Thanks so much Tamer! An honor for sure!  I'm just finishing up my next speeder, a one-man vehicle I managed to finish pretty fast!

Very nice work on the hot rod speeder! 

The dio scene you put together "sells" the speeder!

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Thanks so much Art deWhill and JediMerc... love your guy's stuff!  JediMerc, I really like that Mara Jade custom you did a while back.  You had a really, really cool Mando in there too!  Really great stuff.  And what more can be said about Art deWhill's artwork?  It's an honor to get compliments from you guys.



Here's one I started two or three weeks ago, pretty much finished up yesterday.   Maybe I'll add to it one day, but I think it came out nice.

This was a really, really cheap one to make, it only cost about US$7-8.  I got the GIJOE vehicle at Marshalls for $5, $2-3 for a roll of tape, and i just used just junk pieces of styrene, half empty spraypaint, and spare model parts for the rest.

BLUE PERSONAL SPEEDER - JULY 2011

He knows better than to speed in town, especially past a customs checkpoint.  And out-of-date identification as well? The tech arrives to for a full cavity search, ending his afternoon in embarrassment.




I really liked the blue of the original toy and wanted to incorporate it somehow.







I didn't too any cockpit detailing this time... i wanted to make sure a variety of aliens could fit inside.




There's a strip down the windscreen so you can see who's inside.



"I don't care what he's doing... pointing fingers won't help you!"




Let's see what he's got in there...



Empty!  They've got to let this one go.






Thanks for looking! Cheers!

Very nice FE. I like it and on the fp.

It must also be nice to see new vintage figures. I am sure envious of those with good stores.

Thanks so much Tamer!

I *wish* there was *one single good store* in my area.   I only got these because they were re-stocking the Times Square TRU when I arrived.  Since TVC Wave 2, I've had to order most of the figures on the internet, from China or Philippines at a mark up.   New Jersey has been historically one of the most scalper-heavy areas on earth since the POTF2 days. What most of you guys are dealing with now is what us folks in New York City and New Jersey have had to deal with pretty steady since 1995...


Anyway on a positive note, I'm going to do some more work on my first diorama, and start a new speeder bike based on the Mandalorian Deluxe Bike from a few months back!
