Mindmax Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi, still not ready with the first one I wanted to build a second Snowspeeder, this time with open panels. Then I can make a version with red markings and one with grey markings. First steps are made: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Smeg Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) This is just getting too good for words, we get a build thread for a scratch build of a snow speeder; I’m going to need to get my chair pulled up for this one.

Mindmax Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Yesterday and today I have made further parts which still need to be filled with more putty and sanded down accordingly. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindmax Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) Here something I have already built but unfortunately with two millimeter styrene plates. But it need to be three millimeters. It looks to thin in my view. Edited May 4, 2018 by Mindmax 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sithman Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 This is a VERY nice build! I decided to start scratchbuilding a 1/12th scale one figuring, "it's all straights and angles!....how hard could it be?" It is still to this day sitting in the closet of doom! Nice to see someone who has the taelnt to put these deceptively hard vehicles together! GREAT WORK! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindmax Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Nothing new so far, only a size comparison between my first 1:10 Snowspeeder (which is obviously still not finished) and a sixth scale figure from Sideshow: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Rose Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 This is precisely the kind of masterful styrene work I would dearly love to be able to replicate, but even scratchbuilding simple boxes are a challenge for me! A beautiful piece of work that is a sheer joy to see come together, I love those detailed open panels! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
