building my own snowspeeder

[dnalor]

thank you master.

it really looks great (even from nearby)...but you still see that it is paper..but that is because it's papercraft.

i have started with the the part where the harpoon is located..
but it's a tough part with many strange angles...maybe with take 3 i have a good part

 

[Danscrew]

Your model is very cool Dnalor.
Great gob my friend !

When you posted "thank you master", I had to click back to see who had posted before you. Me, Master?, No way Jose!!

 

[dnalor]

You do this longer than me so are a master...

The backpart where the harpoon gun is located is starting to look nice.
i had much trouble to get it correct..
but i think i have it..

 

[dnalor]

ok plating installed..

now starting on the harpoon gun

19801

 

[dnalor]

at te moment i'm building the harpoon gun..

at first it looked like nothing..
but with all the greeble stff on it..it starts to grow...
maybe it becomes a good gun

19914

 

[dnalor]

Ok today made the gun ready and installed him.

it looks nice..maybe th barrel isn't long enough but it looks close.
now i can start wit th two small boxes on each sid.

19.958

 

[dnalor]

So, i think i'm ready.

all the panels details are installed.

now i'm figure-ing out how to display the ship at home.

 

[dnalor]

one snowspeeder ready to ride.

i hope that the speeder will survive to ride home.

 

[dnalor]

This is it.

I have installed the snowspeeder on his spot.
Looking great I only hope that the speeder will stay there.
I have placed it tilted and there comes a lot of weight on the mounting point.

but the view is awesome.

 

[zathros]

When you got the Harpoon right, I thought, "He's finished with!". Excellent, you could probably trade it for a very nice car!! This thread has been a pleasure to read. Superb!

 

[dnalor]

Thanks...
it was a fun build but took to long....

Now i'm building only my Y-wings...
Let see if i can complete those 2.

 

[zathros]

Only because YOU were building it. It went by fast for me, the reader!

Nice build - I started today the same model. Thanks for your pic - I will refer to, if I will not be able to follow the instruction.
Your models are always very big - what is also very cool. Which size are you printing A3?

 

[dnalor]

Ah....I also started with the instructions...but that ended when I began with the wing-parts, and the greebleing..

This snowspeeder I printed it A0 ...that is the largest I can print

I hope you also insert the pilots...it is really an upgrade to the speeder...it looks more life like than a parked speeder!

I will follow your thread..
happy building!

 

[starbuck]

Wow - A0 - I think I would not have the space to park one papercraft in this size in my rooms ;-)
I did not think to create a new thread as your threed can be taken as referece for all future buildings. I think it might make things complicated if too many threads are giving the (mostly) same information - what do you think?

@ pilots - I saw your link - would be great. I will try, but as I have a model printed in A4 - I think the parts are gonna be very small and I doubt that I will be abe to finalize in good quality. We will see.

 

[dnalor]

Place there is always.. for a star wars ship

And there are WAY to less starwars threads here...so your speeder can have one too

and about the pilots there is another link for pilots..i placed one of them in my x-wing..not as detailed.
I can't find the link anymore..

 

[starbuck]

Thanks for feedback - I will follow your advice to enlarge the star wars threats.

@ pilots as mentioned will try. Thanks for the support.

I found 4 rebel pilots in the resource section:
rebel pilot and arc pilot both 1:35 and 1:50 - just for info

 

[dnalor]

for the pilots you only need the upper torso and head..
maybe a little tricky with the scale..
even i think that my pilots a little to small..i think they should be a little bigger.
