I just finished this old MPC/AMC-ERTL Speeder bike and scout trooper build for the star wars group build. Compared to what Ive seen of the Bandai kit, this one is rough! But I'm not one of those "rivet counting-seam destroyer" guys, and really only removed the seams that would be visible in the finished model.
Return of the Jedi Speeder Bike build...finished by Justin Ryan, on Flickr
The base is make from a decades old slice from a walnut tree that my mom found in the back of her closet a few years back. It is roughly three inches thick. I covered it with celluclay to begin the groundwork. The fallen log is an actual broken branch from the peach tree in my backyard. I think I want to remove the tall grass shoots and replace them with some forest dwelling ferns.....

Mortal as I am,I know that I am born for a day. But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the Earth...
That is way too cool. Fantastic!

Good work Justin. I was planning to buy the Bandaï model and do what you have done with the wooden base. It's a very good idea.
There are peaches in Pa?. Nice speeder bike sir.
we're modelers it's what we do
armornut There are peaches in Pa?. Nice speeder bike sir.
despite all my effort, no there aren't... I have resigned myself to believI got that it is a tree whose ancestors once bore peaches....
lol
Thanks everyone for the compliments!
LOL, even if there aren't peaches in Pa., you still have a very cool model. Don't feel to bad, I'm from Idaho and live in Washington, can't grow potatoes or apples.
