Worked on trying to mount the front inner blades. Tried to drill holes through the small round rod at the end of the forks...no good so I slipped a brass rod through the gap and pushed in a small ball of metal putty each side and pushed it well in. Now its solid. I think once its painted...

Oh yes my young padawan...I got the book and what a beauty. Bugger to get out of the case though! Fantastic pics, so much to drool over. Will take months to soak up. I hear the Making of Jedi is out oct/nov so looking forward to getting that one too, then I have the set. Again, thanks for the...

The rear is coming along nicely. As the proportions of the speeder bike body seem to be well off, the panniers for instance are too shallow in height, I have decided to fit the bits in as best as possible. The central plate has been remade by layering 2mm styrene sheet - 3 layers and with...

Bobamike, thats kind dude. Glad to hear I am a Trail blazer (:lol) Here's where we are at As a laugh, my first abismal attenpt at riveting therear exhaust flaps! They got very CURLY!. They also got Thrown out! So after a couple of hours with a punch and die set, I now have about 160...

I have been busy but as I am working on lots of bits at the same time, nothing is finished. However the second attempt at the rear flaps is going well and I spent a couple of hours knocking out about 140 tiny rivets with a punch and die set...boring. Now I have to glue them all on... Just got...

Finished the Troopers Detonation box last night. With the weekend looming, I hope to get the body painted brown and the front forks done at a minimum.Might also get the rear built too. I tried to re-build the exhaust flaps. The originals are way too thick, with those huge rivets and made...

Sniper Rifle

Thundergod, will post some better pics of the rifle tomorrow. This evening, I have mostly been working on the front. Fist need to chop the thin arms off the brackets Then took a few mm off the front tube This will bring the whole assembly lower Took a bit of either side of the front...

Awesome work. Will be watching this one all the way. :clap

Not sure of the merits of these shots. The Speeder is in stealth mode. Being all black, not sure how easy it will be to see chamges but I think it should show the linkages and maybe even the rivets added to the side of the lower lip.

Looking for a Cummerbund and pouches for my 12" Hasbro Scout Trooper. Would prefer a custom item, though I guess worst case, an original Hasbro would do. Many Thanks

One thing I am having trouble with, is my Cummerbund. I ( perhaps too hastily ) cut the original off, thinking the one I would build would look better (:cuckoo:) and lo and behold...mine looks cruddy. Anyone make them on the forum? Any help Appreciated. Cheers.

Bit of a problem last night. Was working on the diorama base and trying to drill two 2mm steel pates that I hoped would anchor the figure to the base..but after 30 minutes of trying to drill the first plate I gave that idea up as a crappy idea. Back to the drawing board. I have had another...

Cheers, don't forget to post some pics.

Vegas...go for it. Would be honoured to have inspired someone.

Fantastic work, a real piece of art. Well done :clap:clap:clap

Oh, forgot that before I received the Speeder Bike, I started on the Scout Trooper's Sniper Rifle. Called the APR-10A, its an Advanced Plasma Rifle. I thought the german WW2 machine gun looked good, but did not really think it looked like a sniper rifle, so I built my own. And I also...

Today, been finishing the panniers. I added the curved ends to the cut out. Also, built the linkages with brass and aluminium rods and the mounts fron square section styrene and rod styrene. Thants all for now folks. Working on the nose mounts for the blades and the instrument panel at the...

Vegas, the book is new and still sealed...what are the odds! Got it off ebay too! Just organising shipping within Uk so should be with me in a few days. Cannot wait.
