Title: Vader-Esque Scrap build
Post by: Darth Chasm on November 08, 2019, 07:16:06 PM

I had all these parts laying around. Some for a few years now and decided to do a little mash up. Im really digging this one but I am admittedly a Vader MPP fan. Also went ahead and made a red bubble strip for it.

I'm currently designing a simple chassis for it, and trying to decide on switch placement.

I really like how this one turned out.  Unique, yet classic.

Nice. Reminds me of Slothfurnace's work, particularly the Derelict. It's got that same, in-universe feel to it. Is it earning itself a number in the DCLS line?

Wow! It's like what they might have built for ANH if they had any budget in 1977.

I've been going back and forth on this but I'm leaning toward no. I kinda like the sound of Frankenvader  :cheesy:

Loving it! Classic OT design cues with ST refinements like something Kylo might have built in homage to Vader if he hadn't gone the crossguard route? Just gorgeous and I'm very much looking forward to seeing it with an install...BRAVO!
