By Popular Demand--My (Custom) Snowspeeder
Posted by Klik on Saturday, August 28, 2010 6:02 PM

Since ya'll liked my Custom X-wing so much, and wanted to see my Snowspeeder, here it is. This is the 1/48th scale Finemolds version. It has all the attention to detail and unique decal schemes I have come to expect from Finemolds. Too bad I didn't use the decals...

 

Loved the plain grey so much, I just had to leave it. The Aurebesh sigals on the side read GDF, painted them on there for reasons I cannot fathom.

 

 

Due a gluing glitch, the canopy only opens this far. Good thing no one actually has to get in and out of this thing.

Unfortunatly, those are all the pics I've got right now. Looks better in real life. In fact, these might not even be as current as I thought...maybe I'll have to get some more recent ones...

again, excellent work! From this and the X-wing though, the one thing you need to do is mix up the panel colors. I built that horrid AMT Millennium Falcon and I swear, no more than 2 panels wear the same shade of red or gray (except forr the light grey base coat) I have several shades of gray, light/dark ghost/gull gray, use those, then add black or white to them to change the tones. Brush those on in different panels and it breaks up the expanse of gray plus it makes it look worn, faded, patched-over, and ultimately epic. But honestly, I love your work! IF only I could afford Finemolds kits... I have to deal with AMT/MPC crap. :(
