Hasbro 'Treadspeeder' to Hover Vehicle Toy Transformation
This is the Hasbro tread speeder, that I modified to a desert speeder instead. I sawed off the treads, the toy-like missile launcher and it's mechanism, and other parts that I didn't want and replaced the opened areas with plasti-card and some minor scratch built and other small detail parts from 'box of tricks'. The result is what you see. I posed the figure that came along with the Hasbro tread speeder. I posted photos without the figure as well. Thanks for looking. I also posted photos of the original toy before the transformation, so you can see the changes I made.
Wow, talking about transformation, my friend @tiking!
This is a wonderful result, love to see all detailing added!
Thank you kindly my friend.
A much more intelligent choice, and it looks better to boot.
"treadspeeder" - a contradiction in terms as well as a violation of the laws of physics (always an issue in Star Bores movies).
I read you loud and clear, on that issue, Tom. But then again, its scifi, anything goes. 🙂
Adapting and improvising! Looks great.
Thanks Robert.
Terrific job moving this out of the "toy" category into the "model" category, Charles (@tiking). I have always like Star Wars movies, especially the really imaginative vehicles they have. Weathering is well-done, and the figure is a nice touch.
Thank you very much for your input. Much appreciated.
That is an amazing transformation from a toy. The weathering is outstanding.
Thank you kindly Haslam. Glad you liked it.
Very imaginative work, Charles, beautifully carried out. Definitely liked.
Glad you liled it. Thank you. Appreciate it.
