-JD- Posted April 17, 2010 (edited) My favourite Star Wars ship on display is a must, so I needed a stand! I wanted the stand to be different to other stands. Instead of just the set information on black bricks, I wanted to make it interesting. Overview: ARC-170: Mountain Top: C&C welcome.

commdr_neyo Posted April 17, 2010 Looks very nice. I like the way the rocks are built, and the fact that you have 4 kashyyyk troopers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander_Rob Posted April 17, 2010 Very impressive and also a good way to make a display more interesting, with the stand being a cool little diorama like that. The details on the base are really neat, I love how those birds are completely unimpressed by the Clonetroopers bustling around and a spaceship blasting along overhead. I see that the girder the ship rests on is slightly angled backwards. Any chance of seeing how you mounted it? This design is so good, I might try to adapt it for my ARC-170.

-JD- Posted April 17, 2010 Thanks for the nice comments so far. @Rob- I just put a hinge under the girder held up slightly by two 1x2 plates and a bit of white tack. Although it isn't all LEGO, who is going to see the tack under the rocks, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wout Posted April 17, 2010 Nice stand. Bird against Kashyyk Clone biker scout: "No, that's not an easteregg, It's mine. And now get the XXXX out of here." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
not-in-use-anymore Posted April 17, 2010 Interesting stand, but are there any chickens in Star Wars? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eskallon Posted April 17, 2010 Very interesting stand JD I like that it is different to alot of others and this draws attention to it and contributes to it's awesomeness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted April 17, 2010 Excellent 'Jammiedodger714' - the birds are COOL ! It's a pity that girder doesn't come in transclear eh ? Overall it's a fantastic idea, and I might do the same for some of mt SW and CW gear. I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forneiro Posted April 17, 2010 That's a very nice idea and excellent building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RileyC Posted April 17, 2010 it looks great Jammie! Im loving the bird perched on the rocks. I do have one problem with it though, wouldnt the huge arc-170 blow the scout troopers cover? Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted April 18, 2010 Excellent stand, it really is much nicer to look at than a boring black stand. It does draw some attention away from the ship though. These pictures are making me second guess my decision to not get the new arc 170 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Crazy One Posted April 18, 2010 I love it. A see through brick is about the best stand I made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) The rock looks good, and all those BARC troopers are a nice touch. My only gripe is the actual stand itself. It looks like the ARC is scraping over a radio tower. It would be better if you could use something translucent. EDIT: By the way, I love the Lair of Grievous reference in the poll.
