This is the first custom vehicle I've done since being back to customizing. I really like the way it turned out...
For those of you who don't know my past work I have a sweet spot for small vehicles. Mainly speeder bikes. I love the fact that they are a predominantly star wars concept and yet are in many other sci-fi genres as well. But more than just the concept, the execution in the model and toy end of things is exceptionally easy. Some of my first custom vehicles were speeder bikes because they are small and as far as the vehicles of star wars go, they are some of the cheaper ones to obtain. AND there can be so many variations!
One of my favorite things to customize when I'm wanting to do a vehicle custom is go out and find a cheap 1:18th scale motorcycle or chopper, usually the die cast ones, and part it out into a sweet looking speeder or swoop bike. This is an easy process and I eventually will be doing several of these to list on e-bay...
this bike below started out as a bike that I was going to sell, but after I completed it I really fell in love with it and I believe I'll keep it.... but I do plan on doing a few more that I'll actually sell before Christmas time (follow the link in my signature to my face-book page and LIKE it, then watch for any e-bay auctions that I put up on there!).
so, without further adoo, here is my latest custom vehicle:
I didn't plan it, but when I was trying to find a figure to "model" the bike for me, my stealth mando's color scheme looked so good with the bike that it really made me want to keep the bike even more, just for that figure...
so guys, what do yall think?
