Over at Yakface.com we have a bi-monthly themed get-together. We have to make a custom fitting the chosen theme and a random draw will determine the winner(s). Last night I finished work on my entry for the Swoop Racer Yakfinities. I'm quite the motorsports fan and had this idea of making a former champion swoop racer well past his hay days. I almost finished his ride too, but I accidentally broke off one of the steering vanes :sniffle: So er.... it's back in the shop.

***********************************************

Here's my Weequay's ride. It's the same racer he won so many championships with, although the livery has been affected by time. I took some real world logos and turned them into SW logos.

This looks really great. Especially the paint, very clean. I really need to start making more Star Wars customs.

Thanks so much guys! The feedback on this guy really exceeds my expectations! Glad I hit the mark pretty close with this one, then.

I wish the eBay folks would think the same, since a lot of people also think this one's awesome, but awesomeness apparently has a price, and it's below $1 :D

Wow! That is a great set! The details are amazing! I really like the swoop bike...Is that a marker or glue cap on the front of the engine? This is one brilliant looking racer!
