batcode Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 hi all just finished this one and hope everyone likes it???? due to being a small and quick build kit I wanted to push myself and do something special with it so cam up with idea of doing it from a scene out of the Empire strikes back ( which is my favourite) and who an forgot the epic battle on Hoth..... so armed with google and a test to my skill level I got on and built the kit which had no issues and is as mentioned a basic snap tighter kit. the dio I first put a layer of filler with some white paint mixed in so wouldn't yellow then positioned the speeder where wanted it, then let it dry overnight,,, after armed with some hairspray I used deluxe snow and sprinkled over the base....... after weathering the speeder I glued it in place then applied the built up snow fixing it with x20, after was a case of just finishing touches including the footsteps walking away from the speeder... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a pretty rough kit for sure. But the nearest in scale to what I want would be the Alfred Wong resin kit which while great by comparison is about 6 times the price. I'm thinking of completely sanding down the Revell kit to the basic shape and rebuilding and detailing from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mostrich Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 This is a perfect example for a less is more kind of work. It leaves more to the imagination of the beholder than it's actually showing. Well done, I like it a lot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
