Always a big fan of models build on concept scetches. You done an awsome job on it. Love the color scheme.

 

[Jimmer]

Excellent job, love it !

Aaand done! I think it's my quickest build yet, only 2 years. I'm not totally happy with the final product, I wish I would have used a lighter grey and the weathering feels a little heavy to me but overall I'm happy with it.
One thing I forgot to mention, I used Archive-X paints exclusively. It was my first time using them and I have to say they are my new favorite paint. They spray really well and are very durable. Thank you Guy for making these great paints.

Wow, very cool project. Nice work! I like seeing Johnston's extra designs coming to life as models! I really hope Joe Johnston get's a chance to direct a SW Feature Film, soon. His art direction and design aesthetic are such a core part of SW. Joe's highly qualified and I think he's earned the right to direct a SW film before he retires.

Its funny, I think you and I had the same thought when seeing star wars back in 77. "I want to do that!"

So did you do your initial 3d model in Rhino?

 

[swgeek]

It's funny how many of my co-workers have the same story.

For a lot of my projects lately I'll design in Rhino just to figure things out spatially, even if I scratch build the whole thing. For the speeder, 99.99999% of it is modeled in Rhino, 3D printed, molded and then all the parts were cast in urethane resin.

Indeed.

Yeah Rhino is my main tool. Ive been using it since version 1 but really started using as a tool for my job when V2 came out. I introduced it to NDS back in 2003 I think it was and we used it there for many projects. Since 2012 Ive used it for set design, vehicle design and props. Its pretty much my core software .

 

[minieffects]

Oh and beautiful work on the snow speeder. That design is my favorite. I actually prefer it over the one they ended up going with.

 

[swgeek]

Thank you! Yeah it's a great design.

I've been using Rhino since 2010, I think. I'm okay at it, but I keep trying to get better. I used to work with a friend who went on to doing set design. She would always help me out with my Rhino skills.
