Reality and "Star Wars", the two will never meet! You're right about scaling up, I've encountered this on a few models, it can come from just a design detail left out, or errors in scaling. Not a simple task.
Some little errors i don't care...but when they get to large i really don't start a project...
That's why i didn't do a AT-AT or an AT-ST..
There are some fun little building projects of those 2..
But i think when blown up...they are a large paper-problem.
Ok..
started with detailing the part behind the cooling ribs..
maybe there will be a little more details...but i want the ribs installed.
So that i can start with the bottom of the speeder.

I have extreme confidence in your abilities. I personally enjoy how you figure this all out and put it all out therefor everyone to see. It makes forum reading very interesting!
Thanks for all those kind words..
I hope that i can help someone with those pictures..
And it's fun to see (also for myself) how i did it..
today i tried to construct some more of the underside..
it looks quite nice..number 1 i still have to cut but i only can do that when i have the complete side and see were every part stops.
OK..
The wing pieces are there..
and i started with the color part.
i've allready done the 2 back pieces and 1 front piece.
Detailing comes when i've installed everyting.

Yes it looks like everything is going to fit like i want to..
I only need to make the cover in the middle where the mounting point is..
And then i have every piece..
I used the normal cardboard because of the size i needed something sturdy..
So that it doesn't collaps...maybe i have to place some spacers but that is for monday..now it's WEEKEND

I have glued the paper with the correct color on the belly parts.
And began with attaching it to the ship.
Also i'm making the detailing..
first with a marker...make it a little dirty..
And when completly attached..there will be some greebles.

Wow! This is an awesome build, I will be following this thread with great anticipation.
With the scale you build on you'll need a whole room to keep and display everything.
Yes the wings are glued ..
And one wing came of...>AARRRGHHH..uh sorry
I tried to fix it..
by give it some liqued-glue...uh..
and reinforced it with some hot glue..
