Star Wars - Snow Speeder

This is the AMT/ETRL snow speeder model photographed and scanned, then touched up with Adobe Photo-Shop and finally super imposed over an icy picture. The lens flair was added using Photo-shop.


The original background shows two brave skiers watching an avalanche which was perfect for a crash site. I suppose two storm troopers would have looked better. You will also notice the pilot and co-pilot are not in their usual orange uniforms, I don't think you could hide from imperial storm troopers in the snow dressed like a tangerine !


This is the original photo. As you can see the colour balance was way too yellow and I also added some weathering and some smoke from the exhausts. I also cloned some of the snow and lapped it around the edge of the vehicle to make it look buried.

All the brake flaps move on this model and the harpoon gun rotates although I have not done anything to the bottom because you never see under there anyway.
