[SoNE Ep.6]Boba Fett said "Thank You" too

[KevFett2011]

Hi guys,

here is my second MOC for the SoNE Challenge.

After they were on Mon Calamari and missed Boba,they get the job to go on Bothawui and meet Boba.As the group landed,they have no overview.Drev`starn,the capital of Bothawui is a jungle of cars,tourists and lots of skyscrapers.After the group go a little bit,they see Boba infront of a house.They run to him and start a conversation:

KevFett:Hello Boba Fett!

Boba Fett:Pssst!Not so loud!

KevFett: Oh,sorry!We come to give you this "Thank you" Card from Lord Vader.

Boba Fett:Why?

KevFett:Because you helped us with the rebells and Han Solo!

Boba Fett:Oh,yes!Whats your name,Stormtrooper?

KevFett:KevFett!

Boba Fett:You are a good Stormtrooper.Tell Lord Vader I say "Thank you" too.

Looks good Kev, though I don't think Boba would tell Vader "Thank You". But a good build none the less.

I agree with lego3364 on this but this build looks awesome and it is well done, great job!

Yeah, he would probably arrange a more discreet meeting-involving a messenger/hologram.

But the mini-build is nice; I especially like the doors!

Nice creation though a "Thank You" from Boba Fett is probably quite unlikely.

That building in the background looks good, I think you perfectly managed to recreate the architectural style of Bothawui. Maybe some greebles would have added some more details.

I agree with Wat Tambor, you've really captured the style of Bothawui! Great job making that happen in such a small space. You're story could use a little tweaking, but it's not too bad. And your photography has room for improvement, but overall a nice little build!

[MstrOfPppts]

A really nice build, smooth and looks exactly like Bbothawui buildings. It's quite a challange to not make it look like Tatooine with all that tan. I'd only sugest to build a bit higher. That'd allow for some more details on the building which curently ends a bit quick ...

And to everyone picking on Boba saying 'thank you' back, I think it's even more possible than Lord Vader sending a 'thank you' card in the first place!

I'm not familiar with Bothawui at all, but I really like what you've done with it! It definitely has its own nice look.

I especially like the concept here: you're in a crowded city, but you've found Boba in a corner. this is nicely shown with that black border separating the sidewalk from the road. Nice touch! You could go even further in this. If you want a more secluded and secret feel, maybe a corner could be a better idea, and you could photograph it with more shadows. Or you could place Boba in the doorway, half in the dark. And there could be a trooper on the lookout. Possibly some civilians walking across the other end of the scene. Then you could make the contrast between the hustle and bustle of the city on one side and the small, dark meeting alongside it. Just some ideas to make the story you're telling a bit more dramatic. As a general advice, think what atmosphere you want to depict, and then think how to make it as intense as possible.

The building is nice, with a nice shape that differentiates it from Tatooine architecture: well though out! The slopes towards the base give it a really solid look, and the contrast with the curves at the top is nice. The gap makes for a nice transition. However, if you really want to make it an architectural element (instead of have it looking like a 'mistake'), you can go for repetition. Add more of those gaps, as bands crossing the entire building. That would also give more texture and depth to the facade, that might be a bit lacking in detail, even for what is a 'simple' architectural style. Repeating the same patterns creates detail, while not overloading it. Of course, there could also be some small details, like a small panel to open up the door. Those elements (like the door you built) remind us that this is Star Wars we're dealing with.

As with your previous build, you don't use all of the space available, and that for such a small creation. Of course, you don't have to overload it, but here can be some subtle details. there could be a bit of litter in the streets, or a hatch going for the sewers, or a lamppost. That would make the urban feel still stronger, and would intensify the contrast with Tatooine. It would also be a nice opportunity to get a bit more color in the scene in a natural way (e.g., there could be a little bush). There are plenty of options to fill in the space a bit more, so that we get more details to like, and you get more opportunities to show off! I think your MOCs would go well with those details, since such a good base topped with extra details, that would take your build to a next level. So keep improving, and keep being good!

Yep, couldn't agree more!

Nice architecture...simple and effective

Good work
