man that is cryptic.... lol  i can't figure out what you have going on except that one part from the normal speeder bike's fron end and a bunch of giant guns!

[narceron]

is that the polar battle bear, or whatever that snow mobile was called?

I really can't wait to see the turn out on this one,

[StenHunter]

is that the polar battle bear, or whatever that snow mobile was called?

 Maybe

I also have this coming in the mail...  It should make a pretty sweet speeder =)

[narceron]

The stellar stiletto, I actually have a WIP for a landspeeder based on that, lol.

[DocOutlands]

I *ALMOST* bid on one of those Stilletos for this competition!!  Boy, am I glad I *didn't*!!!

[spudafett]

sten hunter, that's going to make a great speeder! 

hey guys... we should all devote one of our speeders to make a "shipyards gang" where they all have matching color schemes.  I've done all my bikes in a black with red accent scheme, but it could be different of course.  more imperial maybe?  black and grey? or white and dark grey?  IDK just an idea I had as something that we could all combine together and make a fleet of bikes that looked like they could be in the same big group.

heres another very unrevealing wip shot for you guys to drool over... or scratch your heads about from me:

Interesting head scratcher thats for sure.

Awesome idea about having speeders in the same colors. You guys could get together and have an Imperial Shipyards major dio set.  Wouldn't that be awesome for something like Cfive or SDCC or NYCC.

[StenHunter]

I'm in, though I haven't decided on a theme yet.. I am either going to go military, rusted junker, or sleek rich kid....but I LOVE red.. so it will have red accents for sure

[spudafett]

hey for a convention we could mail the bikes to someone who is going for those of us who can't be there, have all the bikes set up in the dio with a card and signature for each one from each unique builder and stuff.  They wouldn't even have to realy match if you wanted to make like a racing scene or something like that!

guys check out the few speeders i posted up in my thread and tell me what you think.  noone has commented on them yet

tehy suxorz
 

but seriously...  I'll pick 'em ap- erm comment on them prolly later this evening.  Trying to get a couple of heads finished so they can hit the international mail by, say, Monday.

[spudafett]

hey guys.... what are your criteria for judging the entries going to be?  stuff like originality, paint apps, uniqueness, etc? 

[Tamer]

Al the above Spudafett!

[Frie-leK SlavE]

I can't wait to see everyones speeders.  I bet they are all awesome. 

[StenHunter]

Man the anticipation is killing me!!
I'm working on two and I just want to show more.. hehehe...
I've got both of them base coat painted, now for all the detail work.

I haven't even started on riders yet Though I've picked my themes..

High Performance Race Speeder

Heavy Assault and Support Speeder

Both base coats came out awesome!! the Race Speeder is a deep cherry red...

[Clonehead]

Sounds like fun, Sten.
A racer, eh?
