THE MODEL:
The Ice Speeder was designed as if it were used on Planets consisitng mainly of snow and ice surfaces.
SCALE:
The model is built to a scale of 1/32"
CONSTRUCTION:
The model was made from a Japanese kit that I modified extensively. The engines on the sides came from another Japanese kit. I added a lot of detail from sheet styrene, assorted kit parts, brass tubing, Lite Brite tips, and other items. The figure was made from a 1/32 scale military figure (Tamiya). I sculpted a new head from 2 part epoxy, and changed the pose. The face shield, wind screen, and engine fronts were made from Theatrical Gels for movie lights. The antenna was made from stretched plastic sprue. I painted the model with Poly S paints. The details were painted by hand with Testors, and Floquil paints. I weathered the model slightly using pastel chalks and Poly S paints.
