I went to Target and seen the Star Wars Jedi Force Snowspeeder and thought it would be a great start for an updated McQuarrie concept one man snowspeeder....but I got a WIP for this I plan to put up soon but affraid it might not get finished.


Well I feel like an idiot now the WIP I was working on is actually a Joe Johnson concept not a McQuarrie...so I guess I will miss this one.

For my entry I made the round Landspeeder, yes, it is listed as a Landspeeder, you see outside the Cantina in ANH. It was designed by Ralph McQuarrie and I have wanted one ever since I saw it so many years ago.

Reference shot.




and here she is...the figure is not part of my entry and is simply in the photos to show the scale of the vehicle.

Believe or not, Jules, that leia may be one of my favorites from you. What a jewel!
LE, that speeder turned out fantastic!

Shawn I wanted to, but didn't have the fodder needed. I plan to look for a certain vintage mini rig at c6 to bring this thing to life one day.

Thanks Clint! Good to hear from you buddy!

Holy crap!  That's spectacular Luke Sprywalker!

I don't know why Hasbro can't make that for the deluxe line!

L.E that really is a superb custom. I always wondered what that background item was and you've done a superb job re-creating it.

Such beautiful entries by all of the competitors.

Jules, I love this custom. Always a pleasure to see your talent at work.

L.E., THIS is just another example of you deserving your place on the Customizing Board with Sillof and Sith_Fire30.

I swear, this forum holds the greatest talent on customizing SW toys anywhere. This site is like some talent super magnet.

Thanks for just letting me observe you artists at work.
