OK, then. Just to make sure does a TIE interceptor counts as a beginning vehicle? -
I'd also like to be part of the PM.
-
I have another question: does my pilot have to fly a generic TIE fighter/bomber/interceptor? I know post-Endor fighters are an obvious no, but I wanted to fly a TIE Experimental Mk2.

Made this for a freebuild for SoNE. The build won't be ready for about a week since I need some parts from Bricklink in order to finish this Headhunter as well as another (the other one will be smaller, have four engines, and be gray; in other words, a more "Rebel-like'" version), and improve my currently horrendously ugly Tie Fighter. The cockpit and the unnervingly cheerful pilot. A sight my TIE pilot will never get to see. The cones on the engines aren't canon, but I think it gives it a more clone-wars feel. The engines. When the BL order comes in, it'll have authentic pink exhaust. Until then, my camera is rebelling by taking blurry pictures of them. The wing-tip blaster. My second-most favorite part. Has anyone else wondered where the proton torpedo launchers were? I mean, Episode IV didn't show the X-Wing when the torpedoes were being launched, and there aren't any visible exit ports on the fighter to my knowledge. And here's my most favorite part: the back panel flips down to reveal the engine... ...which comes out for maintenance. Or, you know, if you need to jettison the engine so you can have less weight mid-flight That's it. Overall, I'm really pleased with how this turned out

I've always loved the TIE Defender. Since I didn't have any TIE cockpit pieces at the time of this build, I just made a drone. The engines. I imagine it must be very fast.

He's a new member so he may just be lookin' for a way to get more posts.
-
I have indeed, it's made me rethink space combat.
-
You are correct, though I am not familiar with landing gear so it might take a few iterations.
-
Sorry, but this is also deconstructed. I have to take my MOCs apart regularly else I'll soon run out of LEGOs, and most of the MOCs I've been uploading lately are older ones.

My own spin on the AT-DP from Star Wars rebels. This one has an artillery cannon. In artillery mode. While not as powerful as a SPHAT, the AT-DP mkII is far more mobile and can easily handle engagements with infantry or light vehicles, making it far more versitile. I wonder if how the Battle of Endor would've went if the Empire had these... The pilots. In full drive. Not a pretty sight to see for a rebel

Here's my invasion fleet! Other than the star destroyer, all of these ships are MOCs. The ISD itself has some mods; the extra turbolasers towards the front, the proton beam weapon in the middle (the orange dot) and the bridge was changed from ISD II style to the venerable ISD I, aka Imperator. A close-up on one of the acclamtors. I like how it turned out overall; it may not be extremely accurate, but it's my first attempt at the ship. The Acclamator's engines. Again, not extremely accurate (they're supposed to be lower.) One of my personal favorites, an Immobilizer 418. If you can't tell, I just prettied up an old Midi-scale star destroyer Just a little picket ship I threw together. That's it. Look out rebels!

Boy are y'all in for a treat tonight! I got a LOT of work done today, enjoy! Here's the AT-STs and speeders that the shuttle will carry. If you want I can take more pictures of them tomorrow, but I'm too tired to do so now. I bet you're wondering how the shuttle can carry 'em... Ta-da! I think I'll just let the image speak for itself. A closer look at how the AT-STs are attached. Here's the engines. Now instead of turning an ugly crank you can turn the center engines... ...and down go the wings! An anti-fighter autoturret. A closer shot of the back turret. A better shot of the crew area. I'm pretending the snow troopers are actually "E-web" troopers that wear heavier armour to protect them while their setting up the E-web gun, that way I can justify using them with my other troops. That's it for today, folks! UPDATE: Here's the minfigs on the other side. Here's the infantry captain and armor captain posing next to the battle computer. The infantry captain is just an imperial admiral with an imperial navy helmet. It may look strange to some, but it should make sense to us Empire at War players.
-
You're right: that's why this is my own design. Also, the shuttle will be a lot bigger than is now (don't worry, the AT-STs are minifig scale.) I'll upload a new log later today.
-
Sorry, I had one but it was blurry and this ship is long deconstructed.
-
Heh...I suppose in-character introductions are a little overdue ... Pilot KDY reporting for duty, Captain Erdbeeris, sir!

Figured I wanted to make somethin' like a Sentinel-class Shuttle to carry all the shiny stormtroopers I got for Christmas, but since 1. I don't have the correct color or shape of colors to make a perfect Sentinel and 2. I also wanted my shuttle to carry AT-STs, I decided to go my own way with this. So, here is construction log one: As you can see, I have a tidy little gearbox that the wings are attatched to. Here's the crank that operates it (I'll turn it in to something prettier later.) And here's with the wings folded down. That's it for today! Come back tomorrow for more!

The Terminus-class Destroyer was a medium frigate used by the Galactic Empire during the Great War. It was used to support Harrower-class Dreadnoughts in large engagements or operate as a ship of the line in smaller skirmishes. The main bridge and shield generators. The engines as well as a pretty space background (yes, the starboard turbolasers are floating ) Unlike many other imperial ships of its time, the Terminus was designed mainly with speed in mind for flanking maneuvers, however it is still much better armed than any comparable republic ship (remind me again how on earth the empire lost?) The front mounted turbolasers (I call 'em muzzle-mounted whiskers ) A better shot of the wing-mounted turbolasers. The secondary bridge. Woosh! That's it! This is probably one of my favorite MOC's ever .

I'll just use flickr. Thanks for the help and may the rebels quake in terror of your approach!
-
Yeah, I was lazy at MOCpages so you'll have a lot of shiny new ships once I get home. So we can't just upload pictures off our computer?
-
Some of my creations are on MOC pages (under Mark Simmons), and I want to start uploading to this is site.

Hey guys! So, here's my dilemma: I really want to participate in this awesome challenge, but my LEGO selection is pretty much limited to gray and white with the odd plant. Do y'all have any advice as to I can make good dioramas without being able to make the scenery y'all have?
-
Thanks! Will do.
-
Oh and I have a VERY limited variety LEGOs; lots of gray, some white and a little foliage. Any ideas on how I can do dioramas on par with the stuff I see here with that selection? E.g. I have an idea for the podrace competition, my pilot will deliver an advanced TIE-grade engine to a Sullustan pilot...but I don't know how to make it look any good without any authentic Tatooine scenery 'n stuff.
-
Is it too late to join? If not, I'd like to join as a TIE pilot, and I'll go as KDY since being referred to as Kuat Drive Yards is a little strange...
-
Great job! Lots of stuff goin' on, really looks like a factory!
