[dr_spock]

I tried to clone Anakin's airspeeder for the Attack of the Clones community build.

UPDATE:

Interesting...the overall shape is nice, but you should really work on the colors, and replace the Qui-Gon minifig.

[Mr Man]

My only concern is it doesn't look wide enough for 2 figs, nice use of parts. Oh didn't the speeder have green on as well as yellow?

[dr_spock]

Thanks. My wife pointed out that Qui-Gon was not in Episode 2 too. Do you have any suggestions for colors?

[prateek]

According to this, you would need some lime green, and dk. orange/brown would really help as well.

[dr_spock]

Thanks Prateek.

Those curves are difficult. I searched my collection and I do not have Anakin or Obi-Wan minifig.

[Si-MOCs]

Thanks. My wife pointed out that Qui-Gon was not in Episode 2 too.

you need your wife to tell you that?

I really like Version two - it's really nice. I can totally hear the ZVROOOOMOMM engine noises in my head

[JackJonespaw]

I like your updated version, but I feel that it's not long enough. Try expanding the length of the front end. You also might be able to add some more detail in.

[Walter]

I'd echo what some of the others said. But still, it's turning out to be a lovely little speeder!

Keep at it, I want to see this upgraded to another version.

[Dapper-D2]

I really like your updates, but it’s starting to look to much like the one I’m making. So stop it! Just kidding! Great work!

[Mr Man]

Haha, the new version needs to be a little longer now to balance the widening.

[The Blue Brick]

I think it is looking great, but I do agree you could make it longer.

Also you don't have an Anakin or Obi Wan figure.

[dr_spock]

Thanks guys for the feedback.

I made a couple more updates. I lengthen it a bit and added some more details. This version has a cup holder for the Lego coffee. I don't have yellow 3x4 slopes so I tried some green ones to see if the shape works. I think the shorter chibi version is cuter. I have a May the 4th (be with you) event next week. Not sure which version the little kids will find more interesting.

Please excuse the fake Anakin and Obi-wan. I really don't have them in my SW collection which is mostly original triology.

[JackJonespaw]

Hm...I think that you could use a 1x8 yellow slope, then add tiles for the other 1x8 stud length. On that part, you could do a 1x1 Yellow tile, a 2x1 Green tile, a 2x1 Yellow tile, a 2x1 green tile, and a yellow 1x1 tile. That should work out.

[Mr Man]

I looks much better now dr_spock . Though another windshield piece in the middle would be good.

[Legostein]

Hello!

It's getteing better and more accurate with each version! Nice to see the progress.

Cheers,

Hm...I think that you could use a 1x8 yellow slope...

1x8 slope

I would think you mean 8 1x1 yellow slopes...

[dr_spock]

I went back to the 2x8 yellow slope. I found 2 lime green 1x1 cheese slopes. They seem to work for the side mirrors.
