Hello gentlemen.  Tis I, Nev, with scalpel and paintbrush back in hand after a 5 year hiatus.  Here is my just completed Snowspeeder, and it's fair to say I'm very, very happy with this.  As happy as I am with anything I've done.  The Fine Molds kit is a little cracker (and I mean little).  Painted with Artic White from the excellent Hataka "Orange Line" Lacquers and weathered with Flory Wash "grime", Tensocrom "smoke" and a little bit of oils.


















You know how I said it was small?  Here it is on top of a YF-23 in the same scale....

Welcome back Nev  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Neat work mate

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Welcome back Nev - nice to see you!  :thumbsup:

That looks excellent: straight out of the movie.  :thumbsup:

The smallness of sci-fi craft has been noted before. One of these decades I'll get around to my 'realistic' Angel Interceptor....

Good to have you back, Nev! :party:  :party:  :party: Nice 'speeder!   :thumbsup:

Hmmmm, chop off the YF-23's cockpit and attach the Snowspeeder as the new cockpit?  :wacko:
Cheers,
Moritz

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Lovely build Nev, good to see you back.  :thumbsup:

Sticking around?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Nevster ! Great to 'see' you back ! Cheers my friend.

The little snow speeder looks awesome ! Great job on that one. Probably my favourite craft from the series. I have a bunch of part-built Bandai ones, that will be in a production line diorama on the planet Hoth.

PS- Go wings  ;D
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

Long Live the Commonwealth !!!
