Woot!

So Ed fill me in here, is this what Luke is talking about when the med droid asks him about the ongoing loadup of equipment as the Walkers move in with the ground assualt teams?

Luke comments [and this is from memory folks so I may be off a bit]

"No, just leave the T-47s and the other heavy equipment behind" I wonder if this was their plan, ditch the speeders and E&E with the snub fighters.

Nice work!

If my memory serves as well, they would try to load the speeders as soon as they were finished stalling the AT-AT's. However, I think that time was too short and they got left behind. And thus, they escaped with the X-wings. Pretty much what TD4438 said.

Thanks.This was my first attempt at using weathering powders.The guns,exhausts,and the big louver are weathered with silver paint.The rest of the fuselage is Tamiya gunmetal powder.I really like the effect.
