I am so eagerly awaiting your kit I can't explain it. Back when I was MUCH younger, living in Georgia, I built an AMT Snowspeeder with a smoke bomb and a fire cracker in the back of the model. I ran two strands of fishing line about 60 feet off the top rail of my front porch all the way down to the edge of my front yard. I set the speeder on the lines, lit the fuse and let go of the model when smoke started pouring out of the back. Tilting the lines up and down the speeder waived its wing tips, smoke billowing out the back, it hit the grass and stakes at the bottom of the run, sat about 1 second then exploded into a million pieces all over my front yard. I was slack jawed, wide eyed and from that time on the snowspeeder was THE most beautiful ship in my heart from the Star Wars universe. My only regret is not having a camera to actually film my first special effect. I might be exagerating, but it was gorgeous.
I am really looking forward to your kit. And I will NOT be blowing it up! :lol
How's the speeder comming along?
Hi,
Its still moving forward. I'm doing some R&D with Zbrush and having a go at sculpting the pilot heads and the flight helmets. The helmet is done, I'm onto the head now. After that the harpoon gun will be done.
I'm also starting to order materials and clear in the workshop as a prelude to the whole moulding and casting phase. Gulp!
I want to show the pilots, the gun bulkheads and the harpoon gun in the next update.... so you'll have to bear with me a bit!![]()
