"HOTH REBEL TROOP TRANSPORT" created by Customs for the Kid

It's been a while since we created a custom vehicle, but when Hole in the Ground Productions released casts of their "Troop Transport" we knew it would be a great addition to our Star Wars collection.  First we weathered up the cast pieces.  Then, we used some decals that we purchased on eBay to accompany the stickers that were included with our original purchase to really personalize our vehicle once it was assembled.  One decal set we bought had some beautiful designs that were created by the talented graphic designer Viper Aviator.  We also used some reproduction decals that were from the Vintage Rebel Transport to give it the finishing touches we desired. We really love the way it turned out.  It looks awesome on Elias' Hoth display shelf!
