Starwars GB.. Speeder Bike we have Vuda 4/4

[BJ]

Decided to take a small break while waiting for some information on a new project so I figure I would just have some fun and start my SWGB KIt. So am starting the worst part of this kit (So Far..) The corncob figure. Have him finally glued together, now to dissect him and try to make something usable.. This will be interesting as I have never really sculpted any human anatomy so well see.. More to come..
and for the purists.. You may not want to watch this build as like I said.. this is all just for fun and practice on sculpting/painting and landscaping so It is going to be a little wild.

I almost bought this kit at a local flea market but had change of heart. You definitely have my attention. Why am I have the feeling that you are going to add some cool brass necklaces and brass knuckles next...

Another Stormtrooperette ?  -

I always wanted a speeder bike, not the model, but a real one.

A blogger pointed out something funny the other day. If you watch carefully, you'll see that no Star Wars movie character has ever been successful in stopping their speeder bike without destroying it.

I always fancied a speeder bike myself - but now I'm not too sure, now that I know you can't stop without crashing
Needless to say I want to know how this develops!

[Leon]

Looking forward to seeing you tackle this Billie Jean!

John,Dierk....Sounds like the manufacturer forgot to install the airbrakes!

[dupes]

Yeah, that figure...so hard to make it look right. The seam running all the way around it is awful.

The bike, on the other hand, is pretty solid!

[BJ]

Thanks.. I'll post some pics later.. He is now decapitated and I am attempting fix his helmet. This is sort of what I am going for but with a twist..

John, It's funny you said that as ONE DAY I would love to take a Segway and make it into a STAP.

Should be interesting to see you transform this one BJ, looking forward to it.

Well finished the head.. I see what all the Sci-Fi nerds were talking about.. This thing was a pain.. Besides completely doing a new one this is as good as it gets..
Now on to the fun part.. Re-posturing the body.

No comment: with your initials and mentioning 'head' in the title there is nothing I could say that wouldn't instantly get me banned

[Leon]

Nice surgery on the head Billie Jean!

We have a lower torso. Took a bunch of cutting don't think I will be winning any sculpting awards but it serves it's purpose.
And after 18 ours of machining HDU we have the beginnings of the Vuda memorial .
Still have a lot of cleanup but it's a start.

Your doing some nice work on this. I built this many years ago (its one of the few thats survived) and the figure is a pain as it comes. I have a couple more in the stash and am planning on altering the pose of it. I think your doing a really nice job on that.

And a nice Vuda as well.

[dierk]

Nice work! 18 hours well spent!
Being easily distracted I couldn't help but notice the pot of beef boullion (made with real beef - who'd have thunk) making a big deal about 33% less sodium - but the first thing on the ingredients list is SALT

[Leon]

Nice work on the figure altering and the Vuda memorial Billie Jean!

[tigrazor]

Look at that figures - great work. Did you sculpt the memorial by yourself?

[k1w1]

Probably abit early to be praising your Biker, but that Intergalactic Budda is most impressive - nice work.

I never realized how many uses " Real Beef" had.

[wbill76]

Love the Vuda! That will be a cool added detail no question.
