Description
I started to work on this model last Summer, as a way to keep practicing without too much effort. Just to stay sharp. I reasoned that a vehicle didn't need any really special stuff... And then as time went by I kept adding details and glowing effects.
I chose the Black Templars because after so many Black Templars commissions (still ongoing, BTW) I was left with a burning desire to paint some for myself. And I still do.
I went for the official colour scheme because I like it better than any other and kept the black colour to the maximum. For the cockpit I wanted some contrast, so I went for a cream colour that stands out both with the overall black and the white of the shoulder pads.
Fun fact: I never really liked this version of the Land Speeder, but I had so many that this is still the first version of the plastic kit, to which I added a more recent assault cannon.
