Sci-Fi Battered and Damaged Landspeeders (Curufin 3D Prints)

A pair of Landspeeders today, for use as terrain for Star Wars Legion and possibly Shatterpoint.

Sure, the scale may be off a little for Shatterpoint, but as terrain pieces that have very little to do with gameplay, I feel like they’ll still work okay.

These were quick and easy to paint. Spray paint a base colour then a zenithal of a lighter spray.

Next was a bunch of sponge highlighting for both the green and then the blue to give them a sun-bleached look.

The racing stripes on both were done by masking off the stripes and then simply stippling on the yellow/red.

I finished them up with more stippling using a couple of shades of metallic paint, as well as painting in the other details like the vents and seats. The windscreen is a piece of cut out plastic just slotted in there. I need to cut out another piece at some stage for the second speeder as well as I’ve just passed it back and forth for the photos here.

These models, digitally sculpted by artist Curufin can be found for free on Cults3D, along with a bunch of other models inspired by fantasy and sci-fi.

Some protocol droids provide scale for us here.

Yet again, these models were printed before December (during November, in fact!) and cleaned up & assembled in January so they count towards both Anne’s 2026 Miniature Assembly Challenge and also Dave Stone’s Paint What You Got Challenge 25-26.

  1. Excellent speeders mate, and great color schemes, I’ve looked at these a couple of times, so may end up getting some, where did you get the clear screens ?

    • Get thyself a Bambulab A1 (w/AMS), Dave – you won’t regret it! 😀

      It’s also great for STEM/STEAM learning, so you can have your kids learn to use it for their own education and trinket production while giving them print orders on a regular basis.

      The clear screen(s) are simply some cut out clear blister material. I need to cut some more actualy, so I have one for each of these. This particular blister material comes from GF9 TANKS! packaging, but it could come from literally anything that has the clear plastic. Even a Star Wars Black Series figure!

      • They did! I enjoyed the crafting elements but the combat was very different than WoW. It was one of those games that you had to play at that time because I’m not sure its aged all that well or that it can be replicated now, if that makes any sense.

      • Yeah, I know what you mean. I know there’s unofficial legacy SWG servers out there, but they’re not something I’d realistically play.

        I find the whole “classic WoW” much the same. It’s one thing for people who genuinely like that specific type of gameplay, but the “feeling” is part of the original time it was current.
