Ever look back at something you did and say, "Hey, that's pretty cool! But it could be better!"

With great pleasure, I present my custom UCS Snowspeeder, version 2.5.

Prior versions


I think that, for the most part, I got the original Snowspeeder's shape pretty accurate, as well as most of major details. Version 2.0 spruced it up a bit, visually, and drastically improved the cockpit. Version 2.5 features the new front assembly, and a few other minor tweaks.


In version 2.0, I added a lot more detail, as well as more black and dark grey to raise contrast. In version 2.5, I undid some of that, favoring a slightly more accurate look.


The clear canopy looks a lot more Star-Warsy than the light blue one. It's now a bit shorter, to allow room for the new front assembly.


The orange highlights are also more correct and more attractive than the red I had there at first. I was going to brass-o those Sebulba slopes, but I sorta like the way they look with the printing on.


But obviously the big story with version 2.5 is the new front assmebly. Oddly enough I came up with this while trying to see how my model would look if I built the front more like the official set!
