Rey's Speeder Redux

Rebuilt Rey's speeder in an effort to streamline the shaping more as well as improve accuracy. Most notably the front pairs of 1x3 arches line up perfectly with the top curved slopes, among other details that ended up being obscured by the cargo net :(

 

Unfortunately this meant making the innards completely crazy crazy complicated with studs going in all 6 directions. I had to pray to the half-plate offset gods more than once to achieve this.

 

My version has discrete engines (rather than the weird brick-built saddle on the official version), a more accurate grill (with dark grey trim on the top and bottom), better shaping, a cargo net, and proper orange exhausts.

 

I realize this is not the best angle to show all of the above--there are more pictures to come soon, but I just wanted to push this one out quickly before my camera battery died.
