jamie75 Posted September 28, 2014 After completing the Imperial Troop Transport, I started looking back at some of the 80's toys from Star Wars, I came across some un-produced stuff. I have seen them before, but, for some reason. I got the idea to make the SRV-1. It's a cool little vehicle used to recover snowspeeders, transport troops, or carry cargo. Both cockpits open, cannons both rotate 180 degrees, bed tips, loading ramp folds up, and there is a winch in there. I really wish those windscreens came in trans-black, but, trans-blue doesn't look too bad, I guess. This model is comprised of 768 pieces and holds 4 troops, a driver, navigator, and 2 gunners. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. Thanks, Jamie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rishab N Posted September 29, 2014 Nice! I'm not really familiar with this vehicle but it looks accurate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HJR-Holland Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) This variant of the vehicle looks very much like the GI Joe Havoc: I made a version myself ten years ago; for more info on the original concept vehicle, just click here :-) I really like this rendition, especially as you just have one picture to base it on. With a gazzilion snowspeeders released surely LEGO should see that they need some kind of transport to take the destroyed ones back to base?

jamie75 Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys!! HJR, to me, it reminded me of the G.I. Joe Snow Cat. I had the Snow Cat and HAVOC both, the HAVOC always confused me, even as kid. Leaving the gunner exposed like that. I played with the idea of making it with wheels on the front, like the Snow Cat, as well as skies, like the Cobra Ice Wolf. But, having 2 sets of track work best. I have seen the pics you referenced to, too. I like the yellow version better. And, yeah, I agree, with all the Snowspeeders released, you would think there would be a repair/ maintenance vehicle for them.

Jamie Kenner & Hasbro, masters of leaving troops exposed in their vehicles... the Imperial Troop Transport was another such vehicle, leaving six troopers exposed on the flanks, in danger from sudden turns, low-hanging branches, and Rebel marksmen! I was reminded of the Snow Cat, too, tho the Havoc is another good match. When you first posted it, I was tempted to ask if the cockpits can separate like the Cobra Stun, but looking again at the Kenner art I realized that wasn't the intention. So many Joeverse vehicles this thing resembles. Now I'm afraid I've gotta go back down the rabbit hole of looking at all that unproduced stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
