Hi everybody!
I just want to share a project that wedid in Indonesia last year, a life size Snow speeder ship, before Icompletely forgot about the whole process.
For the background, I am from Bandung,Indonesia, and here we got a pretty massive home grown Star Wars clubcalled 'Order 66'. There are two chapters, the Jakarta Motherchapter, and the Bandung chapter.
For the last three years, we hosted ourown Star Wars convention (called ,depending on the city it was hostedon: SWDBDG, Star wars Day Bandung or SWDJKT, Star wars Day Jakarta).It has grown quite large over the year, attracting more than 15000visitors on our 2014 event.
Anywaaaay,
Back in 2013, a couple of us decided“Hey, let's build a real life size spacecraft from the star warsuniverse!”. After some brainstorming, it became apparent that thesmallest craft we can build (but would still make a cool impact)would be a Snow speeder from episode V.
Time was of the essence, since therewas only about one month until the con. How the thing is build isalso a major consideration, since the convention is being held 150kmaway in Jakarta, on the third floor of an expo center, accessibleonly by small freight elevator or a pair of escalator. So it meansthat all the the ship's parts must fit into one medium sized truck!
Oh, and also the cost, since this iscoming out of our own pocket. The goal is to build the whole thingfor under 2000 USD.
The team that volunteer to work on thisproject consist of 5 guys (Myself-Aldo, Malik, Deri, Ucup, andlukman) , but occasionally other members of the club also gave us ahand.
Unfortunately, we didn't do a lot ofbehind the scenes documentation, but I'll share what we have here
