Back by popular demand: Crazy Titan Ed

[symphonicpoet]

I personally think he looks better in the blurry background as a looking threat, as he's over twenty years old now, but I do like him. He's one of my favorite high-school era conversions. There's a bog post with an explanation called Grim Dark Titans of the Vintage Future! Now with More Ed! that I've pointed out in the threads where the questions arose, but I wanted to put the art in its own thread, so here it is.

The short version: this is a conversion of a vinyl ED-209 similar to one a friend did. We were inspired by the converted AT-ST titan in White Dwarf (and I have a damaged AT-ST model I picked up cheap years ago awaiting the treatment.) The EDs were a little easier to get at the time (and still are, probably) and made great conversions, so we went with those. The weapons are variously pipe, GI Joe toys, and wood dowel. Added detail parts are from assorted model tanks and aircraft. The cockpit is mostly from an A-10, though reconfigured considerably and with several added parts.

I love it! The banners, the clinging space marines, the gun barrel with 'Tom' written on it... Thanks for sharing the photos!

You'll find that there's also a gun named Harry and a missile rack named Dick. I'd just read "The Great Escape." At one time there was one more laser turret on the left shoulder and a pair of missiles on the right shoulder. You can still see the hard points for the missiles and the outline of the gun turret. I've decided he's over-armed enough without them, so I've decided to leave them off, but I haven't gotten so ambitious as to repaint the boy.

Thank you. I do still rather like him, old and battered as he is.
