I can't believe this is finally done! I started this so long ago that RoC was still relevant. Shortly after I finished my Razor Gunship, I decided I wanted to make a second in the black and red deco from the RoC video game. But I didn't want to track down/pay for another Imperial Shuttle, so I picked up a Republic Shuttle when it was on sale, then gathered up the rest of the prime pieces (the Evac Fighter, the DTC Hiss...the Night Raven I already had), and started cutting. Unfortunately, it didn't come together as well as the Razor had. So I stopped for awhile, and just let it sit. And sit. And sit. Until I finally got sick of tripping over the half-finished custom. So I decided to finally pick it up again, years later.
The Republic Shuttle isn't as sleek as the Imperial shuttle, so I designed this one to be a heavier gunship than the Razor. As for the name, the gunship is never named in either the movie or the video game, but in the behind-the-scenes material, it is referred to alternately as the Razor or the Typhoon. Since I used Razor last time, I went with Typhoon for this one. Typhoon Gunship: Main body: Republic Shuttle Cockpit/wings: Aliens EVAC fighter Cockpit sides: DTC HISS Engines/wing tips/missile launchers: RoC Night Raven Tail: S6 Dragonhawk Other: Tons of misc kibble, lots of scratch styrene Troop compartments open: With its sister-ship: |

Crap! I was wondering what happened to you!
I saw the first one a loooong time ago and snagged the pictures for inspiration, glad to see you are still at it. Vehicles turned out very nice.

This is amazingly cool! The Razor was very inspirational.

These are awesome! I too was disappointed with the size of the gun ship we got from Hasbro, yours is HUGE! I don't think we'd want to pay $100 for it. Not sure why they can sell Star Wars vehicles for $100-150, but can't sell Joe ones for $45.
