Hi,

Few months ago, I built a Snowspeeder that I used in this diorama http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=70941&hl=

Looking that old post, I wasn´t totally agree with the moc, so I rebuilt this one, in a bigger scale. I´m very glad with the final model, with the new colours and it´s more close to the real one.

A couple of "artistic" shots:

Right now, the model has nothing as cockpit, it´s totally empty, but I´m working on this.

Nice work, very well detailed :thumbup:

However better photos would give a better impression

Hi,

I have taken new pics and built a cockpit:

Nice, where did you get those 2 black handles in the last pic from though? (I'm new to Lego so pardon my ignorance lol)

It´s in a lot of sets. I can´t say you from where they come, but here you have a list:

That handle is very common.

Ok so basically every scooter/jetski thing ever uses it ... thanks!

Hi hachiroku! I think this snowspeeder is a good-looking build. I like both the black fins at the rear and the snub nose at the front. The canopy, however, has struts that are a little "chunky". Without too much work, as I see you have this piece (or something similar) on the roof already, you could replace the 1x3 tiles with flex tubing in conjunction with clips or minifig hands. You could perhaps even use black friction pins to give the struts a little more bulk.

To see an example of a canopy built from flex tubing and clips, try this Ju88 by Fuppylodders.

Great job on the snowspeeder!

jamesn, that´s interesting. The 1x3 tiles are one of the things that I want to change. They are really big, but it´s keeping together all the canopy´s sides, if you see. The tubes that are you saying, I don´t have them, but it´s a good idea to work about.
