Scale: 1/18

Let me introduce you to Vaixeria, a proud representative of the ``Assenata`` tribe of warrior women from the planet Zetaïr IV. She's riding a Quadorgan, a mix somewhere between a machine and an animal with an artificial intelligence, a kind of droid. The Amazon is armed with a fusion cell rifle, a laser sort of weapon. The massive helmet, which is taken from the skull of a dead Kyrostarus, is a captor of energy, which enables the warrior to have greater combat abilities and increased survival instinct. I won't bother you with the ceremonial taken place but the helmet is surrounded by a strange aura of esoterism...

About the model now, sure you recognized the AT-AT, with a saddle made out of epoxy putty, a tarp with tissue and add-ons from the box. The female is the rare Vampirella from Aurora back in the seventies with added hair from the witch, again of Aurora. The armor is medical gauze, the leggings are made out of masking tape and the boots from tape, putty and gauze. The weapons are taken from different McFarlane figures.

The laser weapon is scratch, the arms were repositioned to handle the reins and rifle. The helmet is from a pigeon skeleton of renewal. I think the base is from the Tar Pit from Aurora and trees from different kits, with puddles of the swamp out of acrylic gel and future.
