Star Wars Custom Of The Week: TIE Strider By Dark Horse

By Bespin refugee on 2022-03-27 in Custom Toys & Art


"TIE Striders are seige mechs dropped from Imperial gunships to bring swift victories in fortified infantry campaigns. With a full running speed of 60mph, coupled with a short range jump/ boost ability, the Striders can jump high blockades and destroy anything within. The weapon shield can be fitted with any configuration of armament, from flame throwers to proton torpedo launchers. The Storm Wraith pilots are physically and mentally augmented troopers. They can control the mechs remotely via brain chips, and their cloaking armour allows them to eliminate high value targets with minimal effort.

Made this from a broken Halo Mantis Mech and a TIE striker body I got from eBay for £1.50. I cut out the body mount and screwed/ glued/ moulded it in place so the joint is bomb proof. Tinted the screen red, and screwed the lower fuselage section to the right arm to act as a shield/ heavy weapons arms. I kept the NERF firer because I like that kind of thing 🙂
