help of "rebel" wookie berserkers!). Doesn't it open up in places too? It would be cool to have walkways up to/into it.

Yes, it has several panels on the side open up. It's not the best for Legion, as the interior scale is way off, but it could be interesting to have walkways or scaffolding up to the side like in the Battlefront II (2) map. I've considered that for a colony/Republic outpost idea I've been tossing around, but we'll see.
As I've been doing for my other tables, I decided to try and get some updated pictures of my trenches table. Not the best layout, but these hopefully show the current state of the terrain, and how the Juggernaut looks on the table now that its been weathered.
You need a smoke machine or something for extra atmosphere

My local game store might not care for that, sadly, and I'm not sure my friend would either.
Edited by Alpha17Board looks great!
@Alpha17 How do you like Bolt Action, you ever play Konflikt '47?

I have never actually played a game of Bolt Action. I bought into it, got a full Brit Army assembled and painted up, only to realize that there wasn't a local community for it, and the handful of attempts didn't really take off. Legion was much easier to grow, so my BA stuff is still packed away downstairs.
I never had much interest in Konflict '47. In theory, I like the idea, but their execution comes off as way to sci-fi/late night History Channel for my tastes.
Wasn't quite sure where to throw these pictures, but since they'll likely end up in no man's land eventually, I guess this works. Adding to the collection of scrap is a crashed Delta-7 and an escape pod from a Consular-class cruiser.
The escape pod is from the expansion, just painted like the Radiant VII's escape pod as seen in the Episode I Incredible Cross-Sections book, while the crashed Delta-7 is made completely out of scrap and spare parts from other terrain projects (the model itself is incomplete and was purchased in a lot with the Delta-7 used on my Republic Outpost table.)
