Pointblank

Thanks all for your nice comments. Between the 2 entries, this is the simpler to build, but the outcome looks better due to a more open approach. I will tweak this a little more to appear more junky, i had a version which had more, but felt a tad overwhelming. i may remove one stormie to allow for more junk.

Thank you one and all for the great comments and suggestions. I have taken them onboard and modified them accordingly. I may do some final tweaks, emphasis on May, as Im about 99% satisfied but this build is very sensitive due to the loose studs and tight spaces. I may spend time doing a freebuild instead just to offer a better backstory to PB. I enjoy how disco and markus did with their characters and their story telling.

Thanks mate. I will re-adjust the other build to take advantage of daylight. I have some time working@home today :)

Hi all, my part 1 and part 2 build is up. I am looking to do a freebuild, to provide an interior of the Intolerance (PB's designated ship). http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=99502 http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=99057 Comments and Criticisms welcomed as always :)

The entire build is on a 16x16, but not inclusive of the black boundary/frame. I thought that was excluded as nothing was build on it. It was interchangeable with my other build. Edit: I removed the frame, and now is completely on 16x16.

Edit: Close-to-final Version and Added Part 1. Need to do something about that border :)

Episode VI - The Hunter becomes the Hunted After a successful mission on Endor, the construction of the Shield Generator was finally put back on track. Much blood was spilled, many Ewoks were killed, and many habitats were razed in a record time to make way for the Shield Generator. However, there has been growing sympathisers within the Imperial ranks towards all things sentient, that found Pointblank’s methods extreme and ruthlessly efficient, and made several complaints towards the Imperial command. Pointblank was relegated to performing unofficial sideshow tricks and duties, but his recent actions on Endor did catch the eye of the more reclusive Imperal Survey Corps. Many missions came and gone with relative ease. Just today, a mission came up personally marked “For your EYES only” to PointBlank through the ranks from Lord Vader. This particular mission has roused the attention of PointBlank, only because it involves the hunt for the undoubtedly the greatest bounty hunter of all time – Boba Fett. The mission was to deliver a “Thank You” package to Boba Fett, from Lord Vader. The package came in a nicely wrapped unassuming box, and Pointblank’s surgically enhanced senses did pick up a soft ticking with the package. Not known for his inquisition, but known for his no-questions non-subtle way of performing duties, Pointblank disregards it and sets out to look for the fabled Boba Fett. On board of Intolerance, Pointblank has manage to track Boba Fett to a secret hideout on Ord Mantell (part 1) and quickly learnt that he may soon make the jump to Mon Calamari (part 2). However, he quickly found out through all the chatter in the bounty hunter channels that Pointblank is not alone in delivering a package to Boba Fett, and this has set Boba Fett on high alert and keeping a low jittery profile. That also meant that trouble may be expected in Pointblank’s quest to delivering the package. “Finally, I get to have some fun” Pointblank thinks to himself with a grin. Part 1 - Ord Mantell Expecting trouble, the imperial command has decided to send a crew with Pointblank to deliver the package on Ord Mantell on said location. Smug and overconfident as usual, Pointblank thinks that's an overkill, and didn't like that idea at all, as an entire crew will only send alerts throughout Ord Mantell... especially where Ord Mantell is ridden with Bounty Hunters, Spies and Information Brokers. It didn't take long to locate Boba's "secret" hideout. Given the fact that Ord Mantell is one of the more dangerous planets to be on, and Boba's known for this deadly prowess, Boba must have felt no need to hide his own abode. Boba's hideout was easily the most standout of any on Ord Mantell. It's dual storey was higher than most structures, had a proper skylight and proper pavements. However, hidden to most, Pointblank noticed security systems in what seems like a fort on close examination. A droid operated a body scanning system from high above, with the scanner hidden quite cleverly behind the bush. On the door itself, there's another retina scanner. To the left, Pointblank noticed a conspicuous container which looked like it may be remotely activated and may contain unfriendly contents. To the right of the door, a mechanical arm extended out of what seemed to be discarded tyres complete the abandoned non-threatening facade of the compound. What was suspicious was that the end of that arm was a chain saw, and it was not rusty at all, and seemed to have speckles of fresh blood on the blade. Pointblank stood at an angle away from the mechanical arm and pressed the doorbell, ever ready and not knowing what to expect ... Continued at...

Another awesome use of SNOTs and great capture of the overall Fondorian look!

Thats Awesome! :) Loving the use of tentacles and orange wheels.

Thanks. Oops. :) Will do. I thought since the first few is out, there isn't a need to rush things out, which I really didn't. I have made some revisions since, but I'd probably leave it nearing to the end all things considering then. I thought it better earlier to garner opinions and criticisms, and improve on them with every iteration. For sure, I will also move the Mon Calamari to fit into the 16x16 as well. Thank you Markus. A big fan of your work, hence I look to learning from you :)

An excellent Build, I like it very much, with the microscale A-Wing and the Planet ( I believe it may have been Kamino, but best choice out of the planet series to depict Mon calamiri), gives the entire 16x16 build a sense of scale. Good Job Goatman!

:) You are spot on. I editted the text before I could modify the picture, will defintely add that in :) Thanks for your comments appreciate it , it is still a WIP, I am not entirely happy with the water and jet pack effect, I envision something different, but can't find enough time to tweak it. Agreed on the Mon Calamiri dude, I will probably change that slope a little to create more space, and shift the top a little in, and perhaps a tiny conveyor belt to simulate the passageway.

Part 2 - Mon Calamari After the first unsuccessful stop at Ord Mantell (WIP), Pointblank decided to operate alone and have the element of surprise on Mon Calamari. Quickly getting into the Aquatic version of Penetrator (Drop Pod), the drop pod lands in water near the location where Boba Fett was thought to be. A Karkadon bounty hunter appeared near the drop area, and appears to be after Boba Fett too. Boba Fett, seeing Point Blank, launched himself out of the water, shot through a glass passageway and attempts to get into the compound. Pointblank does a quick eject underwater, and having Boba in his crosshairs of his pistol set to stun, the package is about to be delivered. “You are mine!” grins Pointblank. Continued at Part 3 - Bothawui Alternate Views Final Version Changes to previous 1) Kept to 16x16 by removing sloped pieces and increase overall water depth by 1 brick to allow for more visibility into underwater scenery, and also allow mid-section cut-off (half above half under) of Pointblank 2) Added NEW base, more underwater plants, underwater air bubbles and a clam. 3) Changed Pointblank uniform for underwater gear, changed Karkadon gear and Mon Calamari gear to Stormtrooper attire 4) Added more details on Penetrator, and more details on glassed walkway above water. 5) Fixed missing gun on Pointblank :) 6) Attempted better photography Thanks, comments and criticisms are welcomed.

Imps are on the roll! :) Looking to get something up this weekend, after weeks of business travel. I have already got the premise and background up. Likely do 1 x Freebuild, 1 x Ord Mantell and 1 x Mon Calamiri

Great! time to get cracking!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL................. Awesome Job, mstrofPppts ,,,!!! I am very impressed. Now if we can almost do this as a result at the end of every episode, I know that's asking a wee bit too much! :P Official Scoretaker of those who participate in that episode, that would certainly drive participation up.

Yeah, upon closer examination, yes it is :) No worries, no offense taken :)

The MTT was spot on from a similar video in the same episode series, and hence I am just sharing the possibility based on that. No need to get all sarcastic and fiesty, hence I am posting in this thread, thank you very much.

The new released Star Wars video on youtube Lego Channel seems to support a new Millennium Falcon and also a possible new AT-ST, especially since the new MTT was rumoured before release due to a similar video. Although from another video, the side of the MF looks very similar to the 10179, perhaps its not a new one after all.

I got to admit Math isn't Empire's strong suit, but it really depends on whats being counted. For one, I track the number of Rebel Scum, and furry little creatures I have helped decimate... hehehehhehe... For the Empire! To be honest, I am here to have fun and express myself creatively through my love for Lego and Star Wars. Getting the community to participate is more important and fun. I joined the Empire thinking the Rebel has outdone the Empire many a time. Points (and Rank) do not matter much to me, it's virtual anyway, even if it means taking 100 submissions to get 100 points, I am fine with that, that's me though. RL has already too many things to be concerned about, don't wish for none of that here...

Awesome! A new spin to the much loved b-wing!

Rebels is set between episode III and IV, to link to episode VII might be very remote or difficult, without having to disrupt the much loved OT. I am almost certain that episode VII will feature a new Sith Villian, albeit a small role in the grander scheme of 7,8,9 - much like Darth Maul in Phantom. But a Star Wars movie without a Jedi (protagonist) and Sith (antagonist) characters wont feel like a Star Wars movie at all. I'm not saying it won't work story-wise, but Disney is all about making tons of money, and I doubt they will allow that. That's potentially millions in dollars loss in light saber toy sales ( who wants a rainbow coloured light saber by [xxxx] character ) :)

Gratz to the Imps! So to be clear, the scores = XP yes? :P That said and my first tag, I look forward to the next episode...

I doubt the PT will re-appear. Reason for that is that there are the standalone movies from Star Wars which will look to fill in the gaps, and these may mean more variation of the Slave 1, and/or Millennium Falcon. By which time, Episode 10 will be back, very much the marvel movie format. There won't be a year without some form of star wars movie, plus very likely an accompanying filler type animated series, which will take over from Rebels in 2-3 years time.

Awesome. Join the Empire! :) Yeah... that must be it! Or is this another jedi mind trick? :P
