ALS (Atmospheric Land Speeder) Mk II Pod

ti · August 23, 2015, 02:14:23 AM

OK guys and gals. This is my first SF model. I have always been interested in SF models but military modeling has always been my first love. But this time I wanted to try something different and decided to go for it with both feet in. So I decided I wanted to make my first entry into the Sci-Fi arena, a Hover craft. I had three versions of hover bike that will be building. This one you see here is the first of the three. I called this one ALS(Atmospheric Land Speeder). I wanted something rugged, weathered, beaten up, Bad-donkey and interesting to look upon. I loved the Star Wars version, both old and the new version.

Someone had scratch built the new Star Wars land speeder which took my breath away. So I decided to scratch built mine in order to get the look and feel of what I was aiming for. The build is partly scratch and modified using parts from different other kits. I also used materials like electrical sockets, old astma powder holders and bits and pieces of misc. materials that fit the bill. The result is what you see before you. I had no major plans or drawings but I knew how I wanted it to look in my head. So bit by bit I just tried different materials to see how'd it look, then just glued it in place. Hope you all like the results.

Very good indeed - that'd fit right into a Star Wars movie.

Well, I could have put them all under one post but thought they deserved their own thread.
