Faller silage parts (kit no. 130476) + Sd.Kfz PE part + half an hour of time = nice addition for the base. I really like the Faller kit, because its quite cheap and lots of handles, round sillage parets etc left for later projects.   |

Thank you Leon. Added some paint & baking soda, and now the fun really can begin: Cutting the canopy of the speeder in two halves and adding more detail, because its supposed to be open.   |

"Do you really want to hurt me?!" "Sure." >> Canopy cut in two parts >> maintenance door opened >> some cables etc. added  |

This bitch is SMALL!! And the train stuff is really great to add to something like this, cool idea! And you prove that it is not nessessary to buy a high priced kit to come up with an excellent result! More superdetailing if you dare, it will look really fine! And the base rocks!

Thank you Frank. Most of the details are good, and it was a good deal for 7 €. A friend showed me his 1/48 Bandai kit. Its of course a bit better, but costs three times more. I paid the same AND got diorama stuff and two figures for it.  |

That is exactly the deal! Thinking of all Revell SW kits I bet you can get a maximum out of everyone of them without paying the hell for it! And, to be true, are we model builders or pussies??

I asked a friend. He said the blue markings are fictivous. They planned blue markings, but the film makers noticed that it would cause problems with the blue screen. Thats why they have red markings and not blue. |

Nice work on the pit. Makes sense about the blue vs. red markings...sometimes sacrifices have to be made! |

Thank you. And its so much fun to paint it too - it just got additional panels for the cockpit and paint. That means: a homebrew dark metallic color, Maskol chips and of course white! |

Tada. The SnowSpeeder is complete. Now that the most challenging thing is done - the paint job - I added a little bit here and there, nothing serious. And yes, the paint job wasnt too difficult of course, because theres no camouflage involved or similar. Stuff like: >painting the inner side of the cockpit glass >painting the laser cannons >drilling and attaching the Speeder to the base by a brass rod (painted it white of course ) and... a surprise! More soon. Thank you everybody for looking in - may the glue & paint be with you. |
