Hi guys,

I admit it. The statement isn't entirely true. You need a box of scouts AND a box of a landspeeder storm.

First things first. I was planning to use a landspeeder in one of my lists, but I do not like the look of it. It's just too small for my taste.
So I made plans to convert a landspeeder storm into and regular landspeeder. This left me with a whole bunch of scout parts, which is quite handy because I was planning to build me some scouts anyway.
Two flies with one clap.

Now I just needed to buy me a box of scouts to try to make the parts of the landspeeder crew work.

Well.... And this is what I have come up with.
Hope you like them. I have the bits and pieces to build four more.

I think this is a quite effective kitbash if you are planning to build landspeeders + scouts, because you can get a lot out of them, and they look quite cool.

They are obviously WIP. A lot of gap filling/filing and painting is needed.

(The heads are fro Pig Iron Studios btw. Regular scout heads are aweful)

Looking very dynamic!

Hmm, nice idea, and I love your models, the pig-iron heads work well on them! Would love to see them painted

More of them.
Gap filling, filing and basing still to come.

they look really good I really like the positioning on "guy 2"

Thanks Gonzo.
He needed the most cutting and modelling. ^^
Good to hear that it was worth it.

But for now.
Some pictures of the landspeeder.
Since BA aren't allowed to use the actual landspeeder storm I closed the doors and built me a regular speeder. It's bigger than a regular one but that is perfectly fine with me since I think the size and appearence of the regular speeder is quite stupid.

There is obviously still a lot to do (Liquid greenstuff will be used extensively ^^).
What do you think so far?

These are some pretty slick conversions. I like the landspeeder alot. Are you planning to paint the windows as glass? Or maybe add vision slots?

I haven't decided yet. First idea was to paint it like glass, but I'm not sure if I'm able to pull it off well. ^^
