I realised last night I only had one landspeeder assembled, so I found out my sprues and sighed, but thought why not show the process.
Land Speeder SprueAs we can see it looks a fairly simple but alas it is not.
When gluing you have to sit and hold it tightly, but I figure another way.
Whilst I held my last one I leaned it against the table, hard, then I held it in my armpit.. which failed miserably. I finally settled on elastic bands.
Once the landspeeder is together and gluing elastic bands really work wonders.
First I played around with the main bulky parts and quickly remember how to construct the inside and base.

I then glued the base plate to the base of the speeder, and held it tightly to ensure it was a snug fit. For some reason the landspeeder just wants to come apart naturally.

Dry brushing is where you get a fairly large brush, dip it in the paint but then remove a large amount of it so its almost a dry brush, hence... dry brushing.

After base coatingI plan to next paint the rest of the parts, add detail and glue it together then touch it up.
For now.
For now.
