1/18 Rey's speeder & steelpecker.


Recommended Posts

Leaving aside my 1/72 aerobatic collection for a moment, I show you my most recent project: 1/18 Rey's speeder made from a 3 3/4 hasbro figure.
 

Disarmed and completely rebuilt again, it has more than 100 new scratch pieces, including full cut of the figure for repositioning the body, and dozens of small pieces for more detail.
The carrion bird (steelpecker), was made from Epoxy and wire, covered with fibers. (video)

 

Also and to give it a touch of vividness, the speeder engines have 2x5mm red LEDs. The wiring and the battery are housed in the base of wood, especially made for this function.
 

The speeder and fully diorama were painted with Vallejo Acrylics and an Infinity Harder & Steenbeck airbrush.
Cheers!

Aha! I see the top of a Futaba or Airtronics gimbal stick there. Nice touch. I think that's my favorite of all the work you did. All that stowage in the net. I'm not a big fan of TFA, but a fan of this work for sure!

:yes:
