discussion T-47 SNOWSPEEDER-'ROGUE SQUADRON'.

[eddiesolo]

Marken Hoss and his rear gunner Dod Gottle take off in their battle scarred and worn T-47 Speeder.

The Empire awaits...



​

This kit was picked up at a Comic-Con I went to, I loved it and figured I could do something really battered-as is the norm for me-it has been AB, weathered using oil washes, filter washes, acrylic Aluminium, blue steel pigments. Damage was done using a drill and knife, overall scratches using a light sandpaper.

That's really nice Si! The weathering makes it look very authentic - I can see it battling the AT-ATs!

Hi Polux, no it was a discontinued old box Revell Snap-tight kit, got it for £10. You are supposed to just snap it together, but it didn't so it was glued-comes prepainted (mottled in places) but I re-painted it then added the battle damage and scars prior to weathering. For the price it was a great and fun build.

And yes...it will be on SFMA...

Hey Si, I missed this one. Nicely weathered and converted mate, it looks just like they do on the screen.
