[MOC] T-47 Snowspeeder

[Roses]

I'm currently on a Hoth grind after getting the minifigure-scale AT-AT. Since TLG has (strangely) no system Snowspeeders available right now, I decided to build my own!

It was heavily influenced by Flying Waffle's version, who has multiple minifigure-scale Star Wars MOCs on Brickvault, I highly recommend looking at their other creations, they are quite impressive for their scale.

I'm frankly pretty happy with how my version turned out, particularly the back grill and the canopy with the slight outward angle on the sides. That part was a pain to build - the sides of the cockpit are attached to the wings while the upper part just rests on top of it. Nevertheless, it's one of those little ships that, even when built at an accurate scale with minifigures, is pretty small and manageable - way less of a headache than a Hoth AT-ST, which I'm currently working on and keeps toppling over ... Thanks for checking it out!

Wow, color me impressed. You've packed in a great deal of detail and really excellent shaping, especially in a build so compact. Hope to see some additional pictures with it displayed with/around the new AT-AT.

Agreed - for a non-UCS model - that is VERY detailed - nicely done.

Very cool, I love the front and SNOT stribes,on the wing. Does it have the lower wing flaps, many people forget about them (or dont have space).

Oh, I'm planning a whole little scene for when the AT-AT is finished. I'm also working on a couple of rebel turrets and am anxiously waiting for the release of the new minifigure packs

Thank you, those stripes are a tiny detail I'm pretty proud of . I didn't pay much attention to the underside of the speeder, so it's pretty messy in terms of structure . If I end up revisiting it, that's one section I'd like to improve.

Thank you! Sorry, I don't have any plans for making instructions for this model...
