The horse was still moving, so I thought I'd beat it a little more.
This is final packing I modified for my R5-A3 Armstrong custom.

If you are interested, the custom toy I did this for is up for auction on Ebay.

As part of the R5-A3 custom I built, I thought it would be fun to make the packaging look as close as possible to a genuine 3A Toys box. This is one of the elements for the packaging.

This was a nice little experiment. I've always loved Ashley Woods style and I finally had an excuse to try and mimic it. While I don't think anyone would look at this and say "Hey, that's an Ashley Wood painting!", I feel like I got in the ballpark.

R5-A3 (3A Armstrong/1977 MPC R2-D2 Mash-Up)

This is R5-3A, my latest custom! I combined a 3A Armstrong with a 1977 MPC R2-D2 for this one. I made the blaster from scratch.

R5-A3 is a prototype battlefield Recconaissance Droid deployed with the 357th Star Corps. Equipped with a portable ion pulse canon, R5-A3 was very effective against the droid armies of the Separatists. Unfortunately, due to financial cuts, this droid was the only one produced.

If you are interested, this custom is up for auction on Ebay.
