My Full Size Speeder Bike Replica

[Yutani Exec]

That is amazing - to re-iterate Onkelpsycho it would be cool to see some pics with a 501st scout trooper on it.

Great looking! What was used for references?

I found a basic blueprint printed in some Str Wars book, blew it up to full scale, then looked at photos in other Star Wars books, screen grabs, some pics of the Bike on display, etc. Taking all these pics, I then tweeked my full-sized blueprints to be more accurate to the actual bike prop.

I saw the real deal at the very 1st Art of Star Wars tour ( hidden in one of the Street-side window displays ) & yours is a Very close match. Even LucasFilm would be hard pressed to tell the difference between theirs & yours.
Well Done!

Amazing project and build scale !

 

[MrRetsej]

Daaaaang! How much does that beast weigh?

 

[Stormy320]

How long did it take to build it?

$700 - that's amazing.

The bracket that attaches the front fins looks very accurate. Did you machine it?

 

[Hollowpond]

Love it !!

Super cool. Put it on a motorcycle frame and ride it to the Sturgis Rally. It starts Monday, so get with it.

Agreed--make a cycle out of it!

Basic shape was water-cut, then I put it on a mill and cut some channel details into it.

Daaaaang! How much does that beast weigh?

2 people can lift it with no problem - 2 big strong people... :cool

 

[yodaawilson]

what was the total cost and could you please layout the parts you used. Like 2 poles from lowes, etc.
I want to build one, but I need to know the basics.
Awesome build plus it looks great!!!!!!!

Beautiful work! It'd go nicely with my scout suit.

Mount it on an adjusted motorcycle frame and off you go! How epic would it be to fly down the highway on one of those...

best idea! haha

Now this is just unadulteratedly cool. Fantastic job - and it looks real accurate, to boot.
