R5-A3 Packaging

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.
