lostcarpark Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 At a recent local show, I displayed my Battle of Hoth diorama. I had about 5 imperial speeder bikes on the display that came from various sets over the years. Most of them are based on a big trike piece, and all of them lack detail. I've realised that these didn't really benefit the display, and I want something a bit better for the next time. I think one or two really well designed ones will look a lot better than a squadron of mediocre ones. I present the 74-Z speeder bike: 74-Z speeder bike by James Shields, on Flickr Although it wasn't seen in the Empire Strikes Back, there are several semi-canon sources that suggest they were used on Hoth. It's built for detail rather than robustness, and some of the connections are a little sensitive! James Quote
Ellisss_2 Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Looks fantastic, great job you have captured the details extremely well! Quote

lostcarpark Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 Some more speeder bike builds... 74-Z Speeder Bike by James Shields, on Flickr As well as an Endor version (I had to cheat as the 2x2 corner tiles don't yet exist in brown): And (slightly off-topic), a Classic Space version: The instructions are now available on Rebrickable (click here to find them).
