Sounds good Clint, I can't wait to see what you cook up!

Doc, true, so true. haha


I have worked on my swoop bike in 3 seperate 30 minute segments. There are not that mods to this, added the handle bars removed the green blast effect then added a greeblie to the back to beef it up, cut off the foot styrups on each side along with a push button that would spin the blast effect. Then a coat of flat black...

Tamer couldn't you see your AT-AT gunner stickin out the top of Tom's vehicle? Tom it really has a classic look and feel to it. I would add a few backpacks to the sides, a radar or some type of sensor array to the top, some tools maybee. Give it a lived in look I guess. Figure out where this design would be used, I see it in an uneven, rocky environment. I like the classic Imperial gray and the treads are just a bit darker so it works just like it is. I could also see it tan with a womp rat on the side or something like that.


Yepper, I think my gunner would feel right at home in this. I like  it much better this way. I would love to see a graphic on the side like you mentioned or an imperial symbol.

That is a good looking speeder so far, Spry. Your work never fails to impress and I can already tell that we are going to see some cool entries in this contest.

Thanks Spud and Clint! I just got off work and plan to put the finishing touches on her over the next hour. I am going for a hot rod type of look with this one.

LE it's amazing what a coat of paint can do for a vehicle. That speeder already looks 10x better.

Thanks Tom, It looks even better now, I just finished the spray paint and have a little more drybrushing to do. Might have some final pics later tonight. Any progress on that crawler Tom?

Just writing down ideas on paper the last two days. I will work on it physically Wednesday and Thursday. Those are my days off from work. I might add that mini-gun Clint is sending me. Hopefully I will get it soon.

That looks unreal. I finally had a little bit of luck and came across a good idea from an old toy of my brothers. Might have a little play this arvo
