Having been forced kicking and screaming into this SiG by Scott I had to decide on what to do as I have never built sci fi kits before. As I've heard good things about Bandai I decided to go initially for the snowspeeder and AT-ST in 1:144 and then if I liked it I could progress. :scratch::

I liked it :jd: :jd:

So ath the moment where are we? Bandai please start building tank lits is all I can say, the engineering and detail is amazing, its designed to clip together and does exactly that and I am now awaiting the delivery of the now obvious bits, the AT-AT! That explains why it has to be Wedges speeder with the orange flashes, Lukes doesn't have them! :crazy:

Image

4 sprues are in this box, 2 for each kit
Image

Image

There is a base and stickers, the instructions are on the bottom of the lid

Image

they all go together very easily :dance:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

As I need the speeder in flight I trimmed the base of the stand arm to fit the hole, everything was then primed in Ultimate black and coated with RAF greys from AK Real colors

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I then managed to find a bit of wire that was thick enough to support the speeders weight

Image

and did a bit of dry brushing as well as a quick varnish and panel line on the AT-ST

Image

Just awaiting the next delivery now! :eeek:

thanks for looking and many thanks again to Scott for putting himself through this after the brilliant Bomber Sig last year! :bow:: :bow:: :bow:: :bow::

cheers

not quite finished yet but only lacking some leg panels and the cheek blasters! really good to build, I cant say too often that I've been blown away by Bandaii's engineering!

cheers

Gotta give great credit to Bandai, they make fabulous kits so easy and quick to assemble often without a stitch of cement
This looks very good mate and you have had more fun than you expected!!!

Looking very good. I really fancy an AT-AT myself.
