Scott's Speeder Bike

[adampolo13]

Sounds good Scott! I'm really enjoying following this build.

P.s. did you see the link to the AT AT on Evil Bay?

What is this Post doing on Page 2 ???? Up you go !

Can't have this on Page two !!! Too Wicked for that !!!

Hands Up Rebel Scum !

LOL.

Really busy with that spaceship for the student film...back on the speeder soon.

OK, time to wrap this up...well get back towards wrapping it up.

My sculpt ended up being too large, and too heavy so I've scrapped it. Learned alot though.

I'm going with the kit figure now, but saved the boots.

I added detail to the backpack:

And reworked the helmet a bit (kit stock on left, mine on right)

Made a blaster:

As for the bedroll. This is a white Tshirt stained in tea, then coffee. I need to find a really sharp pair of scissors to trim the edge.

What do you think of the texture scale? I'm not sold entirely.

Thanks for reading!

Wicked stuff man. Shame about the custom figure but you'll make/made the kit rider shine anyway. The blaster is AMAZING! great stuff, and the dudes picnic blanket looks fine to me, as you say once cut it will look great. Are you going to darken it anymore though seems a little light at the mo?

 

[Leighbo]

Nice mods even if the sculpted figure didn't work out Scott, looking forward to seeing the finished artical

 

[DERANGEDWOOKIEE]

nice... instead of a t shirt try to use an old bed sheet. its thinner and less fluffy on the cut edges.

 

[Glorfindel]

Everything off but the high heels! Hi Ooooooo!

 

[ModelMakerMike]

;D
Scott.
It looks great. Sorry about your sculpted torso not working out, with my Iron Clad, I had gone down several paths that didn't work out, and I lost hours doing that, but came up with better fixes as an outcome.
Your helmet looks SO Much better. I can't believe how bad the AMT sculpt was.....wait a minute, yes I can. lol
Good schtuff, man!
;D ;D

 

[Junkie]

Thanks guys. Really appreciate the interest. This is becoming fun again...that sculpt kinda wore me down, but now that I see the end is near I'm running.

MJ - yeah, I'll add pigments to the bedroll, it is too light.

Here's a few more pics. The head is attached and neck sculpted. I added wire for the arms and the first layer of Aves as I will be sculpting these completely. Added the 'G' string thing to his undersuit.

As for getting his feet to contact properly...well it's gonna take some CA and a bit of persuasion, however I'll get them to attach.

Amazing sculpting work Scott!!!

 

[schweinhund227]

. Hard to believe after that great sculpt of yours that you are now reverting to the original AMT lower body! :

Find "where" his thighs are rubbing against the seat or the bike fairing which is preventing him from sitting down properly! Cut that away and seat him! at 500 kmph lots of bad things can happen!

Keep up the good work. 'LUCAS'

Looking forward to your next update!

 

[Junkie]

Yeah, my sculpt 'creeped' and was too large. Just didn't look correct. This will do.

Who is this 'LUCAS' you refer too?

 

[schweinhund227]

George whom else? LOL

 

[Junkie]

lol

 

[Rentar1]

Your project is really lookin' great,Scott. Keep it up.

 

[Jaitea]

It certainly is a pity that your sculpt got binned, the modded AMT rider looks the part though, great pose.

[Igard]

Very nice work indeed, Scott. All looking very good, the blaster, the bedroll, the new light-weight sculpt has as good a pose as the old one. I didn't even realise it was different until I read further back.
