I am sure somebody round here parts would help this young lad ,Caval, out with a rider for his Bike.

Great job Cav, makes me wish I had the skills to do the same to my Speeder Bike. You customizers do some awesome work, keep the amazing stuff coming.

Just love this thread...

I am planning on making a scratch-built speederbike for my 1/7th Koto Scout trooper.

I have studied the various blueprints of the bike and I have come up with the attached plans.

Hey everyone, with the SS Speederbike release, I thought I would revive this older thread so we can post our modified Hasbro Speederbikes. The SS bike is very nice, but the old Hasbro bike can be made into a respectable representation with some TLC. Here is mine, I just finished it today. I took it apart and did a complete repaint. Some of the mods include a new control panel, shaping the front fins and some other work as needed. The Hasbro Scout trooper is unmodified, I haven't gotten around to working on him yet. Honestly, I am waiting for an Endor Leia for the bike.

Really nice repaint Darkeyes, bike looks great.

This thread is a trip down memory lane. I enjoyed spending a few minutes going through it again. Good times.

Looks great

Looks good, I'm doing the same thing right now. SS Bike looks great, but I wanted to save some money and Hasbro bike is good enough for me. I'm glad people are giving the Hasbro Bike some love.

The new SS bike does look good if slightly underscaled imo,but a little tlc can make the hasbro look pretty good...

Looks great Matrix. I may need to re-visit mine.

Nicely done. Perfect example of what a little creativity & TLC can do for some of the hasbro releases.

For anyone who's interested here's the ball/socket joint i used for the bike to swivel on. It's from a wood grip tool and works pretty good. I glued a small piece of leather over the ball joint just to make it a little more stiff/ridged when it's sitting inside the socket. View attachment 204606View attachment 204607

Here's the custom body i used for the trooper. TTL/MARMIT/SS BUCK all spliced together. Shoulders and sides of the TTL are sanded down. I wanted a really articulated body that could sit on the bike properly and be easy to pose and this works great! The biggest problem i found was keeping his boots attached to the foot pedals so i put magnets inside the boots,once they're on the pedals slip another magnet underneat and they stay nice and secure

Here he is suited up with tomy helmet. I hope to pick up the SS trooper at some point. I can then up-grade this guy with the extra bike-boots and gloves

Yes, thanks for the pic's matrix. I have the Hasbro bike and will do your mod to make it a single pole setup.

That looks really great, and I like the subtle weathering. The customs in here are more accurate than the SSC.

One hell of a party over at the bunker.

Upgraded my scout with SS boots and suit. I felt the weathering on the boots was way too much so cleaned them up a little. And the hasbro gun can actually fit into the boot holster which works out great
