haha, no I think you're right.

I've been inspired to sculpt some robed bodies though - they can be tweak for all sorts then.

Yep, robes can be pretty generic.
I look forward to seeing the outcome.

I have decided to move this post about the landspeeder over here as it fits in well enough and it will be easier to update one thread rather than two.
 ;)

When the Force Awakens came out I grabbed a couple of the Disney die-cast Speeders as they are perfect for 28mm gaming with very little effort....



I wanted to make a transport vehicle for the Baronial Troops for my Outland setting.
As I wanted all the figures to be standing in this vehicle, I pulled out the seats and headrests and then removed the gun to make more room.
This was really easy as the are just 'plugged in'. A quick pull with a pair of pliers and out they came.

I gave the vehicle a quick drybrush to help with later painting and added a few green stuff details to help change the look to something a little more 'retro'. and hopefully less 'Star Wars'....




A Baronial Guard would become a driver by the simple expedient of making a cut downwards behind the gun, removing both the gun and his hands, and a simple control unit and new hands were added. Also a new 'mask' was created to give him a slightly different look.



(I still need to finish the sleeves... but that wont take long ::)).



And here it is, with the driver in situ prior to painting.....




...............................

And here is the thing after painting....









.....and better pictures will be taken when it is finished.

I have painted the various crew for it but am still undecided whether or not to fix a 'leader' type in place.
I shall take pictures once it is based.

Very nice.

Thank you.
 :)

As I was taking a few pictures of other things earlier, I just threw the speeder down and took a couple of pics of it.
It is not finished as it needs basing and a 'passenger' but the crew are done.
Please excuse the glare, the varnish seems to be catching more light than the window actually lets in!

Great stuff  :)

Love what you have done with the avian heads, might have to steal your idea and do some of my own versions in the new year, if you dont mind :D

Never thought of doing something along those lines with them but it works a treat and looks cool too

The herder is brilliant ,with the paint job it’s barely recognisable as the ork  :)

Thanks, Mark.
There are a few more heads to be used in a different project soon, and it should not be too long before these ones get coloured-in.
I look forward to seeing what you do too.

I hope he looks sufficiently different to get away with.
