[MOC] Various speeders & locations + free instructions

[Veynom]

Hello there,

I'm lucky enough to have a secondary flat at the seaside with a small stock of bricks. As I spent most of my summer holidays there this year, I used my time to build small MOCs, simple stuff, with no particular ambition. The exercice is often about how to use a particular part (NPU), how to make something with colors I use less, and still build mainly Star Wars creations with only what I have at hands (Creator, Friends, City bricks). Here are the various resulting MOCs:

I started with a small vignet, kind of a hangar where I used some clones from the 212th.

If the base is 2-brick high, it is because the dark red ground part is mostly made from slopes (originally from a house roof).

My daughter asked me then to build a kind of weapon shop for smugglers. I built this small bounty hunter outpost, ready to welcome scums and other vilains. I used almost all tan parts I had.

Being close to the beach allowed me to make some cool pictures... Who just said "Tatooine"?

Lack of tan parts forced me to be creative in many places.

After the outpost, I built more speeders. Starting with this KH-26 Kaddyr, a kind of mini Opel Blitz, Star Wars way.

It looks really rusty and cobbled together from whatever junk parts. Even its driver is a fishbag minifig.

Then there was the KH-27 Pekz, to test color matching between lime and some custom clones purchased by my son. Lime does not work.

But patrolling on the sea shore is a real pleasure.

I must confess I would love driving a speeder on the sea side like that ...

Free instructions for the Pekz are available on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-156286/Veynom/kh-27-pekz-speederbike/#details

Another speeder variant came next with the KH-28 Rhak-Skuri

I used blue and white for the colors and the engine exhaust is made from a Friend trophy cup!

Then, with my son, we started a small contest. The goal was to create a small vignette to display his new custom clones.
He started with this nice gate for a clone trooper from the 442nd Siege Battalion:

I really liked his gate.

I retaliated with a stairs from Coruscant streets and Commander Fox:

But finally I settled the score for all by merging both creations into a single one. His gate, my stairs. And the 442nd was back.

I found some discounted 501st battle packs. Figs are nice (ok compared to the custom ones, they are average) but the proposed canon is ... under average. I decided to use 2 of these sets to make 1 better canon.

And more pictures at the sea side ...

This is the new Atlantic Wall:

I also made free instructions for that one on Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-155900/Veynom/mobile-artillery-platform-from-2x-set-75345/#details 

Most of these MOCs are already back to the bulk but the purpose is to build, not to keep. And when I build, it means I'm feeling good so I can conclude holidays were nice. 

Hope you enjoyed these, feel free to mention your preferred creations in the comments.
