The model of the Riverside
and Great Northern Speeder is rather dear to me. I came into
posession of some drawings of the protoype from its one time
owner, Mike Decker and could not resist building a model. Neither
could Carl Arendt and Steve Bennett and all 3 of us set about
building one. My poweplant is a Tenshodo SPUD. This model is
version 1.5 of the speeder .One year at the GATS show in Saint
Paul it suffered a dreadful mishap and fell to the floor after
being driven too fast around a corner. I gathered the pieces
up and I eventually after a few years rebuilt her with some extra
details to the form that you see her now. The model is predominantly
styrene with the curved handrails bent up from brass strip. |
