The Imperial Armored Speeder, which appears in Andor, is a small versatile speeder utilizes by the Empire to transport troops and weapons. While primarily depicted in a patrol and security role, it can also be used for light fire support of Imperial stormtroopers and infantry.
This model is approximately 1/45th scale and has room for two minifigures, one driver and one gunner. This model is the perfect scaled for anything from small to large MOCs while still being highly detailed and accurate.
Instructions available on my Rebrickable: reb.li/m/248454
Update to my Episode II speeder chase speeders. Zam's speeder is identical, but I smoothed out the sides of Anakin's and extended the engines, replacing them with some more interesting parts.
I'm still a bit unhappy with the side windows on Zam's and the headlights on Anakin's.

A high speed, high powered car race along the Trysull Road in Wolverhampton one Sunday afternoon in 1979, resulted in this Ford Capri losing control and colliding with a lamppost. The Capri's driver was badly injured, but he survived the crash; on the other hand his 'pride and joy' was 'totalled'...Why do boys have to do silly things like this?
I took this picture of the aftermath, as this smokey old long-wheelbase Land Rover drags away the smashed up Ford Capri from the scene.
Kronos Colony. Primary outpost of the System on the Saturnian moon Titan and one of the most populous and important colonies in the outer Solar System.
Situated on the shores of the Ligeia Mare close to the mouth of the hydrocarbon river known as the Vid Flumina, Kronos began as a harvesting operation for Titan's exotic hydrocarbons and nitrogen, but has grown into an important and diverse colony.
Titan's liquid hydrocarbon rivers, lakes and seas make the usual mechs and rovers less fully useful for getting around, particularly in the polar regions where the majority of the lakes and flumina are. More than anywhere else in the System, Titan's Kronos colony employs ground-effect speeders for the majority of its local transport.
Recently, rumours of a secret Blacktron separatist base in the Xanadu region of Titan have prompted an increase in patrols, and Keyshawn Friedman and Jan Meyerdahl pilot their R22 Avalon speeder across a spit of land jutting out into the Ligeia Mare. Titan was a big moon, however, larger than the planet Mercury. Surely the Blacktron couldn't be anywhere close to such a large and important System outpost...?

Okay, technically I built the speeder and then decided to locate it on Titan, but Titan's an interesting place to put a Neoclassic Space outpost, and I decided it needed to be done.
All the locations on Titan are real astronomic features of the moon, for added realism. I'm not sure that black is necessarily the right colour for Titan's liquid methane seas, but it works for modelling purposes.
Anyway, here's my Titan-speeder.
One of today's garage sales had a batch of clear colored globes.
I realized that all the globes that I had to date were either opaque or clear. No translucent colored until now.
This is the result. Kind of strange. I did not get the framing right in three tries.
Cheers.
Nice, my first video to make explore. :)
A 35 minute masking job compressed into 90 seconds. I can't show the finished product at this time but I at least wanted to post something.
This essentially documents my standard masking procedure. There are really only two things here that are of any note. One is the use of shift+click to draw straight lines. I often use shift+click when masking to create very short line segments because I find that to be more accurate than painting entirely by hand, with a mouse or with my stylus.
The second thing is the way I usually do hair which is to mask away some of the hair and then using special hair brushes that I have created I paint it back in. I find this to produce better results than trying to mask the actual strands of hair. Since hair is semi transparent it is very difficult to mask it in such a way that it can easily be moved onto a different color background.
Now, in the case of this image, since I am isolated on a solid white background, it would have been possible to use a different method to isolate me, but I have found that I always have to come back with a brush and refine parts, so I have taken to just doing it with a brush and not wasting any time with any other steps. There are some situations where masking by hand just does not make any sense, like masking a tree or something else with a lot of small details. For those situations I use other techniques.

A collection of warmup / leftover builds that didn't quite seem right for the LSB 2017 contest. I tried some custom stickering on these. Enjoy!!
After many hours working on a mod for the Quaketronic sound trigger(here: www.flickr.com/photos/gerard_maas/8564973590) , it's finally working with my Canon speedlites. The mod allows to connect up to 3 wired flashes, providing accurate synched triggering of all flashes at the same time with minimum uncontrolled delay.

The iconic HST125 celebrates its 40th Anniversary in 2016. This power car has been painted in a retro-style British rail Inter City livery for GWR and renamed Sir Kenneth Grange in honour of the chief engineer responsible for its development. The HST125 (BR Class 43) remain the fasted diesel powered train ever produced. This is a composite image that brings out the beauty and speed of this magnificent piece of British engineering.
WE SD40T-2 #5413 rolls through downtown Creston with 227 on it's way towards Hartland Siding. Due to rolling hills and 40 mph rail, I lost the train numerous times between here and Brewster. The Wheeling is not an easy railroad to chase!
A small speeder made only with part from the excellent 31039: Blue Power Jet Lego set.
The canopy can open and two minifigs can comfortably sit Inside.
The speeder is very sturdy and highly swooshable.

The Rebel Scout Speeder II is ready for combat with reinforced frame plates (top to bottom) to move and land on any surface. It has a detachable rotating heavy blaster cannon that rotates in all directions to take care of anything that moves in its range and a new thermal sensor periscope for accurate firing. It can detect invisible camouflages used by some of the empire troops.
The Rebel Scout Speeder II has anti-blaster shields placed strategically to protect the Rebel Trooper crew from enemy fire.
