Can you imagine the photos from fellow Freaks in the North during the winter, showing this plowed into a snow bank? Too cool.

I think if I had this I'd build an AT-AT foot and have it crushing the speeder. That would be fun.
It would be big, but the old Kenner snowspeeder was actually OVERsized. These give some idea of size relative to figures:
Not sure if this is accurate:

This would be a fun kit to build and paint. Depending on price I would love it!
I suspect a lot of us would have the same problem, though: where would I put this monster? Too many great collectibles, too little room.

Hi, thanks for the feedbacks and questions.
I am planning to do the cockpit of course.
To have the snowspeeder as it is for the show I had to leave the cockpit empty.
There is less photos references for the cockpit interior so I may have to do a mix of the model photos I have and the 1:1 scale cockpit.
The flaps in the back will open too.
I would like to have an option to mount the ship on a wall like a tv...I am currently using a Ram mount with monitor adapter.
Price range...i need to finish the prototype first and have some talks with companies that own the license.
I will take more time to answer other questions after the show is over.
Yes it is a prototype in work in progress
so don't over analyze it
And I am not the one who did the Tie Fighter.
Cheers

So pretty much the size of the 1/6 Tumbler.
More like two tumblers side by side. I would say width of Speeder would be about the same as length of tumbler but length of speeder would be about two tumblers wide.
This is an interesting option. It would obviously be quite a bit cheaper than a "finished" HT snowspeeder and just as detailed (maybe more so on finer detail) - but only for those who can actually build it. Lights aren't really that necessary for this unlike Falcon cockpit or Delorean and it's not a hugely complicated paint scheme and doesn't have lots of delicate/complex part assembly, probably do-able for a mid-level modeller.
And the actual body of this is probably closer to 2 1/2 feet in length, so it's big but not massive, definitely within the range of larger SSC 1/6 or 1/4 pieces.

Mount it to the wall or ceiling (hanging on an angle so you can still see into the cockpit).
Imagine my surprise to find this thread via a Google image search for 1/6 landspeeder. I see the image and the link to SSF, so I'm immediately thinking it's an old post for a project that was never completed. Imagine my surprise when I click and see the images are from this year's SDCC. Woo! Now the only troubling thing is that apparently Julien still doesn't have licensing worked out - that could kibosh the whole thing.

It looks great. What are the dimensions?

I have the MR snow speeder and it is about 16" by 12". That scale is a tweener I think of 1/9th maybe? The size should be somewhere under 3 feet by 2 feet wide. The cannons stick out a few inches which will make the length longer but main body should be around 30" or less I think.

Very cool, be interesting to see what this costs.
