  1. I intend to incorporate some led lights into a build for fun and a bit of variety, and I have acquired the official LED lights and Battery box, understanding that it needs to be kept within rules of official lego items only, and that the battery box needs to fit into the 16x16 build. I want to seek opinions about this, as it does require more attention to details and careful positioning of lights. I am confident that the 2 LED lights should sufficiently light up the 16x16 build, anything bigger will be a problem. I do not know if it is worth it or not, as there may be some areas that are not illuminated. Will the primary picture ONLY be judged or across all the various pictures that shows the incorporated lights? Thanks.
  2. This is a great freebuild with interesting use of parts and SNOT design. I love how the speeder looks all in white, almost like a luxury royal cruiser A Slave outfit Leia will look good in the dancing window On another note, this is in no way critiquing this excellent freebuild. I see that 2 of the posts earlier refers this to be Fondor, but its labelled Ord Mantell and descriptive text says it as well. I do agree it fits Fondor more, instead of Ord Mantell which is a little grittier. Whichever way you choose, it is regardless a great build.
  3. Agreed. @Behemoth - I think you can also do a switcheroo in terms of story if needed and the stormie doesn't arrive in time. You can perhaps substitute a disguised trooper. This episode has so many possibilities as well. Problem Solved ! On another note, I have 99% completed my last entry lest photo taking, but I won't post it up yet, since I don't have the 11xP yet (I am now at 10XP awaiting the FreeBuild Score ). I may leave to the last minute to post it, and since I have some time, thinking of doing another planet's entry just in case we need that planet instead for the Empire Win.
  4. Thanks Cagast, that was picture just to show the new rear. Glad you liked it! Yeah, agreed, I did toy around that a bit, but couldn't get one to fit closer to scale to Intolerance. Either that it became too chunky and ended looking too much a turtle . I did the tie fighter a little later, so it does look a little out of whack when put altogether. What I have learnt from all these is micro scale isn't as easy as it looks, but it's more fun and consume more parts than I originally thought. This is the first micro scale MOC I have actually done, so it's all new and really fun to me. Makes me want to bricklink more parts to get on my next micro scale build.

    Episode VI: Bounty Hunter Hunt

    That's perfectly understandable Mkjosha. Don't let that suck the fun out of building. I am still undecided which planets to build - Bothawui or Fondor. I will likely conceptualize for the both and leave to the last few days to decide which one to build on.
  6. Ok, I'll see if I can build for Bothawui once I pass my 10xp (currently sitting on 10xp). Initially planned for fondor, thought it was easier
  7. Thanks for the compliment Markus! And congrats for the FBTB Steam Wars win!
  8. New Freebuild at http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=100208 . Hope to get at least 1 XP so that I can build my 3rd entry :)
  9. Great Build! Lots going on! May i ask what torso does the armless man belong to? Love to have that part!
  10. The Imperial Department of Military Research was a research department of the Galactic Empire responsible for researching and development of new weapons, technologies, warships, and battlestations for the Imperial Military. In very rare instances, the IDMR issues experimental ships and gear to the Imperial Survey Corp (ISC) and the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB) for trial and field-testing...However, only the best of the best are selected. Pointblank has been assigned to such a ship - the Intolerance. The Intolerance is a scaled down destroyer loosely based on the Gladiator Class Destroyer. Designed for the Imperial Survey Corp (ISC), the Intolerance is designed to be fast and maneuverable for quick sortie missions, or chase down fast moving rebel ships such as the blockade runner. Equipped with a Hyperdrive Class 1 engine, and light capital class weapons and point defence, the Intolerance also carries a light complement of fighters and Pacifiers designed for the ISC. The hangar at the front is capable of launching Ships and Mechs quickly. It has a full array of Specially Designed Mechs, Drop Pods and Gear for classified ISC missions, and also a fortified containment and torture facilities to contain the most dangerous of criminals and extract information from them. The dark menacing silhouette of the Intolerance is deliberate, and a result of experimental stealth and radar avoidance plates on its hull. --------- My first freebuild and my first official ship MOC. Comments and Criticisms welcomed as always. :) Looking to build more as Pointblank grows in SoNE. Part 2 carries on here
  11. Editted: the rules are 11xp onwards - dang! No worries persevere :) maybe another freebuild! As an update, i will be doing a version 2.0 regardless. I am done actually, I am in the midst of creating a mini scale of fondor to place the intolerance to where it was built, to create a backstory for it.

    [SoNE Freebuild] Royal Guard Assassination

    Wow, a very good build! That's an awesome effort!
  13. Thank you both. I made a number of modifications to give it a beefier and detailed look. It now weighs literally almost twice as heavy. Will post it this weekend to be judged.
  14. Always liked Ninja Nin's take on an entry, always have that little bit uniqueness about them to give that special edge, that creates a tremendous amount of suspense amidst a great colourful and very deliberate build. This one is no different and is great!

    [SoNE ep. VI] Why didn't I take a boat?!

    An outstanding build. Nice combination of interior and exterior props !
  17. Thanks Bob, that's what I figured as well. No worries, I'll probably just modify the existing 2 builds I have and keep my enthusiasm for the next episodes. Good to see all new entries all round regardless. Hard to almost keep up, Judges will have a genuinely harder time for this episode Anyway I found my answer to an earlier question and quote/unquote from mkjosha
  18. I would like to build more since the deadline is extended, but I am little confused about the amount of builds I can build. I believe I can only build a maximum of 2 because of my low rank, but I am not entirely sure, because as an example, I believe Aland created 4 or more builds, while those seemingly of higher rank has limited their number of builds . I am not sure if there is any breach of any rules and he may indeed be of a higher rank that I am unaware oft, or is there somewhere that says in Freebuild u can gain XP within the episode, and hence moved up the rank, to further build for official entries within the same episode. As an Imp, obviously i have a natural bias towards Imps :), I believe the builds from Imps fare generally better in quality but feels somehow less in quantity because of the the perception above. I would love to add to the Imps count of course :)

    [SoNE Ep.6] Mission BHH Leg 2 - Ord Mantell

    I must say I like this build a lot for its originality - subtle details and the various droid parts.
  20. Thanks all. Will endeavour to make another bigger system scale ver 2.0 down the road, and perhaps a dreadnought-class even further down Who knows?
