:) thank you master.

it really looks great (even from nearby)...but you still see that it is paper..but that is because it's papercraft.

i have started with the the part where the harpoon is located..
but it's a tough part with many strange angles...maybe with take 3 i have a good part :)

This is it.

I have installed the snowspeeder on his spot.
Looking great I only hope that the speeder will stay there.
I have placed it tilted and there comes a lot of weight on the mounting point.

but the view is awesome.

When you got the Harpoon right, I thought, "He's finished with!". Excellent, you could probably trade it for a very nice car!! This thread has been a pleasure to read. Superb! :)

Nice build - I started today the same model. Thanks for your pic - I will refer to, if I will not be able to follow the instruction.
Your models are always very big - what is also very cool. Which size are you printing A3?

Ah....I also started with the instructions...but that ended when I began with the wing-parts, and the greebleing..

This snowspeeder I printed it A0 ...that is the largest I can print :)

I hope you also insert the pilots...it is really an upgrade to the speeder...it looks more life like than a parked speeder!

I will follow your thread..
happy building!

Wow - A0 - I think I would not have the space to park one papercraft in this size in my rooms ;-)
I did not think to create a new thread as your threed can be taken as referece for all future buildings. I think it might make things complicated if too many threads are giving the (mostly) same information - what do you think?

@ pilots - I saw your link - would be great. I will try, but as I have a model printed in A4 - I think the parts are gonna be very small and I doubt that I will be abe to finalize in good quality. We will see.

Place there is always.. for a star wars ship :)

And there are WAY to less starwars threads here...so your speeder can have one too :)

and about the pilots :) there is another link for pilots..i placed one of them in my x-wing..not as detailed.
I can't find the link anymore..

Thanks for feedback - I will follow your advice to enlarge the star wars threats.

@ pilots as mentioned will try. Thanks for the support.

I found 4 rebel pilots in the resource section:
rebel pilot and arc pilot both 1:35 and 1:50 - just for info

for the pilots you only need the upper torso and head..
maybe a little tricky with the scale..
even i think that my pilots a little to small..i think they should be a little bigger.
