Orangesherbert Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Hi. Build number 4 on the journey. Had a lovely old time putting this together. Really enjoyable. Have to thank AndyRM101’s Snowspeeder build for inspiration & help along the way. His build was invaluable. Many thanks Andy. Had a few fit issues with the engine pods around the rear cockpit, but that was my fault by glueing in the front gun pods before i had everything painted & sorted. My dad bought me a 1/32 Hawker Hunter, which is huge, so i built the speeder while contemplating what i was going to do with that, apart from build it. Here’s some pics of the speeder in its natural environment … of cardboard. Cheers. Edited July 4, 2016 by Orangesherbert 13
ScootyPuffJunior Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 That turned out great! I really like the finish you achieved with the weathering. 1
whitestar12chris Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Very nicely done, well done All the best Chris 1
Mike Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Another nice build I reckon you need to treat yourself to a better backdrop, as the cardboard doesn't do your work justice 1
Orangesherbert Posted June 15, 2016 Author Posted June 15, 2016 Another nice build I reckon you need to treat yourself to a better backdrop, as the cardboard doesn't do your work justice Its my magic cardboard box. Pop the sprue's in, leave it for a bit, open it up, and voila ! I think you're right though mike Thanks for the nice comment.
Mike Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Glad you took it in the manner it was intended I can also appreciate your comment in your sig. Same here 1

GazB Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Great job! Can I ask what you used for the final colour of the fuselage? I have one of these in waiting and I'm contemplating what shade to choose for it. Gaz
Orangesherbert Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 Thanks! If my memory serves me well it was like approx 60 percent off white, 20 deck tan, 20 London grey. All vallejo. Go easy on the grey tho ;^) 1
