Sci Fi Whiffs - park them here

From deviantart via Starship Modeler, I present an AAT (Trade Federation tank) in a paint scheme called "Arctic Kitten" (inspired I think by Alaskan Aggressor schemes):

Wow, they did such a nice job on that, I was sure it was a variation on the urban winter camo Tau tank from 40k, not Star Wars.

I made exactly the same mistake when looking at a Trade Federation tank at the Nationals, very first thought was that it was a Tau Devilfish.  There are definately some strong similarities in their general design.

I love good sci-fi kitbashes like that, where you can spot what a lot of the components are by looking really closely, but they don't leap out and hit you between the eyes when you sit back and take in the whole effect.  

Nostalgia: I think the grab on the Garbage Collector is a type of printer or typewriter ribbon cartridge that I used to look at speculatively when I worked in an office 20 years ago, but I wasn't modelling then......
