Thanks guys! Happy you like it, heres a pic to give you an idea of where im heading with this, roof will be on most of the time and clear engine diamond shaped covers (hard to see) will be metal, its about 10 inches long x 12 wide Going for the battered T-70 grey and blue colour scheme happy modeling!

Bandai SpeederBike & Scout Trooper 1/12
BobSolo replied to jaitea's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
Cool build that bike could be real, saddlebag turned out great as did filling the joints! Congrats! -
Ducati 1199 Panigale S used for intakes: Made a plan for the wings, im going to use 1/4inch aluminium square rods running inside them to give strength and allow them to open/close: Im now working on the base, it will be covered in Bandai death star tiles, more on that to come! Hope you like it so far, happy modeling

Cool the pics worked, heres some more of the fuselage coming together, it will get longer and deeper at the rear.

Chopping up the Aventador:
-
After becoming slightly obsessed with the new Star Wars movie, i decided i wanted to actually be IN it as a character, unofficially of course. So i needed a ship.. a Starfighter to Bounty Hunter and Smuggle my way accross the galaxy! I love the new T-70 X-Wing esp the new wing design, but i wanted something more individual than just a re-colored one. I love Lamborghini's and Ducati's and after looking at an Aventador.. a light bulb went on in my head. This isnt an ordinary X-Wing, cockpit forward, based on a lengthened Lamborghini Aventador roadster, now a single seater with Ducati wing Intakes. It will have a segment of Millenium Falcon style engine on the rear, with the main fuselage tapering up/down to meet it. Lighting planned for Cockpit, Engine nozzles & front guns.

Im looking forward to the "official photos coming soon", we should see if its legs are poseable, id like to have one walking.
-
The AT-ST on Dragons twitter with the legs bent looks cool, theres a picture of one on Endor on the table behind it too. I always just assumed they were all the same models, i shouldnt have seeing how many falcons there are and the X-wings ect being slightly different. That wrong blue print over on the RPF is cool, i can imagine that framed.

Bandai Rebel Snowspeeder 1/48 'Good shot Janson!'
BobSolo replied to jaitea's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
Cool build and those pictures of it flying make it look so real, congrats! -
Bandai Imperial Scout Walker AT-ST 1/48
BobSolo replied to jaitea's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
Oh wow i like the leg mods you did, thank you for showing us how you did it. I hope Dragon see that Studio Scale build, and do these Studio Scale mods with their 1/35 scale AT-ST as the legs look so much better like that. -
Those two new close up pics of the AT-ST look cool, i dont know how accurate they are but im sure fans will point out anything thats not right. Yes that would be huge esp with 3 or more AT-AT's one faceplanting the snow and exploding! I was hoping Bandai would do a 1/48 AT-AT to go with their 1/48 AT-ST and Snowspeeder for a diorama. But now im thinking YOLO why not go all out on one big Dragon 1/35 AT-AT, one AT-ST, 2 or 3 Snowspeeders, one about to get crushed underfoot, with figures and turrets, led's and plastic laserbolts flying everywhere, maybe even a lil scout trooper on a speederbike too! I really do need to see the prices first though.. and i might have to sleep in my lounge on a sofabed if my bedroom becomes a STAR WARS collection hahaa!
-
Yes 22 kits is mighty impressive and they are really good kits too! A 1/72 Bandai Falcon would be so cool and i dont think id be able to resist a 1/48 Falcon with a T-70 (and maybe a new shape Y-wing from future films) flying together either!

1/12 Bandai Stormtrooper
BobSolo replied to Kahunaminor's topic in Work In Progress - SF & RealSpace
Thats turned out cool, the matt black really works well imo.Thanks for posting your mistakes, youve saved a lot of us from making them too, i dont read half as much as a i should -
Bandai Imperial Sandtrooper 1/12
BobSolo replied to jaitea's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
Great job on these two and i really like your subtle realistic weathering on the Sandtrooper. -
If i was Japanese i would sleep inside a HUGE Star Destroyer Model.. like a STAR WARS vampire! I really hope they surprise us with a large Star Destroyer, I love Bandai's current kits!

Bandai First Order TIE fighter
BobSolo replied to ScootyPuffJunior's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
This came out great, i remember opening the box of one of these and thinking damn that is a LOT of black detail, but youve really bought it out and made it look real congrats! Did you spray the inside of the cockpit glass to get it red like that? Its looks really good and the base is cool too!- 15 replies

Thats great news!! I just saw a 1/35 AT-ST prototype on their twitter too! https://twitter.com/dragonmodels?lang=de Yes i dont know where the extra guns details on the Snowspeeder came from, maybe this is from a future film? Maybe Han Solos Film? Maybe its the camera but the cooling fins looks lil wonky and the gun tips not on straight but this is a Prototype so im sure the finished model will be awesome! A 1/35 AT-AT, AT-ST, & Snowspeeder OMG HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE!!!!!!!

Bandai Imperial Scout Walker AT-ST 1/48
BobSolo replied to jaitea's topic in Ready for Inspection - SF & RealSpace
I think i saw you on the rpf? I lurk on there and remember someone melting a leg and it snapping? Anyhow this turned out nice, these AT-ST's still look really cool, awesome design! -
He came out really well congrats! Thanks for posting your cool mods in the WIP too! Im getting quite fond of this lil fella, he would look great in other colours for sure, as soon as i first saw him i was thinking how cool hed look as a white/blue BB-2 or a black/red evil BB droid. So much fun to be had with droids.

I really enjoyed reading this WIP, thank you for taking the time to explain/show how you did it, thats one cool Snowspeeder!
