Snowspeeder Studio Scale Project

Can somebody please help me out & scan the pics of the studio scale Snowspeeder model in the Star Wars Chronicles, The Art of The Empire Strikes Back.

Im looking for a good front on, side rear, top bottom shots to start a set of plans.

Thanks
Nathan

 

Don't tell me you plan to build this thing! I actually had plans to scratch build one after I finished the walker, but it seems that the CC X and SP Tie is getting in the way.

Ohhh yes!!!!

I want to do the 32" Falcon but i recon making that as my first scartch built would be a huge undertaking so i want to start on something alittle smaller first.

Im going to build it in 3d first to prove it works thats why i need the scans.

I have a few hi-res pics from the MoM in Brooklyn. e-mail me and I'll send them over to you. - you need a decent size "in-box"

Here are the first pics of the plans ive been working on of the studio scale Snowspeeder.

The top half looks pretty good so far, just got to puzzle out the bottom half now.

Cool...Very Cool...

 

...

 

Looks good from above, and the basic 3D models are looking good, but the real detail and pain of the SS is getting the underbody right... the vent and panel work is a little intricate. Easy to cut and thankfully angular, but it will be a bit tricky. Have you modeled that yet?

 

It definitely is a pretty cool model but as far as accuracy goes... sorry. Well it does not match my reference pics... of course there were a good number of these made, and based on how different supposedly "the same" AT-ATs were I would expect the snowspeeders to vary a good bit from model to model. Its still very cool though,...want to sell it

Hi natty15d...


Are you still working in the snowspeeder?
My currently project is this ship, also! But I'm having a lot of problems with my plans! Big part of my drawings are finished.
Your drawings looks great!
I would like to talk with you about...

Anything happening here, i have one in embryonic stage, would like to know if anyones building?

 

Funny,.. I had actually built, what turns out to have been about Studio Scale, a cardboard Snowspeeder when the Empire Sketchbook was released back in the day. It only had the front and back views in it along with other concpet art using the front of the Y-Wing as the basic shape. Ahhhh memories.

I would love to hear an update of this as well. Guess the pics were removed for copyright?

 

I dunno...

This thread was abandoned over 3 years ago... Cool subject, though.

Ralphee? Pics??

 

OMG..... I didn't even look at the date. :confused LOLOLOLOL.

 

Like i said Bob, early days lol, it maybe looks like * to you buddy, but im hopeful she'll pan out once i get other projects off the bench.....lee

^ On the contrary. Looks like a GREAT start to me.

 

Well thank you sir, i intend to get back to it soon, the underside takes some figuring but once i get that nailed i can carry on with gun boxes and repulsors etc, figuring the cockpit tub depth was a pain, then i found some ref showing the pilots were just torsos that the armature passed through. Took a lot of head scratching though lol. Hoping to fit servos in the flap/engine box assemblies, then rig them to my KO tranny for some working prop action lol.

 

^ That'll REALLY be something.

I've always liked the T-47.

Ralphee.... that is awesome... I would love to see that finished.

 

Me too Kurt lol, thing is i live to paint, i so lose interest in building a lot of the time, but i just have to see this one out.

 

^ You know...I really enjoy the painting and the WEATHERING myself, too.

I just keep in mind that if I don't take the time to build it first, then painting it will NEVER happen. That seems to work for me.

More or less...

Sometimes...

I guess...

 

Looks nice .. Thats one build I would not mind tackling.

So what is the book in the background?

Its the SW to Indy lucasfilm archives JP, not a bad little book.

Agreed...very nice book.

 

Oh ok....just never saw that cover. I have the Japanese and the English reissue. Its the same book yes?

 

As far as i know JP, its just an over sleeve cover, the actual cover is just black.
