Here's some more photos of what the speeder looks like today. I have a few days off so I hope to finish it off pretty soon.
The idea I had for this custom was for a Star Wars wasteland wanderer, a la "Mad Max." But much more George Lucas and less George Miller. So I picked a color scheme of one of the cool 1970's police cars from the first Mad Max film.
Rather than just copy the red/yellow/blue scheme (which would be cool!) - I got creative and made more of a sand junker.
I wanted to make it really pop and be colorful, and then later on I will weather it down to make it look all beat up.
The cockpit was pretty easy, and really fun to do. I really want to get my panel making better, it's really fun. I still have to make two screens there and add a center console piece that I finished today.
The open panel engine was an issue. At first I wanted to make both the side engines match, covered, but then after trying to first add a styrene cover, and then trying add a new one on, I gave up and painted it a bit.
The extra weight of the engines makes the back rub the ground, but oh well.
There's still a lot of work to do!
Here's a WIP of the driver.
The droid I'll start after one or the other is done.
