        Repainted and re-weathered, a different look.

          Made a pilot and have started to paint him. He's not very detailed, and that was on purpose. Now im not sure if the low detail guy works due to the high detail on the ship. Also, This yellow will likely go orange.

            Those are excellent! I'm a big fan of making reference.

              @kylebeaudette brings it to life having the pilot at the helm. Love it.

                Good morning—

                I’m fascinated by your kitbashed speeder and have a quick question for you—

                What model did you use for the main body?

                Thank you in advance for your response...

                Greg

                  For anyone that's interested in learning more about doing this kinda stuff, I highly encourage a look at Adam Savage's TESTED One Day Build video on making a spaceship.

                  One thing I particular love about this is that you're looking at buying super cheap polystyrene sheets and you can literally make anything with about $10 in materials. This one of those things that I wish I had the time to do more of.

                  I really can't wait to see how 3d printing blows this whole thing open as well 🙂

                    This is a great idea! Thank you for sharing it! I also really enjoyed making models when I was 10-11 and I've done some assembliage, so I might just give this a try. I once made a dog from a mop, toy truck and a face mask, all from a dollar store.

                      @gfzen hey thanks. The main body was an apache helicopter, upside down and sawed off at the end.

                        Here's another. This was supposed to be a Star Wars ship. Many stages of building, priming, masking off areas, repainting, and finally adding 'grime'.
