Snowspeeder Under Construction

[anthony14rmg]

Hello

This is my first post here. I have been working on Fine Molds Snowspeeder for the last few weeks. I really like this kit and hope to finish soon. I am about half way done weathering and plan on getting some more done this weekend. I am going for a older and dirty speeder.

Any comments are welcome

Welcome to the forums! Thanks for registering. Snowsppeder is looking really cool. With the airbrake open, it would look cool on the base in a hard bank (turn). Looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you all for the comments.
I had a few hours this morning to do some more work on the speeder. I painted on a few of the markings and did a little more weathering. I need to clean up some of the over spray then tackle the engines and the crew area.

Scott, the hard turn is a great idea, I will try it. Also planning on adding some snow to the base.

Here are a few more updated shots, I hope you all like them

Very nice build indeed. Yep, your weathering is just right. Love this model; it was one of my favourites back when I was in Star Wars mode.

Mmmm, going to need a bigger man cave me thinks. I might have to build one of those now. ;D

Nice job!
Can't help admitting the weathering, as for my building process it constantly becomes a point of doubts. It always seems that I do too mutch of weathering, or too litle, but here is what I would call a "golden middle"

Yeah good weathering is really hard to do. It's like making yourself a pizza. You really have to tame your self, otherweise you put too much on it and it will be a mess.

 

[Grendels]

I agree, weathering is a fine art. I see a lot of photos where the streaking has been over done. It needs to be subtle, and not in your face. Great job with this one, in my opinion, you got the weathering just right.

Hah, yeah! That's a really exact comparison ;D

Thanks for all the comments. I am in the middle of moving back to California from Texas. I hope to have some more photos of the completed model in a few weeks.

Thanks again

Haha cool! AKE is down here with us too. I should see who else is. I know someone is over the county in San Bernadine. We should all meet up... and have a rumble! I'm bringing the bats.
