Fun way to recycle.

Love how she's going so far. Great work with the gizmology and the paint too!

I just came across this, awesome work! I like all the greeblies, looks like how they used to do it for the movies.

 

Thanks. It is how they did it in the movies. :)

A few years ago I had the chance to observe many of the filming miniatures used in the movies including the podracer Sebulba used. You are definitely on track!

Thanks for that.

31. I decided use another wire that I found in a dumspters. I simply cut both ends to reveal the copper wire inside. Then I measured the distance between the two Electro attachments and made the cut. I also 

wrapped a much smaller wire around the the thicker one. I just thought it would add to the overall look.Then I primed the wires with black charcoal paint and then dried brushed them with silver. 

She turned out awesome Tiking! If you hadn't told me what the parts started as I'd have no idea, great job working everything in there. And the paint looks great too. 

Woooooooooooooooooooooooow!!!

No PanzerIV in space syndrome here . Everything is so well Incorporated and blended it's hard to distinguish what is what.

EXCELLENT!!!

Through and though

Yes, all the parts produced an wonderful composition. 

Thanks for looking guys. Glad  to hear all the parts blended right in.

Tiking! I've never scratch built or kitbashed anything, but have been feeling very inspired to do it soon. Work is busy right now, but I have a long stretch of time coming up this summer and fall and have several kitbashing projects that I am passionate and eager to begin. However, have felt a bit intimidated, being a newbie to this Hobby and in particular to scratch building. But you're WIP shots of this project, and others you have built, really inspire me! The way you break the project down and the way your mind works to build the piece really is a tutorial for me as somebody just stepping into this part of the hobby. It makes me feel like maybe I can do this! Thanks for the inspiration, thanks for the learning, thanks for the guidance. Even though these posts are a couple years old, you are really reaching people with your great work. Looking forward to having some posts of my own later this year. If they come out a fraction as good as some of your work, I will be thrilled. Thanks again!

Uh Uh ! 

 The name of that part is the Fleugen Ting Embrassuresparken . I do like what you are doing . So , Then a personal sub from an F-16 isn't to far out ?

 Are you going to build another so we can see a Pod-Race ?

HaHa! That name could work.. Thanks. I've built about 7 or is it 8 pod/bike anti-gravity vehicles already.

Let's see ;

 How a Gungan sub race ? I know you could pull it off !

...so how come those fancy pants designers wrecking the current Star Wars vehicles cannot do stuff like this?

Your pod racer looks really good, is not derivative (but I immediately know what it's supposed to be), I can't spot any major kit part turned backwards/upside down, and it looks "right".

It's not at all like a hollow core door with one end stripped off, a Hemi scoop on top, and painted blue.  Cough cough.

Well done!

Thanks Peter.

Thank you kindly. I guess time is money and how it comes out, is less of an issue, in the eyes of these Hollywood executives.
