Hi All,

Here are my usual outdoor pics, I have used an older camera for the shots so hopefully they will look good on your screens.

Recipe.

The Speeder - is from Bandai and built straight out of the box, I seat belts by using strips of cloth elastic and painting them and once dry I glued them inplace. The speeder was painted and weathered using Vallejo paints and chalk pastels.

Figures - are from Tamiya and their 1/48 U.S Navy Pilots, I cut off the Bandai pilots heads and drilled out one and added to the pilot on the right with the head cover on and with the other I just glued it straight onto the other figure. The ground crew was a mix match of different parts from the same kit and the figures were painted and weathered using Vallejo paints.

Base - was cut from high density foam as were the rocks. The ground plating is plasti card as are the blue and yellow crates, I used 1/72 parts to make the large fuel canister at the rear of the speeder and the other items are parts from 1/72, 1/48 kits.

I used a mix of sand and spakfilla with a little amount of PVA/Woodglue and mixed it all together and covered the base. Once dry the base and equipment were painted and weathered using Vallejo paints and pastels chalks.
