Title: Custom Swoop Bike
Post by: RC-1136 on October 28, 2019, 09:52:06 PM: So I got sick of the sidecar with my BARC speeder bike not being able to properly seat troopers. As such, I took it apart and used greeblies and fodder to make a Swoop bike.

Post by: Darth More on November 01, 2019, 04:44:58 AM: I agree with Tamer, both vehicles look(ed) great! So you removed the sidecar from the BARC Speeder?
Would you share a picture of both Speeder Bikes next to each other?
I really like the colors you chose for this Swoop Bike! The scratched windshields look realistic, too!
Just an excellent idea to use the sidecar for a completely new vehicle! I also got two of those sidecar speeders in my fodder box...but I haven't decided what to do with them, yet.
Enfys Nest's gang would definitely be one of your customers!
Excellent job on moddin' n paintin'! Much respect for all your work!

Thanks for sharing! I think your squad of Nationalists would like to add this Swoop Bike to their equipment!
I wonder what you got in mind for the next project...

Haha, no worries friend! I'm thinking of adding some engine flares or exhausts. They seem too bland...

Post by: Starchaser on November 19, 2019, 01:01:07 AM: That swoop turned out really well. Great job creating the parts to grow this from a sidecar into its own unique swoop. Really creative!
