I have been wanting to do a scratch for over a year now but it has always seemed impossible to start. I have tried small things in the past but always backed off when it looked like SH**, I have been looking through all the amazing threads by Lee, Julien, Michael, Al, Rich, Neil, Matt, Jason, Rob, Lasse & every one else & at last I got of my arse & started.
It took me a while to work out what to do as it had to be quite simple to start with, Neil suggested a DS laser canon & I was going to do that then I spotted a pic in The Art of Empire book, there is around 3 small pics of concept paintings that RM did with snowspeeders in them, each slightly different. I've decided to make a variant on all these pics.
I've been trying to draw plans for a few days but it just seems to get harder when I tried to map it out. I decided the size of the front section & just went from there in the end. I started this yesterday & am pretty pleased so far.
The front end is the same width as a piece of A4 paper so you get a sense of the scale.
Already I've learned how not to do stuff & given this task again would've done it differently. Its a bit wonky here & there and made from ABS & styrene so far. I was going to just add black glass to the windows as its very scruffy inside but may try to clean it up & detail the interior at some point????
Pics are from my phone so a bit naff, sorry
Dont be too harsh on me?
