ANOTHER 1:1 SCALE LANDSPEEDER

[GEEK1138]

Yep, that's right I'm doing another full size Landspeeder...I actually really enjoyed building the first one and always fancied having another crack at it, so here goes. At some point I would like to make a drivable version but maybe next time
I have the bodyshell all printed and welded together and also got cockpit, engines, flametube, greeblies and windshield former done.
Next is the process of glassing the shell inside and out, and adding an armature for support;

You never stop do you Another great project underway! Eager to see the next updates

 

[userd1402]

You PRINTED that? Wow, how big is your printer? Amazing.

 

[MrV]

So, printed and then glassing? You need to state this otherwise i will be messaging you endlessly.... in a nice way.
Oh for a work space like that..

 

[GEEK1138]

So the bottom half of the bodyshell is glassed, filled, sanded and primed...flipped her over to repeat on the top half

 

[ZeroSum]

Have you done a full sized snowspeeder? If not...

 

[GEEK1138]

Have you done a full sized snowspeeder? If not...

yeh I know...they have a full sized Snowspeeder already

So the cockpit is in and I have started glassing the top half

 

[GEEK1138]

Coming along with the landspeeder...got the bodyshell nearly sanded, the engines fitted and the grilles on...

 

[joberg]

Great job once again mate

 

[GEEK1138]

Nearly there now...painting the under layers on the bodyshell. First the chrome, then the latex masking splotches and scratches, then ready for the primer and when all that's cured, masking tape the pattern and on with the top coats;

Got the cockpit finished too;

 

[GEEK1138]

Ok so apart from the windshield, the landspeeder is done...all the painting, weathering etc. You can see that the original was a Joe Johnson paint job...quite similar technique to Slave 1/Boba Fett helmet...lots of liquid masking, layering and washes

Should have the windshield in a week or so and then off she goes

 

[joberg]

You are A MACHINE Looking very good for sure!!

 

[13doctorwho]

Incredible work, as always. Most impressive

 

[Snow Builder]

Beautiful! Another great build.

 

[GEEK1138]

OK done. Quick shout out to Project Plastics, near Colchester UK...really friendly and helpful, and did a great job on the windshield. All packed up and off to Outpost One now.

 

[13doctorwho]

Lovely!!

 

[Krats]

Wow, that looks fantastic!

 

[joberg]

Well, no need to put it on the boat mate; this could float with motors in the side engines I kid; great workmanship once again Outpost One has found the perfect Artist to make all of those models!!
