This is the Second Swoop i made.
As you see, Swoops are signifficantly bigger than Speeder bikes.  MAinly repulsor engines, a seat and maneuver controls. In that way i wanted to give 'em a sort of futuristic repulsor Chopper look.
The chasis were from Shadowrun an d the pilots was a GZG original light horse biker. The head, again, molded from a SW WEG miniature .

this is the first i attempted, under repainting. I decided to give a blink for Katsuhiro otomo's Akira. LOL

I guess it's the mosta aggressive and sport looking i managed to do with the shadowrun bikes, and pimping it with some model parts, some tau weapons and armor.

Happy New year!

Thx you all for your comments!

Next 2017 project;
 SWMB stated that the Calamari troops were the only among the rebel troops who could carry combat armor. I always guessed that, as the Calamari were one of the few races that openly support the Rebellion, it was completely pledged to warfare. Even that calamaris were only showed on screen as naval enforcers...i'm working on a ground combat unit.

1st try. Still thinking on doing spotted pattern cammo on the kakhi armor plates.....not yet fond of the results...but ist just a first approach
