Wip: 1:1 landspeeder build

I was a jet engine specialist in the Navy for about 15 years and I must say that the engine does look like a jet engine with the flanges for each compressor and rotor stages. Really authentic IMHO!
 
This landspeeder ,as well as the other that was documented on here ,are simply breathtaking!! It has got to be what I consider the ultimate Star Wars "prop". One that can be displayed and driven is what puts the landspeeder over the top. Your attention to detail and lightspeed build capabilities are nothing short of awesome!

Can't wait to see you cruising in it:cool
 
Wonderful job!!!

Hard to believe that is OTS paint, it is looks spot on to what I used...Great find.

And HUGE kudos for the speed of your build. I know what it takes to work on these, and you are flying through it...

I thought you might like to see the construction of the film prop.
It's a pine and ply base with sheet metal and fiberglass. See the James Bond car under the table..
 
Where are the R2 & 3PO units that go on the back?

;)

Well I finished my Static R2 before I started the Speeder, he was made to go on the Back, super light all Styrene and resin, here he is and my fully remote R2 unit. I made more progress today finished the seat pads, and starting on that dash panel tonight!! Moving right along.
Thanks everyone for the great comments, really gets me motivated!!!!
