[SoNE Ep III] Surprised at the royal chambers

[pihlbrick]

So here is my entry for Episode 3. It took up all of my white plate bricks - anything from 6*12 to 1x1 :) I just got the wife the Winter village Cottage and Market sets, and those two are crawling with large white base plates, but couldn't use those - oh no, not during the holidays :)

When the imperials attacked Echo base no one thought to check the princess's royal quarters. Every''one was too busy keeping the imperial scum at bay for long enough for everyone to escape safely.

According to the orders we were given some very secret plans were stored inside the princess's wedding chest, and it was imperative that this was retrieved before the imperial troops would get to them and probably ransac the place. The royal chambers were placed somewhat away from the main part of the base, and it was suspected that the imperial forces wouldn't know of the whereabouts of the base before they hacked through most of the computers.

When we got to the royal chambers, it was obvious that they had suffered in the snow, the corridors where blocked with snow and ice, and we would have to dig our way through to find the princess' wedding chest.

Bringing a shovel to Hoth is like bringing a spoon to a blasterfight, we had to use pick axes and a snowdrill to get through to the chest.

We had intercepted a message leaving Hoth base that the imperial troops had learned the location of the royal chambers and would look for it tomorrow. While the others where digging my job was to keeo a lookout for anything suspicious above ground.

What I saw gave me a sudden chill and made me rush back to the others to cool it with the digging or we would be made for sure. Those AT-ATs are not to be messed with.

Thank god it was a blizzard outside or they would have made out the backup generator for the royal chambers or the entrance hatch easily.

Why were they out in such weather, and why were they carrying a chainsaw and an axe? Playing some sort of real life version of Doom versus Wampas? I know this place is like a wintery hell, but still that sounds to messed up for imperial storm troopers.

The AT-AT from the front. I was building this out of the remnants of my grey parts just when EP III, came out so I just had to use it.

Rear Shot (seems obvious what those tools where for :) )

And by it self

A shot down the corridor towards the ladder and the hatch (Feels like Vader is about to enter)

A shot of the base without the AT-AT and minifigs. just for reference.

Hope you enjoyed the show :)

Nice

Oh. Wow. I wish I had that many white plates. White is definitely not my strong point when it comes to Lego variety.

Pretty neat! Especially those corridors blocked with snow look really good. The walls are just right. And you've photographed them perfectly! That generator almost entirely covered in snow is some great work too.

That AT-AT is nice as well, and is very dynamically posed. The legs are a bit skinny though.

Lastly, I really dig the composition of this one. You have the Imperials with their huge AT-AT at the top, while the Rebels are softly walking underneath. I like the split nature of this one!

Oh dear, the Imperials are carrying chainsaws with them, and what looks like a giant green drill!

[MstrOfPppts]

Haha, afraid of people carrying axes around Christmas time? There's plenty of those around here and everyone knows what's going on. The AT-AT could use some stronger legs but it's nicely done. My favourite part is the snw covered generator and the trench also works well!

What is that AT-AT doing with that tree?
