This thing has been quite a few months in the making, most of that spent tracking parts down. I LOVED the way the Gunship (it's referred to as the Razor in the pre-production materials, so I went with it) looked in RoC. The toy, while not bad on its own, was a horrible attempt at recreating it. Hopefully, I've done a bit better. I know it's not 100% accurate, but it was as close as I could get (I have zero scratch building skills, so I had to attempt a kitbash instead).

There is, of course, one problem with mine...THE GIANT FREAKING HOLE IN THE SIDE OF IT. Apparently, the Imperial Shuttle hatch (which I need to complete it) is a very hard to find part. If anyone can help me with one (any version, yellowed, broken, whatever), I'll trade very well.

Enough yapping, here are the pics.







And the parts list...I'll try to do my best to describe what part made what:

Main body: SW Imperial Shuttle
Cockpit: Aliens EVAC fighter w/ sides of a DTC HISS tank
Wings: Aliens EVAC Fighter
Wing tips: Fins from a ROC Night Raven
Engines: RoC Night Raven
Tail: S6 Dragonhawk
Cannons: RoC Night Raven

I have WIP pics, too, if anyone is interested.

AMAZING.

I'd love to see WIP pics!

Also pics of it next to some traditional Joe copters for scale.

hot damn. Yeah, the ROC version looks more like a little shuttle to me, and you are right that it is cool, other than as a replica of the movie ship. But THIS. This is a Gunship.

I'll take 3, hatch doors or no hatch doors.

Holy ****!!

#1 Welcome back Darko!

#2 That's easily one of the best custom vehicles I've ever seen. I'd easily drop $50 on one of those if it was factory....my goodness. I request more pics, with figures!

Here are the WIP pics. Once my camera charges, I'll try to take some scale-shots. One of the WIPs has my OTHER giant project, which is based on the Pit, in the background, so it should give you some idea as to the size:

You know I'm a fan of this huge project. And I think you nailed it perfectly!

I like it. Personally, I'd say forget tracking down the Shuttle hatch and just use styrene (or a for sale sign) to make your won wall. That way you can make your own movie accurate door way with stairs.

Oooooohhh yeaaaaah!

That rocks! Totally makes me wish Hasbro had given us that gunship as the "big toy" instead of the lame PITT.

While I don't think it is quite an exact replica, who cares? That is one cool toy! Call it the Razor II or something. But don't change it.

One question, what do you have for landing gear?

A work of art mate. I've got nothing but he most respect for guys who take on and finish epic projects like this. You should do a video review.

Isn't the proper name for it the Typhoon though? That's what all the guys call it in the DVD extras.

Oh man that is really nice. I love the look of it! Bravo!

One of the most amazing custom vehicles I've ever seen!!! Even though I recognized most of the parts, you blended them together seamlessly! I really hope you get that hatch you need, but even without it, awesome custom!

Thanks for all of the feedback, everyone!



I've heard it called both (there was a third name, too, but I can't remember it right now), but the "mission dossier" calls it the Razor, so I went with that one.

That is epic.

I am very impressed.
