Great competition guys, can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. I'm not sure if I'll have time to submit something this time round: been working on a new forum game and I've lots of stuff to get sorted at home before Xmas. I've been tryin to build my contribution to Eskallon's EB Venator and have only got the cannon so far I've been so busy! I'll see what I can do like, but it might not be the taking part but the watching that's the fun this time round Good luck to everyone!

Well, I'm glad you've had so many heart warming comments to spare for me in the last 24hrs... from name calling to this. A shot in the dark if ever I've heard one. I'm not offended - just disheartened: confusion is exactly where the wieners want us to be. Just look at the Sheridan-Antares debacle that has unfolded before our eyes! As you all know, the Lt. Commander and I have never been the best of friends throughout everything that's gone on here - that's plain to see. Originally, I was jealous of Michael's relationship with her. Then I was jealous of her relationship with Michael. What can I say: I'm fickle... but that's by the by. Susan's actions to me have seemed rash and may or may not have meant the deaths of innocents. That still may or may not have been her fault as it appears everyone has been led along like here, like boy scouts to a wiener infested picnic; but conversations with others strengthened my resolve against her somewhat... for a while. Sheridan's 'theories' that firstly I am a wiener and secondly capable of infecting others are absurd: Initially I had much to say, gripped by panic, looking for someone to turn to. However, I realised that I had to watch, listen and learn this game... of life, before I jump to conclusions. All talk and guess-based accusations has resulted in too many deaths already. And then Michael suggest thats there has been some kind of wiener spreading activity based purely on his own unsupported conjecture, completely lacking any evidence, scientific or otherwise (unless there's something incredibly important we don't know - Ivanova?). That aside, I've shared conversation, conjecture and thoughts with by fellow uninfected... I was one of La'h'Rok's confidants. I can vouch for my own uninfected stautus, but his other confidants, Khrum and Leo, I can't. I just hoped, blindly, that they were safe. The fact that La'h'Rok shared his status with either could have led to his death... I'm not sure. La'h'Rok had shared his suspicions with me about Ivan - who has wronged Sheridan - and of course, Susan. Before this, I'd spoken with Engofi, who had concerns about Jad - correct concerns. I feel like a fool for being led into the decision to throw him out the airlock. I'd spoken with Florentzia - who I'm sure is uninfected and also relayed her correct concerns about Jad. The departed Sarah had also believed this. Now I believe this conflict between Sheridan and Antares may be blinding us to the real wieners here and I will make my choice, not to be led but to honestly try and vote for one who I believe is a wiener... I vote: Ivan / Darth Legois. Based on my own suspicions and those of others, who I trust... and trusted.

How dare you talk to me like that *SLAP*! I might look like a stereotypical blonde but it doesn't give you reason to treat me like a bimbo and talk down to me! You may have changed your mind about Wicwa in the time it took me to respond but you certainly hadn't made this clear for all to see. I think it would hetter if your response had been fairer rather than jumping down my throat! Incidentaly I purposely quoted out of order not to confuse - it's clear to see precisely who said what and at which time - but to connect the relevant quotes to the relevant people. Your suspicions of me may be growing but not mine of you. I'm sure you're uninfected. Now I just feel let down by your manner towards me

No! Not La'h'rok! And damn you all for murdering poor Engofi... and me too for my part in that heinous decision! How can I live with myself... *Looks out window hatch to see Engofi's cold body floating off into the void* ...poor Engofi! I should have listened to my heart when he told me he was innocent. It's about time some of you started being more straight with me, and with everyone else! Considering his complete failure to provide you with what you required, wouldn't that be a logical choice? Ivan now Wicwa? Make your mind up, Michael! So far I've heard nothing that casts a shadow on Wicwa and her own admission that she is neutral should be taken stock of. The liars amongst are crew are far more capable than that! That's a damn good question. And one that should be answered Susan... Apart from when you apparently blocked La'h'rok? Why is there such an issue with Wicwa now? This seems like another witch hunt that'll get another innocent thrown into space! And there seems to be a lot of mixed feeling about your role on this ship Susan. You need to start being straight with some of us - your life may depend on it as it has so many others. I absolutely trusted him and now he's gone. La'h'rok had given me so much hope. I was so scared of being alone when this first started... all I wanted was the warmth of hope. Now, time and again all I found is coldness. Like the coldest depths of space. I can only try and believe that the remaining uninfected can unite together against the wiener menace.

Michael! How rude! I've been an active part of this debacle; maybe not so much as some of the others, but some of us have only our wits to rely on here and at times I've been a little more reserved with what I say while I listen. I've been in contact with several of our shipmates throughout, trying to figure out who has been lying to me - to all of us - throughout this. Though it goes against my nature to vote someone to their death, and despite his protestations, I must concur with the groups only course of action and vote: Engofi / Eskallon. I'll never forgive myself - or any of you - if he's innocent...

Brickshelf is rockin' again, yey! I've updated the first post with some pictures. Enjoy!

Actually I quite like Luminara's LEGO counterpart. True her face could be a little more accurate, but it's not all that bad. And I really like her head-piece! My main problem is the LUL-factor... those figures never did it for me and hamper customisability. I'd love to see her rereleased sans LUL - maybe with a newer face too?

Please, everyone! Get a hold of yourselves! I think voting for Engofi is a grave mistake! We talked before about his suspiscions of Jad Suur - who turned out to be infected. He also mentioned his suspicions of another... Not only that, bear in mind what Barney has said: I always believed (and still do) that Florentzia was uninfected... Sarah too. Sadly I believe Sarah's baby may have been infected which led to so much confusion... and her ultimate demise... poor Sarah *sob*. And the poor doctor... he was like an uncle to me... It seems to me that the main body of infected lie within those who have always been quick to vote and those who have orchestrated much of the voting. Michael, as chief of security it is your mandate to gain as much information from people as possible. I was suspiscious of you initially but think you have been misled... and may still be the victim of the most heinous deception... not just from our cook, Ivan... but from Lt. Cmdr. Antares. It seems to me that the wieners were smart enough to destabalise our command structure by murdering the captain and infecting the Lt. Cmdr. Much lead has been given by your votes Susan, or should I call you... wiener queen! Only to happily to lead others into blindly voting for the uninfected... and now voting someone potentially championing the uninfected's cause. Please people, wake up! Already it seems we have former crewmates who are clearly infected here. As such, this earth-girl has to take action. Vote: Shadows/Lt. Cmdr. Antares

I meant the rebel Hoth trooper in the top right. Not the rebel pilot. It looks like a new head accessory.

New battlepacks look great! Anyone notice that the rebel Hoth trooper in the top right corner of the box has a face cover? The new helmets have two sets of dimples where you can vary adding face accessories

Cheers for the feedback everyone! To address a few points: Defo! Adding a stand was pretty unavoidable with the construction technique I used, but I'm already thinking of an alternate way to joint the legs without harming the aesthetic too much. I'm also working on my section of the EB community Venator build too and coming up with alternate landing gear for my Z-95. Got a lot on the go at the moment! Was planning to kick some reviews into gear too. Thanks very much ADHO! I already have my shiny new badge! Oh yeah! A quick edit will correct that. Brickshelf users the world over are probably sulking at the moment.

Hey everyone, To celebrate my 500th post I wanted to build something a bit special. There’s so much awesome material to work form in the Star Wars universe and the Clone Wars series has seen some fantastic new additions to the repertoire of vehicles and droids we know and love. So after building my AV-7 from the battle of Christophsis, I decided to dip into C.I.S. territory and build a Techno Union Tri-droid! +++ Techno Union Tri-Droid +++ +++ Side +++ +++ Close-ups +++ The Tri-Droid's spherical head... ...and yes, it does spin! +++ The Tri-Droid towers over all! +++ Anakin drops in for the attack! I stuck closely to reference from the Clone Wars film, and equipped it with heavy laser cannons as opposed to artillery cannons. It’s still somewhat a work-in-progress as between taking the photos and posting them I’ve been thinking about alternate ways to connect legs to body - so it can stand on it's own - and other different design tweaks. For now I’m fairly happy with how it looks. Now I just need ADHO to make this 'legal' in his Clone Conflict game... More photos are here when moderated. Let me know what you think, comments and criticism appreciated as always!

Just stay well away from the kitchens and sharp implements from now on! People are under a lot of pressure and seem to be confusing you with an Earth vegetable you poor thing! Poor Florentzia seems like the victim of a witch hunt to me. She hasn't given me any reason to believe she is infected at all, though her decision to vote Jad Suur was a little rash in my opinion. But it doesn't make her a bad person, just afraid, like the rest of us. If I'm wrong and she's infected then I'm a terrible judge of character. At this time is presented the perfect opporunity for those evil wieners to anonymously vote non-infected shipmates out the airlock. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of voters are infected - especially if, as someone suggested, they might know who the non-infectied are. Engofi - I'm sure her comments about your contact was just a mistake on her part. We don't know how much people have been talking behind the scenes and it's easy to get confused at a time like this. I wish someone knew something more. What can we do with so little to go on?! We're playing with the lives of innocent shipmates here! Someone... hold me.

Someone's put a lot for 8056, 8058 and 8060 up on eBay at a shamelessly expensive price...

Look's like someone is looking to make a quick buck profiteering from pre-release of 8188 and 8189 here...

Ach! Beat me to it... He looks brilliant Lars. The level of detail you've manged to get in there is superb - right down to his nostril shapes and his irises. The little (Exoforce?) sticker is a nice touch too. Good work dude!

Excellent, glad to hear it! Additionally I noticed that the head on the R2 unit (in the ARC-170) appears to be metallic silver? Don't kmow if that's been mentioned before.

Greatv find Pi! My thoughts Freeco Speeder - Really like this! Very sleek, nice clean design. Maybe a little sticker heavy but they add a lot to it. And is that a 1 x 3 tile I spot under the windscreen? The talz figure is cool, be interesting to see an army of them! Multiple purchases ahoy! All we need now is cold weather Obi-Wan, clones, etc... Droid Tri-fighter - Looks really nice and solid; an improvement over the original but not vast. The rocket battle droids are what they are I guess, the commander doesn't necessarily make it a seller. I agree with Mr. Mandalorian that printed markings would've been better suited to the tan BD's who make up the vast majority of our CIS armies... Tie Defender - Nice to see more TIEs in shades of bley - gives me hope for a new standard TIE fighter. The Defender itself is pretty cool, I prefer the Interceptor though. The new TIE pilot is cool his helmet looks great and adds that extra level of authenticity. I suspect it might be at a higher price point which means for me it'll come second to other purchases. ARC-170 - Every time I look at this I'm feeling that bit more sold on it! I've been resisting due to owning the original, but this version does look that bit better, more sleek and solid looking; and it comes with those great new figs. Absolute agreement that it should've been 3 clone pilots, but then we might get more in a battlepack someday.

Good work Cole, i really like your 112th MOCs. The hangar looks especially solid and detailed - have you considered taking part in Eskallon's Venator community build? i reckon you'd be able to make a gret contribution. Could be something related to your own 112th legion onboard the Venator too

That's a great start dude, your buildings really look the part! All you need is a bit of set dressing, props and the like. A vaporator or 2 would probably look great in your scene. Commandr Neyo's Illegal Business battle pack has some great ideas which might serve as inspiration for you - check it out here!

Cheers JB! The pistols at the back are the rear blaster cannons. The lack of armour at the front is just the way the BARC is - speeder bikes in general don't offer their rider very much protection at the best of times! Check out the BARC's wookiepedia entry here

Worry not! Having a fishtank on your head is a good look - it's all the rage on, er... which planet do you come from?!

Lt. Cmdr, I didn't mean to be inflamatory with my words. I'd hoped you'd be at your quarters last night and was disappointed when you weren't. Not only that it led me to feel suspiscious... who can blame a girl in a time like this?! I sincerely hope we reach a resoluation to this soon. It fills me with hope to think that someone might be on track to putting things right. Not silly! At university I completed a degree in Xeno-biology. Personally, I'd use a laser-scapel for surgery on our larger, sturdier shipmates. I abstain from violence, so don't carry a blaster. 'Make (Lots of) Love Not War' has always been my way. Anyone on this ship has access to kitchen knives, not just the kitchen staff. And let's not forget anyone could have taken a large bladed weapon amongst thier possessions - maybe not initially for such heinous use - but that's how it may have panned out It seems that command staff would be a likely target for the infiltrators. As I've heard say "Cut off the head and the rest of the creature dies..." *shudder*...

Man, such an impressive diorama... it's a joy to pour over all the character and detail. There's so many highlight to this I wouldn't know where to begin in listing them. Just know that your work is truly appreciated - every one of your creations is superb! I'd say keep up the great work but I know you will, you never disappoint!

Sylann, those variable configuration wings are much better! I'm sure your happier with them too. I think maybe the front wedge shape was better first time around - or maybe it just needs a bit of weaking to close those gaps - it's still great looking fighter
