Topic: Imperial Shipyards Custom Build-Off contest

sounds cool, Spud. I was wondering if you might whip out one of your scratchbuilt speeders for this contest. Have your wife register to be a member and join the competition. The more the merrrier! Remember to tell her that if she is worried about somebody copying her idea that she might want to hold off on the in production pics but I am itching to see some of your all's work.

I'll get the boy registered.  I'm sure I'll find a way to tie him into Outland Station.  That way, we can post *his* pics in *his* thread!

I started work last night on the my speeder. The parts look cool, I just have to see what it looks like together now. =) Are we posting WIPS? or since this is a contest just having the unveil in a month and a half?

=)

[Clonehead]

I'm leaving that up to you guys. Of you are worried about inspiring the competition with your wip pics, don't post em yet. Of you arnt worried about it, well then by all means, let us see! I have been chomping at the bit wanting to see what you guys have been working on for this contest.

I like to see the contests have the unveiling at the end this way no-other builders are influenced or are swayed or in the worst case, drop out if they don't think they are up to the same levels as others.

Just my opinion

I am working on my swoop, but I did pretty much finish up a rider for it, he's an LBC, mostly.







I'd like to make the segnar logo a bit more punk, like it was just brushed on quickly, but my brush is just too big for that, lol, looks like I just rushed it,



The adoring fan. . .

[spudafett]

man narc, wtf is he looking off at with that laying beneath him!?!?  I am loving that rider though, looks awesome with mutt's jacket.   I've started on both my rider and his bike. can't wait for the reveal!

[Tamer]

looking good Simon! The swoop rider too.

[spudafett]

i don't think my wip pics are going to reveal much... heres a sneak peak:




well I've got it finished finally.  I've got to touch up the paint on my rider in a few spots but other than that I'm very pleased with it.  I can't wait to see yalls.

[DocOutlands]

CAMO???  KOOL!!!  Love the droid-socket too - what are the parts you used to make that?

LOL - I'm envisioning a Formula-One style car...with an astromech copilot!   

[Tamer]

Cool deal Spudafett. I too like the camo color.

[spudafett]

lol yall made my wife happy, that camo bike's the one she was working on.  Mine is in the foreground.  btw that'd have been a great idea to have made an astromech partner.... but that's not what I wound up with.  I did think about making a side car to one and puting a droid in it though. 

also my wife picked up a rise of cobra baroness for her rider today.... she decided she wanted to do a different bike than the camo one.  She started the camo one to show up my camo fighter tank! lol

[DocOutlands]

The Baroness as a biker chick??  Whoaaaaaaaaa....  I'm madly in love with your wife's Muse!!  So, naturally, *my* Muse is screaming "Twi'ilek Biker Chick!!"  Tell your wife her Muse needs a spanking for me, eh?   

Well, I'm in trouble on this one, folks.  I keep finding vehicle parts that look like they'd make really neat swoops and speeders.  I'm afraid I'm going to have to make them all and then pick which one gets entered.  Yeah, I've fallen into the "swoop gang" trap!     I had three solid ideas and a vague fourth and fifth... until just now.  The fourth kinda...solidified.  I mean... a seat strapped to EIGHT ENGINES?!?

[Clonehead]

Ahh, now my curiosity is on fire! You guys are coming up with some cool stuff by the look and sound of things.
Spud, tell your wife that her camp job is just kicking from what I can see from your pic.
I still wonder how many contestants we have building now.

[DocOutlands]

Well, Brendan just showed me one of the more frustrating/intricate parts of his project this morning, so he makes 2 in this house.
