                        Well.... after being in a modeling slump for the past couple months I've finally been able to finish one! I painted the canopy with chrome tinted with blue. I kinda wanted something to look like it would protect the crew from those harmful UV rays LOL. I'll use Blue Blockers on the crew for the next one.

                        I love the idea of a "Sand Speeder" since these are traditional "Snow Speaders". It would be cool if you put US Marines markings on them. LOL

                        Looks great! Thumbs Up [tup]Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Great looking model. The sandspeeder concept is pretty cool!

                        Nice job! I had the same idea for an ED 209 kit, but never finished it. Nice wash too.

                        Very nice.  A unique idea to be sure.

                        That would be one cool model, you got to finish soon and get the pics on here.Thumbs Up [tup]

                        And the Sand Speeder is pretty cool too, novel idea.

                        Love your idea and how it came out!   Great job.

                        You may even want to add some shiny silver all along the front edges to simulate additional wear from flying through wind-blown sand.  The abrasion on the paint must have been murder!
