I don't have a suitable creature, Any ideas welcome

If you're not fussed about the tracking creature being Star Wars cannon, maybe the Phelynx from the latest Necromunda Esher set? https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Escher-Death-Maidens-and-Wyld-Runners-2020 (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Escher-Death-Maidens-and-Wyld-Runners-2020)

I like the first one more.
Is that some sort of electrical connection box ?

Thanks for sharing

Title: Re: SW Cargo skiff
Post by: gamer Mac on 14 December 2020, 11:56:43 PM: Not sure what you mean
the first one is a 3D model of the speeder in Solo
The second model is from oshiro models
Title: Re: SW Cargo skiff
Post by: zrunelord on 15 December 2020, 06:54:08 AM: Thanks for the reply.
I thought the models were scratchbuilt. ;)

When I saw the 2 blue painted engine outlets I thought they were some type of electrical connection plugs ( they are visibly very similar to ones used on machines in industry).

There should be plenty of room underneath for the batteries to hide.

I've been on the lookout for a cheap Kenner toy one to convert, but these days, they're rather dear I found.

So scratchbuilding one is a great solution indeed.

Can't wait to see this beast painted! :)

Can I suggest you maybe put some tin foil on the inside of your engine? That'll cut out the light bleed through the plastic card. Even painted, it'll still show through.

The plastic is great for this kind of build, easy to cut and good for scribing out panels and cheap when you get from your brother :D

Well bother; only when looking at the thread on my PC did I realize that you did use a toy as a basis, although it's not perfectly clear to me which one.

Apologies; suits me right for browsing the forum on my phone and then not bothering looking over a complete thread... ::)

I can attest to that.

An even better solution is aluminum tape, used to seal off air ducts (as opposed to duct tape; go figure lol ). It's actual metal, so absolutely lightproof, and it being tape, you won't have to bother with glue to put it in, the foil wrinkling or tearing, etc. :)

Love the use of that signage* for the wings, just the right thickness for strength and ease of cutting.
Loving the lights too.
The whole thing looks spot on.
:-* :-*

Andy's version is OK too, I suppose......

I have some of that stuff that I use for buildings, the irony being that mine are from a council planning department for proposed real buildings being used to make toy versions.
