Amazing.  I still think that if you engineer it just right you might be able to get some play-room out of that middle section.

I'm thinking you should use some lightweight metal rods for support in the frame.  You can get all-thread at any hardware store that you can the use with a series of nuts to hold things together with...   Just throwing out some ideas.

I can't wait to see how you attach the legs.  That will intrigue me most about this entire build.

By the way, I really appreciate you taking the time to take WIP shots of this build.  It makes it so much better.  I love being able to see a project come together and so many people only post finished product photos online with no WIP shots.  WIP pics makes the entire thing seem even more impressive!

Thanks guys, yes I'll be doing way more inner support beams, as far as play value, it is more of a prop replica showpiece as I'm still trying to make it flow w the 6" toy series, once you do too much detail and weathering it make the figures and surrounding props look unbalanced.this will be so heavy I won't be doing any playing w it, aside from the final diorama, wich will have a Snowspeeder and Luke tossing a bomb in its belly :)

Wow! Unbelievable build, and so fast! Just incredible! I know you're doing this at 6" scale but it would be perfect for 3-3/4"!!!

It's actually in perfect scale w the 6" line,I've gone over so much material of the walker that it's only off by a very unnoticeable percent !

Totally understandable.

So are you going to be making a 6" scale snowspeeder from scratch as well?  Awesome.

I cannot wait to see this in its final form and a crashed snowspeeder with Luke doing the whole belly bomb thing will be priceless.
