Andy Moore Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Speeder Bike and Biker Scout Bandai 1/12 Star Wars build no. 4 for the year, and this one went together as well as all the others from Bandai, although the size and shape of it make it somewhat unwieldy when it's all together. The trooper had to be pinned to the saddle to stop him from sliding around and the whole thing's surprisingly heavy, there's quite a lot of plastic in this. The wip thread is here I'll definitely get another at some point, when Disney sort out the mess they've created, as I'd like to do a Hoth one in white, but for now here's the Endor version. Thanks for looking Andy 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matiwashere Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Looking good there! Like the build a lot and the base really brings it to life. The paintjob is great, the weathering is great, what else can you ask for? Ah yeah, great pics and you also got that covered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FZ6 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 This looks awesome and makes me glad I picked one of these up while I had the chance. I massive improvement over the AMT One. Especially the figure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hi Andy well I enjoyed your WIP but not as much as I have looking over this quality masterpiece. Brilliant effects and weathering both on the speeder and rider. Love the base too - and that satchel mat turned out just fine in the end 10/10 John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hope4sun Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Been a lurker for a while and it was google that lead me here and to your posts when researching for my Star Wars kits as I'm currently getting back into the hobby (well since airfix kits a child many years ago anyway) and had to sign up and just say this is an amazing build, the weathering, base and pose are off the wall! Great work mate, love the style of pics too! Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango 1 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Andy this is truly inspirational work! I have even dug out my old AMT speeder bike to see what I can do with it! Do you mind if I copy your display idea? I think the way you have displayed this model is outstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind if I copy your display idea? I think the way you have displayed this model is outstanding. Don't mind in the least. I'd love to see what you can do with the AMT version. If you were thinking of using a similar wooden base, I got mine from here Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango 1 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks Andy! I have made a start on the bike and I am doing a little conversion work on the figure. The AMT kit is nowhere near as nice as the Bandai kit you have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
