The Battle Of Hoth

[Scouty]

I had this done a couple years ago, and Hopefully will do it this year if Snow falls and gives that fresh powder love look. Well, present you my Battle of Hoth

The lonesome rebel, gulp!

Wow, you used real snow to take these pics.

Looking great (almost real)! Excellent pictures.

Nice one, I can

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

Nice! Could use a little bit more of a army, but other than that, it rocks!

That's fantastic :-D Oh man, I need four of the new AT-ATs to set up a good scene if we ever get snow like that again <_<

[simonwillems]

Wow, great! That is almost the way George Lucas made the actual film that was done with models too.

I love the way you did the snow, it looks sooooo real :-D

I really like the distant shots of the AT-AT coming out of the shadows.

your the first one I know hoiw actually used really snow, great job *y* !

[Asuka]

Looks really cool! *y*

[Scouty]

Thanks all! There's no extra troops. That's all the hoth guys I have. I just bought two extra snowtroopers plus the two from the AT-AT set. I was quite careful whil placing these on the snow. You can see that the AT-ST was moved. I liked it there better. My favorite is picture number 7 with the shadows upon the AT-AT and AT-ST. Like I said, there might be another one this year. As these pics were taking a few years back.

Very cool! My only complaint is that you have the old AT-ST and not the hot new one. :-P

[Hobbes]

Looks cool, maybe a few FX would be nice, like laser blasts and explosions ;-)

[Minifig Lecturer]

Very nice :-) , only thing i could do would be to sprinkle snow on the lego boards to hide them. Then I think it would look film-quality.

[Scouty]

Cough Cough These were taken a couple years ago The new AT-ST hasn't even been thought of when I made these pics.

You see why the baseplates are on the snow? Because I don't want snow on my Legos! Only my baseplates can take such harm. So, I only placed them as is.

Hobbes: Their is a picture in the folder that has fx. I may re-do this one for prettier graphics.

That looks amazing!

Some friends and I did a Battle of Hoth at a Sci-Fi convention a few years ago. We didn't have real snow, though.

Very impressive IS. The snow adds the best background possible. I was going to suggest removing the baseplates as well, but just read why you have them there. You need a few white ones then.

In any case, this looks really slick. I esp. like the scene with the snowtroopers.

Lostcarpark: your scene looks good as well. I never got around to making a scene and taking pictures with my Hoth sets. :-(

good except it's too obvious which side is going to win. :-D
