Kodan Black

I like the story but the lab is my favorite part. Love the microscope and that interestingly named laser too.

I suspect you have a spy in your midst with that coffee cup! I really dig the wheel which attaches to the overhead controls, cool touch. The land crawler is awesome. The back/engine part in particular is well detailed, but even just the shaping is very nice. Plus always great to have Chogg make an appearance.

Love that view of the surface. That is a very different angle and approach to underwater scenery!

This turned out even better than how you described it! I love all the ships and the repair one especially. Great story as usual, too bad pombie had such a short stay.

Incredible greebling, the door and wall both are so full of little details!

Some very useful parts this time around. Jealous of that huge PAB wall though, the one at my store is 1/2 that size.

Location: F10 Arium Major Tags: Science, Land Vehicle // PERSONAL DIARY // So as it turns out the turtles were actually the infant state of some aliens that inhabited Arium Major. The babies had made a distress call which just so happened to mess with human brains in a weird way. I guess they were nervous because from the signal intercepts they had gotten one corporation seemed to eat anything they could get their hands on, another corporation was of a warrior culture and therefore a threat, and as for our own corporation they feared we would take them as pets. Which I feigned surprise at and explained that as a scientist I was simply attempting to better observe them. It turns out that these aliens, they called themselves "Ter Tahls", lived underground on Arium Major because they liked to keep a humid environment. They also hoped it would keep our corporations from bothering them. Surprisingly they let ED-208 keep his gun as they took us into their subterranean living space. I guess the fact that we were massively outnumbered meant they were pretty secure in allowing him that bit of security. Once underground one of their elders, "Tor Tuss", came to guide us around. He explained that they had learned our language while studying us and from the signals they had intercepted. I was excited to tell him all about Dr. Long and how great she was and how he had to meet her because I was sure she would be so happy to help his species. He nodded and said there would be time for such things later. I was a bit disappointed because I wanted to show her all of this and tell her right away so she would know and be impressed with what I had discovered. I would off course leave off the psychotic episode I had where I imagined her with flames shooting out of her hand. And the panda. The Ter Tahls had a very advanced setup underground, it was quite impressive. I was sure that Dr. Long would love to learn more for our own scientific knowledge. Maybe we could even leverage their knowledge for the betterment of our own species! We headed out onto a landing platform and awaited a supply skiff that would take us to another part where Tor wanted to show us more of their incredible facility. Though we were vastly outnumbered and quite alone with an alien species, having ED-208 with me was reassuring. It was good to have a companion on this journey. And I knew just how excited Dr. Long would be and how valuable she would find me after I reported all of this to her! Extra Pics:

Whoa, I like that vehicle. Nice usage of the scaffolding for the frame of it! The cockpit with the lights around it and the big chunky tires give it just the right vibe too!

Well that is gorgeous and huge! So amazing.

Nice, great humor and the wall looks fantastic. Very Empire to have the floor so shiny too!

Very nice, I like that you have some stuff on the exterior too. One minor critique is that in your screenshot the wall "art" on either side of Vader is the same, but in yours it is unique per wall. But a great MOC!

That courtyard is really well done. The right splashes of color to break it up without standing out too much. I'm pleasantly surprised at the full interior though it is a shame it wasn't worked into the story somehow. Very nice photo work with the overhead depth-of-field pics!

The builds are incredible not just for their sheer size, but all the components that go into each shot. All the ships, the minifigs and their placement ... so many details that have to be considered. An incredible work as always.

Incredible story and builds to accompany... especially that microbuild view out the window. Wow, the Nebulon and the B-wings!

Wow that terrain is amazing. The speeder has a nice shape and some cool racecar-like features such as the headrest which looks kinda F1. Next time I'd suggest pointing the front canards down both for the visual interest, but also because I initially missed them due to the angle of the shot.

Nice build and great that there are more Pandas in play. I'm not sure if all the pandas are related or not, but I do know that pombe and I used pandas independent of each other and for us it was pure coincidence.

That is a nice representation of a fantastic little fighter (that with much upgrading is still flying in Brazil today)!

Cool laser ... thing on the right. Nice computer analysis station out back too. The opening freezer has some neat detailing inside also, often that stuff gets overlooked so it was nice to see it wasn't just blank inside.

Great dialogue as always and a cool compact drill vehicle.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! You'll find out more in my next build.

I love the story as always, but the grill and heart shaped beds are the true highlight for me.

Location: F10 Arium Major Tags: Science, Land Vehicle // PERSONAL DIARY // ED-208 and I had finally narrowed down the location on Arium Major to a fairly specific spot. We decided to really get it to a narrow location we needed to head out on foot. I grabbed the detector and he kept an eye out for trouble. After a few minutes we reached a beach and the detector started going crazy, we had found the spot! Except it was just some turtles. I put down my detector and picked up one of the cute little fellas. Even ED-208 admitted they were "surprisingly non-murder inducing". The little guy didn't seem to mind me handling him and I even thought of grabbing one as a pet. But I also wondered how the detector had shown such a strong signal from this spot that just had turtles. It wasn't possible that the listening posts had been sending the signal right to these little cuties! ED-208 asked me if I was aware of the sound the turtles were emitting. At first I thought he was joking as everyone knows turtles don't make any sound. But then he said it appeared to be at a frequency that would "negatively impact the human brain, most likely causing delusional hallucinations." I laughed and told him the little baby turtles wouldn't mess up my head, that maybe the sea air had caused a malfunction in HIS brain! That is when he said "Oh, maybe these guys can tell us what is going on. I bet the noise summoned them." And as I turned I saw Dr. Long standing there with ... a panda? I asked "What are you doing here Dr. Long? And what is up with that panda? And why are you shooting flames from your hand?" ED-208 then said: "Yeah, no way those baby turtles mess with your head!" I wasn't sure what he was talking about or why he was being so glib when there was clearly some sort of weird situation here. I mean, I can't ever remember Dr. Long having a PANDA! Extra Pics:

Very amusing. I really like the door design you have there. Everything comes together nicely here.
