ok, since i already did a Xwing/Stystriker for Luke, i need to have a ride for Han and chewie.


I tought of using the c-130 form true heros, but I would like to have something more in line with the look of the original Millenium falcon.


so here a crazy idea i have. Not sure how you feel about this but here goes.


I used an old vintage falcon and mounted the canon and the treads from the grizzly tank. it looks kind of scary ;-)


what do you think ? Am I going in a wring direction, Should I stick to an "Air ride" ?

I like the top tank on the Falcon... but not too sure about the wheels idea under.

Anyway, I'm still a big fan of your X-Wing/Skystricker crossover idea!

Even the original, without photoshop has it's own charm.

First, excellent work with the figures.  I especially love the Chewbacca using Volstagg from the Thor movie line.

As for the Falcon, sorry to say this but.....KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!

It might work as some sort of mobile bunker/base thing, but as a ride for Han/Chewie I just can't see it working.  I think part of it is you're trying to mesh vastly different vehicles/esthetics as well as ground/air/space/sea vehicles.  I think it is a case of too much, when something simpler might work.

I want to see what you can do with Vader, Boba Fett and just to make it interesting, Dengar and Bossk.  ;)
