Republic LAAT Carrier
3D-printed kit scaled to 1/72
Well, I opted to take another commission. Even though for my last commission the buyer backed out, I did end up selling the LAAT Gunship. And the person I sold it to has become a good friend and a 3D print-man for me. He and others are making a lot of figures and customs for the Micro Galaxy Squadron line at 1/72 scale. So, he asked me to build and paint a LAAT Carrier that he printed.
The LAAT/c 3D model is incredible in detail. Moreover, it's very intelligently constructed. If everything fit together perfectly, you'd think you were building a regular styrene kit. However, not everything fits. The tolerances must be really tight because I've had to do a lot of sanding already. Time will tell if it gets easier or if I end up pulling my hair out.
Still, this is one of my favorite vehicles, and I'm going to enjoy customizing the LAAT carrier into truly nice model.
Hey Mr.Campbell, just curious, does your friend take commissions for figure printing for the micro Galaxy line? I might be interested, Jazwares never seem to give us enough figures, so it would be awesome to have a few more.
Hey man, I know there are some people who print and paint figures on Facebook. Check out our MGS Customs group. If I had more time, I’d probably offer to paint them. What figures are you looking for?
Just some droids figs like R2, some battle droids, some scout troopers, and random aliens, micro galaxy scale-1/72 scale, probably as a small bulk order like 50 figs so I’m set for long time, just for my models and dioramas since it’s so hard to find figures at that size. I appreciate the offer for painting, thing is I do the same, it’s half the fun right?
