This is my Lego version of snowspeeder from Star Wars. It's used in Empire Strikes Back movie to fight imperial walkers with a harpoon. I started designing this model in 2011. First completed model didn't satisfy me for long so I redesigned everything from scratch couple of times. In 2014 the model started to be good enough and I decided it's finished.
