[ MOC] Mandalorian Land-Speeder W/75267 minifigs

[r5-j2]

I just got the Mandolorian battle pack and decided to try and put together a speeder that could look o.k. for carrying these dudes (and dudettes?) around. The engine pod is a net flinger from the Batman mech/Gorilla Grod set.The side direction thrusters came off a helicopter set as did the long blade pieces that are on either side. I may get my spray paints out and do these blade pieces in silver (which is sort of cheating, but I did this on the wheel trims and scoop of my Fast`n`Furious Dodge Charger and it looked pretty o.k.)

I love this battle pack and hope we some more like this; a 501st Clone trooper pack would be great, now that Clone Wars series 7 is due out this month!

Neat little speeder, which funnily enough bares an uncanny resemblance to the actual Mandalorian Speeder released from the Clone Wars. Was the retail model an influence?

Thanks Daddy_Stardust;--I honestly didn`t know about this set. My local Asda was knocking out the bounty hunters battle pack on sale  last year for £2.99 and I started to think about maybe doing a speeder for them, but when the Mandalorian battle pack appeared, I actually built it and they got it instead.

Take care

P.S. I now need to get me a couple of those Mando Super-commandos, their helmet design is really cool...which series of the Clone Wars did they appear in?
