Or is another class better to use. I'm thinking of around a 15th level build using 3.5 rules but no BoED or BoVD books (since i'm not that evil or good lol) Any Ideas on classes, feats, or items that could help in this is greatly appreciated.

For something a little less abusive, someone suggested using a slaughterstone eviscerator (MM3) as a mount here a while back. You'll want a metamagic rod of reach, for total repair, maybe craft contingency too so you can put some last ditch protection on your constructs. Still, that doesnt get you away from being a blastificer during combat. Using astral construct as a psion/wilder lets you concentrate a bit more on the actual constructs (there is also the constructor PrC if you are allowed Mind's Eye content).
