Of course you have, Designer Dave Taylor been itching to build one since he first saw one appear on the big screen when he was aged nine. And now he has. Dean Newman boards Shuttle Tydirium, don’t worry he has an older code clearance but it checks out, and catches up with then man who has brought the speeder bike to life.

Last year, you may remember Dave Taylor, who built a replica of an x-wing fighter in a shopping centre in Essex.  Well he's back!

Later in the year he’ll be bringing his design skills to another classic Star Wars vehicle, this time from Return of the Jedi. Perfect timing for its 35th anniversary. Here’s a teaser, can you guess what he’ll be building? The Bearded Trio - The Site For Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, John Williams and a whole lot more.
