LucasLaughing Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Although Bespin is best known for Cloud City (home of the famous Rebel Lando Calrissian), hundreds of other gas mining platforms dot the skies of the gas giant. The Mining Guild maintains several zones of control, extracting the gas with mobile mining platforms and patrolling its territory with specialty TIE fighters. The mining platforms are largely automated, using sophisticated sensors and navcomps to find rich pockets of tibanna gas. Once the gas is mined and processed, it's transported aboard tankers for sale or further refinement. Behind the scenes: Spoiler Finally had time to post this, which was originally built for my faction introduction topic. The platform was inspired by the mining platforms briefly seen in ESB: Once I built the platform and ships, I used GIMP to stitch them together. I also built some clouds, which I added as a semi-transparent layer. Thanks for viewing - full sized pictures on my flickr Bricksafe Quote
Professor Thaum Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Nice one ! The automated stations are killer ! Nice tankers. Quote
mccoyed Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Great elements here. A lot to look at it. For me, the winner is those redesigned TIE fighters. Great idea and color scheme. Quote
Basiliscus Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Really great work on this one, love the composite shot, it really sets up the faction well. The mini TIE fighter is well built and very recognisable. Really nice work! Quote
