10 - AMT - Anakin's Podracer
What an incredibly fun kit to build, from the subject to the fit and finish I had a ton of fun.
The details are great and the figure was amazing to paint, a few gaps here and there on the pod but nothing that was too tough to fix up.
The rockets is where I had the most fun, painting with metallics and then drybrushing on different colours to make it look like it was hot and burning.
The kits base was nice but was a bit uninteresting so I decided to give it a desert look and wanted the design on the base sticking out of the sand like a relic being uncovered.
I really enjoyed this kit, I'd recommend it to anyone who asks.
Unusual but beautiful build, Anthony @anthonyricco
The detailing and painting is exceptional.
Thanks a lot John, yes I must say I did spend a lot of time painting. Was really fun, and I'm happy with the outcome on the engines.
What a fun off beat build. I really like the work you did on the engine pods. It looks ready for the Green Screen with an exciting backdrop. Great build really!
Haha - thanks Walt, I think it will take a lot more practice to be ready for Hollywood haha. Appreciate the comments.
An amazing build, Anthony! A nice divergence from our usual modeling norm!
Congratulations!
Thanks Spiros, yes, fun to do something a little more out there, every now and again - you can get a little more creative with. I enjoy mixing up my subject matters.
Nice work on the engines - the whole thing looks very imaginative. I have to admit, I've only seen clips of the pod race. Episode 1 was so bad I walked out and convinced them to give me my money back. Your model is far better than that entire movie.
Haha - thanks Tom, what a compliment that this is better than the whole movie, doesn't say much though haha. Thanks for the amazing words.

To tell you the truth Anthony ... this is ONE of the best top notch build
I have seen of Anakin's Podracer ( trust me, I have seen many, the STAR WARS franchise
STILL has me doing commission work here in PR )
Kudos on the weathering, chipping and the detailing on the engines.
Thank you for the fine images and for sharing them.
Wow De4ever, thats a massive compliment, thanks so much for the comment. What is it that you do for the franchise?
Well done, Anthony (@anthonyricco). The weathering looks awesome, and I really like the purple power crackling between the pods.
Thanks George, I wish my electronics knowledge was existent at any level - was trying to think of how I can light that up.
