Picked up today at a model contest during a raffle the following:
Revell 1/48 Rafale M Fighter, but the decals are damaged and unusable.
AMT/Ertl 1/32 Star Wars Trade Federation Tank

I'm looking for ideas on what to make from these kits. Any suggestions?
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Use the top half of the tank on a different chassis and go all MaK on it!

MaK?  I do have an M1 tank at home, but I have different plans for it. So I need something else that the top half of the Droid tank would look good on.

Or Nutrocker hover tank style.
