[Q10 - Uogo'cor - TT] Clone Trouble

Karius' narrative:

I was once an ordinary man you know. I came from a poor family in one of the roughest neighbourhoods on Coruscant, it was a hard life, but living like that makes you tough. As soon as I could I joined the republic as a junior technician in the fleet - I had no real interest in the republics aims but I dreamt of wealth and power. It was a mere matter of weeks after the Jedi betrayed the republic that it happened. As part of the newly formed galactic empire, I was onboard a Venator heading to Ota. We had just been diverted from our root, a imperial ship with slaves from Kashyyyk had been attacked by pirates over Uogo'cor and needed reinforcements. We arrived over the planet and the pirates realised that they could not win in any conventional space battle. Instead they sent a suicide ship filled to the brim with explosives into our venator. I passed out shortly afterwards but we were luckily in the upper atmosphere of the planet and therefore able to breathe. By some miracle a number of us survived, hanging on the scraps of metal that protected us from the heat and broke our fall. The result was myself (minus an arm) and a number of galactic marines were left stranded on the surface of a strange planet ruled by pirate gangs.

What followed was a long trek fighting off numerous attacks until we reached a location with the signal to send a message to imperial forces on Kashyyyk. Lucky I was with the galactic marines - one of the most elite clone legions, I know to this day that it is the only reason I survived. I got a significant promotion and a metal arm for my bravery though so I guess that it was worth it.

Just a fun little build to try out some new techniques and expand on Karius' story. Let me know what you think!

Your model is pretty cool! What stands out to me really is the Galactic Marine. Some of my friends really like those and would like them as a minifig... Yours would serve as one well. It matches the color scheme, and the snowtrooper helmet also looks similar to the movie matches the Galactic Marine's.

You've got some great terrain here! But the way the plates and bricks aren't pushed down all the way is driving me nuts!

[marvelBoy123]

I've updated the picture, sorting the problem as much as possible. Anything with a gap now is an imperfect connection due to the building technique used.

[Simulterious]

Very creative, with a lovely tree design to boot!

[Ross Fisher]

A really neat little design. Well done.

Great job using this challenge as a prequel to your other builds! And, nice little moc!
