Heavy Missile Platform - Droid Gunship
The Heavy Missile Platform (HMP) was a droid gunship deployed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. It was based on the design of the older Mechanized Assault Flyer.
Manufactured by Baktoid Fleet Ordnance, the HMP droid gunship was an ominous-looking, heavily-shielded aerial missile platform. Designed for air strikes in planetary atmospheres, the droid gunship compensated for its sluggish airspeed with a powerful arsenal of weaponry. An HMP gunship's standard weapons configuration consisted of two laser cannon turrets, one medium laser cannon, two light laser cannons, and 14 missiles. It also had two movable metal mandibles, for an unknown purpose, at its front. The gunship's modular wings allowed the HMP to carry a wide variety of ordnance, from concussion bombs and torpedoes to electromagnetic pulse missiles. Seven missile launchers were located on either side of the gunship's main body, below the large aft-mounted disc housing the reactor core. The HMP's repulsorlift would steadily drive the gunship in flight, allowing for stable shooting in battle.

Reworked/Repainted Hasbro playset. All the playset features (e.g. missile firing) have been disabled & removed. New nozzles were added to the missiles ans chin blaster cannion was being detialed up with junk parts.
DSD1 Dwarf Spider Droid
The DSD1 dwarf spider droid, also known as the burrowing spider droid because it was first used to destroy opposition in narrow mine shafts, was a battle droid manufactured by the Commerce Guild to support the cause of the Separatists
The DSD1 was similar in function to a typical combat vehicle. It was also used to punish customers who had declined to pay their taxes to the Commerce Guild. Its main weapon was a long central blaster cannon mounted on its dome that was both capable of firing rapid-fire anti-personal rounds, or slower-rate high-intensity blasts that could destroy light vehicles. The droid's small frame and four all-terrain legs made it suitable for warfare in dangerous mines, and the adjustable legs made it capable of getting better elevation for the blaster cannon. However, because of the fixed laser cannon, it could not turn around to track enemies, thus making it inferior to speedy targets. Also, the length of this cannon sometimes hindered it in confined areas, a weakness was exploited by Anakin Skywalker on Escarte.

Reworked/Repainted Hasbro playset. All the playset features have been disabled & removed. Asdie from detailing the hull, I also added new communication antenna and foot pedals for the legs.
Viper Probe Droid
The Viper probe droid, commonly referred to as the probot, was a deep-space exploration and reconnaissance probe droid produced by Arakyd Industries. The Viper model was based on the success of Galalloy Industries' early probe droids. The design of the probot also relied heavily on the work of Viper Sensor Intelligence Systems, a corporation acquired by Arakyd during the Clone Wars.
The lightly-armored Viper droid measured 1.6 meters in height with six manipulator arms extending from a central pod and several retractable sensor arms for gathering samples. High resolution receivers and sensors covered the domed head—including motion, acoustic, sonic, and seismic sensors, a radiation meter, magnetic imager, and holocam. It had an atmosphere sensor capable of determining a planet's atmosphere class within one half-hour. It moved on a repulsorlift generator which was equipped to operate over any terrain.[2] Information was relayed back to its superiors via a high-frequency HoloNet transceiver. Its repulsorlift engines carried the droid across terrain at up to 40 km/h, while the arms gathered samples. Vipers were delivered to their targets through single-use custom built hyperspace pods. They were commonly deployed along the perimeters of key strategic star systems and hyperlanes to act as automated guardians.

The Belbullab-22 starfighter was a heavy starfighter constructed by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies for the Confederacy of Independent Systems. General Grievous flew a battle-worn Belbullab-22, Soulless One, during the Clone Wars.
Even after the defeat of the CIS and its remnants, Belbullab-22 fighters continued to roam the spacelanes during the Galactic Civil War. Many of these ships were used as elite fighters by Imperial and Rebel forces.
The starfighter was bulkier and hardier than the droid starfighters employed by the Confederacy of Independent Systems, standard weapon has two rapid-fire triple laser cannons capable of inflicting damage equal to that dealt by a V-wing starfighter, and two powerful main ion drives. The Belbullab was designed for a single pilot.
Feethan Otteaw not only has a rather strong military customer backup, but also favored by many civilian and private operators. There are countless custom built versions currently on the market or in development phrase. The following one is owned by the Princess of Grand Monarch of Recopio Confederation from the Core Worlds Region. Due to her background as an accomplished competition pilot, the Princess has requested the craft to be stripped down and rebuilt with light weight alloy. Standard sensor suit has also been replaced by a custom programmed Recopio package Standard armament has also been replaced by a pair of aftermarket star fighter repeater blasters with Verpine cooling system. The resulting craft is much more manual than the standard Belbullab-22 during dogfight and with nearly 30 % increase of power output. The Confederation has offered this upgrade to Fe ethan management as a potential joint venture, but so far the interest in further development has met with luke warm response.
The Kit
Reworked Hasbro playset. Color scheme was inspied by the color pattern of Mimbari crafts from Babylon 5 universe. Again, all the screw holes have been sealed and sanded. Turbo lasers were created from hardware junk parts and ball pen caps. The hull was completely repainted and weathered.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This custom version used by Toponi Sector Privateer has 4 haevy turbo laser with rotating firing sequence riged togher on the upper hull, and a proton torpefo/concussion misdsile launder mounted under the belly. Like Grevious; example, this one is alwys equipped with a hyperdrive.
