BIG GUY Playground. Pg 15 New Updates

[big guy]

Curious to know if anyone has built Boba Fett a speederbike? Maybe one from the EU from the comics?

Contemplating having a crack at the bike he uses in the Bounty on Bar kooda and following 2 stories.

So if anyone has done it any advice or moreso some photos of theirs?
Cheers.

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

Why would Boba need a speeder bike when he has a jet pack?

 

[big guy]

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

Ahh see the pack I reckon is for short journey`s or to get outta the **** quickly. For the longer ground transport well the speederbike is nimble enough and quick enough to tear around on.

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

Cool love to see you have a crack at that. Have you got many ref pics? Looks really good

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

Thank`s Dorgmal Snow I shall be starting on it once this bout of viral flu has left the house LOL
As for ref well i do have all three stories (just the art work leaves a lot to be desired) and I have made preliminary sketches to 1/6th size of the main body minus vanes. So feeling confident and don`t think it`ll take that long either once started.

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

Great idea! It would be a nice way to display Boba.

You don't dig Cam Kennedy's art work?
That's a shame. He's a legendary veteran of the golden era of 2000ad. His Dredd was incredible.
IMO he's a genius, ironically, the speeder you want to make was designed in whole by Cam.

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

feroze13, not a huge fan of Cam`s Dredd either I`m afraid to say. I prefer good old Carlos and one or two others but yea Cam`s style wasnt to my liking.
As for Fett the ink work is fantastic but NOT a fan of the way he uses the colours.

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

Looking at the comments on amazon for that book, you're not in the minority with that opinion, the tinted values of the colouring seemed to alienate a lot of people.
But, I have great love for the man's work, and fond memories of copying his stuff as a kid, good luck with the bike.

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

Oooh that would be so cool i hope someone makes 1.

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

I can't stop thinking about this custom. I found a couple of nice reference pics out on the web.

 

[big guy]

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

feroze13 I didn`t know that. It`s just personal taste for me and know many who do love Cam`s work, just not me

Crimsonbob I hope to do it justice (I hope).

dh4, WOW didn`t know Hasbro had made one for the 3 3/4 SW line, nice.

I don't think they did.... which is why he said it was a custom.

I'd really like to see this in 1/6, it's gonna be awesome!

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

Are there any more pics of this swoop/speeder ? It looks like it would be a good warm up project before I start on my BARC Speeder !

 

[big guy]

Re: BOBA FETT Speederbikes

I`ll scan some later on Thundergod from the 3 comics if it`ll help?

The Dude Person, Thank`s I stand corrected, my bag.
