Rey Speedster - StarWars Episode VII - 'The Force Awakens'
One of the new heros presented in StarWars Episode VII - 'The Force Awakens' is a character named Rey,
We meet Rey on a god-forsaken desert planet, searching for scrap technology in the ruins of old spacecraft. Like any good story, she is quickly caught up in events outside of her control and assures her place in StarWars mythology (one assumes).
Here ride of choice - a simple speeder, ridden somewhat like a motorcycle. I assume that it rains on Rey's world, as the paintwork of her speeder would be best described as 'rusty'.
For the conversion to a Lego build, it might have been easy to assume a direct relationship to a motorcycle of some sort, but the look of the speeder aligns much more closely to pre-war racing cars, with their long tall hoods. In fact, to make this model, I have used about 3/4 of the Lego 75099 Rey Speeder in tact, forming the front hood section, augmented by an aerodynamic tail with a reinterpretation of the speeder thrusters. Then, a traditional four wheels, spread to the corners for stability, and the pilot seat scaled to a miniland rider.
This Lego miniland scale Episode VII - Rey Speedster has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 98th Build Challenge, titled - 'The Star Wars Awakens' - a challenge to recreate, in Lego, a vehicle inspired by the StarWars movie franchise.
