[SoNE Freebuild] "The Escape"
James Wellington replied to James Wellington's topic in Nar Eurbrikka Archive
Thank you. I'm not quite sure 100 percent how the XP thing works, how you get it from the judges, when they judge, how they give you points, etc.- 8 replies

Ah, alright. I did get them out a little fast, but I worked really hard to try to get my story out there. Those silly blaster malfunctunctions -
[SoNE Freebuild] "Beginning Factor"
James Wellington replied to James Wellington's topic in Nar Eurbrikka Archive
Ah. Yes, this was sort of a "test" and the first one. I tried my best to make all the others as good as possible. -
*NOTE* This is my first Eurobricks New Topic! Please, PLEASE make it clear to me if I did anything wrong, or you have any concerns, picture shots, building, characters, etc. Comments are really appreciated, they help me to better perform next time. Here we go! INTRODUCTION: Imperial Star Destroyer "Tyrant", Brick System, 2 ABY. SONEe1s1 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Imperial Crewman: Sir, the stormtrooper squad has arrived. Hanger Bay 3. SONEe1s2 by BrickJamesWells, on FlickrCaptain Vars: Excellent, I will go to greet them. Lieutenant, you have the bridge. -Down in Hanger 3- SONEe1s3 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr------------------------------------------------------- Stormtrooper "B-Squad" has arrived on the Star Destroyer. They have been called by Captain Vars to get briefed and prepared for the mission. The B-Squad is compromised of it's 4 main members, Sergeant Trans, their leader, Darek Stens, a highly skilled, bragging, mean member of the team, Dan Jars, a skilled Stormtrooper, friend of our main character. And, last off, James, the newest member of B-Squad, Stormtrooper Corporal. Struggling to fit in, but still skilled. ------------------------------------------------------- Sergeant Trans: Men, prepare to be greeted by Captain Vars. I want you all to be on your best behaviour in front of him. B-Squad: Yes, Sir! SONEe1s4 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Captain Vars: Hello B-Squad. D-Squad Members: Hello, Sir! SONEe1s5 by BrickJamesWells, on FlickrCaptain Vars: It's very good to have you on the ship. You will leave for your mission in a few days, so we must do a final briefing now. Follow me. SONEe1s6 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Sergeant Trans: Let's move it, troops! -B-Squad proceeds with the Captain- SONEe1s7 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Dan Jars: James, come on, you alive? We have a briefing to get to, keep with the group! James: Oh, yes, right. Sorry, I was thinking. Dans Jars: If you think too long in the Empire, you have big chances of getting killed. C'mon, newby! SONEe1s8 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Captain Vars: Ah, here we are. SONEe1s9 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Captain Vars: B-Squad, please proceed into the communications and briefing room. SONEe1s10 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr James: We've been briefed on this plan for weeks, is this necessary? Captain Vars: It very well is, if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail. SONEe1s11 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Captain Vars: Now, listen up closely. I will review one last time. There is a secret rebel station here. Your shuttle will take you just off of scanner range, and you will move in, secure the station, and reclaim the all important Imperial Codes at all costs. SONEe1s12 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Captain Vars: You have been entrusted with a very tough mission, yes, but I do believe B-Squad can prevail. Don't let me down. SONEe1s13 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Captain Vars: I think we have almost everything set, but don't forget your training, and retrieve those Imperial Cod- -Door Opens- SONEe1s14 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Imperial Officer: Sorry to interrupt, Captain, but there is an urgent transmission for you from Admiral Brickton, you are required on the bridge immediately. Captain Vars: Alright, thank you, Lieutenant. I will be up momentarily. SONEe1s15 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Captain Vars: Alright men, I will check back on you later. Get some rest for now, it's been a long day. SONEe1s16 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Sergeant Trans: I'll be off. Remember the plan, and we'll get back together later. For now, I think you boys deserve a rest. Maybe even explore the ship? We'll be on it for a while before and after the mission. If we survive, of course. I know we can do it, though. See you boys later. James: Bye, sir! Sergeant Trans: Goodbye. -Moments later- SONEe1s17 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Darek Stens: Watch it, newby! Heh, I bet you won't even survive the first few seconds of battle. See you later, young one. James: Hey! Don't push me! Darek Stens: You make me laugh, newby. I could do this all day, but I'll be off. Hmf. SONEe1s18 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Dan Jars: Don't worry about Darek, he just thinks he's the best. But, he's really not. He's just the type that picks on newbies like you. However, you're actually quite skilled. I know you'll be a useful member of the team, no matter how new. I know I can trust you in battle. James: Thanks, Dan. Well, I guess I'll be off. I got to start thinking about the mission, and training. I'll see you later. Bye. Dans Jars: Bye, James. SONEe1s19 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr James: Hopefully luck will come my way. SONEe1s20 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr SONEe1s21 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr -Episode 1 Complete, I'll try to get the second episode out sometime next week. Thank you for watching- Excuse some flaws in the writing, such as some of the words or characters names behind "Flickr", and I'll make the images bigger next time. If you'd like to see it a big bigger, please click the flickr link. Thank you for understanding.

[SoNE Freebuild] "The Meeting"
James Wellington replied to James Wellington's topic in Nar Eurbrikka Archive
Thank you all for your comments. The Rebels Stormtroopers don't look as nice as the newer original trilogy ones, but they're in so little, and at that expensive sets, and in low numbers. I will try to get some soon from eBay, bricklink and the Star Destroyer, but for now these will have to do.- 10 replies

Best versions of Star Wars minifigs?
James Wellington replied to KingPixels's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Death Star Troopers are hand picked Imperial Navy Troopers to work on the Death Star. Also, I see now that they're both accurate. However the 2014 one is still my favorite. -
Best versions of Star Wars minifigs?
James Wellington replied to KingPixels's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Why is there so much talk about Imperial Navy Troopers? All I'm saying is that I like the 2014 one better, however, the 2012 one is more accurate to the movie ones (except for the other side of the face with the visor, I never saw them with that). -
Best versions of Star Wars minifigs?
James Wellington replied to KingPixels's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Those are the guys I'm talking about. Yes, I do agree with you. They are sort of Guards, and crewman that work at control panels, etc. Although the 2012 Version may look a bit more like them, I somewhat like the newer one, just because to me it looks a bit nicer. I just ordered the newer one on Ebay, in fact. I have the face and older uniform to see what they both look like in real life, and then i'll really compare them to the movie ones, and I'll see which one looks closer. They are both guards, and control panel crewmen, but the black and grey crewman down in the pits of the Star Destroyer bridge are a bit different. Some of these guys might be in the bridge, too, only guarding the door to the bridge. -
Best versions of Star Wars minifigs?
James Wellington replied to KingPixels's topic in LEGO Star Wars
No, I did not. The Imperial Navy Troopers are the guys with the black helmets and jumpsuits. I was saying that I like the 2014 Star Destroyer Version, compared to the 2012 TIE Fighter one, and the even older Death Star/Battle of Endor one. The Imperial Crewmen are the grey jumpsuit crewmen of an Imperial Star Destroyer, Base, Battle Station, etc. However there was a microfighter one with the same jumpsuit and face, a black Imperial kepi hat, instead of a large helmet a Navy Trooper bears. They are, however different. There are two types of Imperial Crewmen, the black microfighter one that looks a lot like a Navy Trooper, and the 2014 Star Destroyer one, which is grey and has a newer Imperial Officer kepi. -

2014 Imperial Navy Trooper compared to the Death Star old one, and the 2012 one. -

LEGO Star Wars 2015 Pictures and Rumors
James Wellington replied to Erdbeereis's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Ah, I understand now. Can't wait until the new sets! I don't know about all of you, but summer's usually been the main time were I actually got excited for the new sets, Winter is good, too, but I think it's not as good as the Summer Sets. Although I could be wrong for Summer 2015, we'll just have to see. -
LEGO Star Wars 2015 Pictures and Rumors
James Wellington replied to Erdbeereis's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Does anyone know if these are the only Summer 2015 sets being released? Final Duel, Flash Speeder, Naboo Starfighter, Imperial Assault Carrier, and Shuttle Tydirium? -
[SoNE Freebuild] "Transmissions"
James Wellington replied to James Wellington's topic in Nar Eurbrikka Archive
Thank you guys. I tried my best to build an accurate Star Destroyer hallway. The scenes are a little small, and perhaps a bigger backdrop would help. I'll see what I can do. -
[SoNE Freebuild] "Transmissions"
James Wellington replied to James Wellington's topic in Nar Eurbrikka Archive
Glad you like the story so far. I agree with the camera thing. I will try and take your advice to improve my pictures and overall look of everything. -
Thank you! Really appreciated. I'll really try to see what I can do in making a bigger version of this, or a big version of something like this. As I start getting more bricks and pieces, I'll start branching out to bigger projects. Trust me, more are coming.

I decided to start out my first MOC as a small one. So I basically made up what I think a version of a small merchant ship would like like, maybe going to or from Coruscant. So here we are. Mer2 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Mer8 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Here's a look at some crew or friends of the merchant carrying some cargo. Mer4 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Some of the cargo capacity. Mer7 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Interior. Very basic controls and a seat. Can fit 1 crew member, and a bit of cargo inside the cockpit. Mer1 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr A look at it's simple, but effective engine. Mer5 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr An overview of the ship. (Sorry for the low quality picture, there). Mer9 by BrickJamesWells, on Flickr Lastly, a final frontal view of the ship. Thanks for looking! Please comment and criticize so I can improve next time, or if I can see if you liked it or not.

LEGO Star Wars 2015 Pictures and Rumors
James Wellington replied to Erdbeereis's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Quite excited for the Imperial Assault Carrier. I also have "okay" feelings about the shuttle Tydirium, but I think, depending on what it looks like, I'll get it. I also noticed LEGO has been trying to expand the universe into the Battle of Naboo lately, such as the Winter 2015 sets, and some of the upcoming summer sets. Anyway, I'll need to see them before I fully comment on them, and plan to get them, so lets hope for some images soon. -
[SoNE Freebuild] "Beginning Factor"
James Wellington replied to James Wellington's topic in Nar Eurbrikka Archive
I do believe I'm on the right side . Thank you for commenting, I tried to make my characters as likeable as possible. I understand I only have a few characters in the first episode, bad pictures, and lack of showing the MOC, but for next episode, I will try to my best abilities to being all the elements in a smooth blend, and try to make everyone that views it as happy as possible. I'll also have you know that I was quite inspired by your freebuilds, as well as a few other people. Partly the reason I decided to do this . -
[SoNE Freebuild] "Beginning Factor"
James Wellington replied to James Wellington's topic in Nar Eurbrikka Archive
I thank you for your comment. Thank you for your suggestions, and for pointing in some problems. I will try to manage the light better, and the "Star Destroyer" Hanger Bay, Communications Room, hallways, etc actually has way more detail, and next time I will really try to add more of the detail of the structure, for this post was merely a "test" if you'd like to call it that, and to get my character out there a bit. Now that I have the beginning story, with each SoNE Episode, I can focus on better adding detail to the structure, picture, lighting, etc. Also, next time I will not have the pictures so small. And I will fix the Sergeant thing. I assumed so, I know it is that way in real life, but in a few other SoNE Episodes, I saw some of the people call their Sergeants "Sir", so I assumed it MIGHT be different for Stormtroopers, being a completely different universe. I will take more time and detail next time, and I really thank for your post, so now I can make a better episode for next time, and show way more detail. -

Shadows of Nar Eurbrikka — Introduction and Discussion
James Wellington replied to Brickdoctor's topic in Nar Eurbrikka Archive
I'd really like to join in on this! Can someone place me as a stormtrooper or Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot, please? I'm not quite sure what a "sigfig" is, but I'll me happy to make one/take a picture of my personal Imperial Minifig, if that's what it is. Thanks! Ready to serve the Empire!
