Hello! Nice idea updating an older set to the newer themes and colour schemes. I also think that the older model / your update is superior to the newer model. The building style of older days had much more charcter in my eyes, so thumbs up for your vehicle! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Great movie poster! Captures the feeling of ancient scifi movies extremely well. I really hope we learn more about your storyline and will see more images from your movie. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Very good-looking figure, indeed. Trying to answer the original question, I guess your General Veers best goes without headset, as all headset minifigure heads would not have this typical face expression, unfortunately. Here is a list with all minifigure heads with headset, just for the record. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Very sleek design you're presenting to us here. It looks very maneuverable and aerodynamic. Maybe you want to add some more details on the underside. It looks a bit unfinished with the lonely 2x3 inverted slope and the very abrupt gap after it. Maybe attack some 1x2 jumper plates to flatten the slop a bit or attach some nice landing gar after it. I am sure you have plenty of ideas. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello, and welcome to these fine boards! Those gunship/dropships look pretty nice. Are they two identical ones? Did you buy those instructions from the brickstruct homepage? Have a good time here! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! I am a great fan of the "Classic Star Wars" comic series which is one of the best in my eyes. I instantly recognized the name in the topic title and hoped it would be this huge walker from the comic. An excellent representation providing the perfect spirit of the comic story. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! The lion heads are already a great start to make this an original and individual fireplace design. I'd like to roast some marshmellows now. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello Ralph! Very impressive once again! I am very fond of all the half stud withs you have used all over this model. Especially the shape of the doors is remarkable. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Nice ship! The pull-apart-technique is nice and reminds me to the Blacktron II series which I liked much. Maybe you't like to replace the last of the 4x4 dishes of each rocket booster with a transparent-red one to induce some engine glowing. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Nice assembly! The hinge plates in the background make a great futuristic wall design. Good technique! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! A treasury of ideas to disover you are presenting to us. The bookshelf is really nice with those tiles as books exactly fitting into the grid, and I appreciate all the nice characters you assembled for the scenery. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! A nice idea! Maybe some dark red/orange filter would work great to get an even better "Mars feeling". Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello everyone, and thank you for the nice welcome back! It's great to see all the great people again. I'll try to present more new models in near future, but the amount of Expanded Universe (EU) models from computer games, books, etc. will probably increase as official stuff from the movies gets more rare these days. Well, let's agree to disagree? I don't think that the Theta shuttle wings have anything in common with the ones you see in this model. The Theta's wings are sloped backwards while these are sloped in the opposite direction. The Theta has holes in the wings unlike for the Jedi shuttle. And finally the Theta has an additional wing angle at the broad end at the hull, while the Jedi shuttle has an extra corner at the wing tip. I think the designs are completely different. But maybe it's a predecessor anyway, as we can't know what the storywriters really intended. Yes, you're right, dark red pieces are still somewhat rare. The inverted slope is from an older animal designer set (4884 - Wild Hunters) but appeared in four other sets as well. Even more rare, however, is the dark red 1x3 TECHNIC® beam. Thanks again for you comments, which are highly appreciated. Have a good start into the new week! ~ Christopher

Hello! A very detailed hangar fraction you're presenting to us here. You mentioned you used glow-in-the-dark pieces, so now I am curious how it looks in the dark with glowing pieces. Is there an image of that yet? Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Very detailed and smooth design! The perfect highspeed ground interceptor. The colour scheme is well chosen and the technic pins make excellent detailed guns by one piece. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! Nicely humorous scene! "Enraged Wookie sighted in Sharewood Forest!" would be a nice wanted poster pinned on a tree if the brave forestmen had seen a Wookie before. Great little setup! Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello! It's amazing to see more western creations recently. And your green store is really a gain for the theme. My favourite details are also the little cacti being in bloom. Cheers, ~ Christopher

Hello again! Seems you've been busy recently. But you've spent your time well! That's a lovely playset layout having every aspect of playability of a nice medium-sized set. As mentioned before, the red stagecoach ia truly a highlight! Cheers, ~ Chris

Hello Klaus-Dieter! Your western town is growing, and that's great to see! Now your town has its own social centre where all the music, drinking and brawling can take place. The blue colour makes it easily locatable for every new kid in town. Cheers, ~ Chris

Hello! You really managed to breathe life into the bricks! It looks formidable and can assume any pose of a real horse. You almost can hear it neighing. Cheers, ~ Chris

Hello! The techniques you used to turn one model into a completely different one by only moving hinges are remarkable. Only a precisely fitting construction will do the trick, and it works out smoothly here. Very impressive. Cheers, ~ Chris

Hello! A very nice idea. The underside looks a bit plain, so I'd like to suggest using some TECHNIC® bricks with holes or bricks with studs on more than one side giving you the possibility to add some landing thrusters or whatever greeblies you like. Cheers, ~ Chris

Hello everybody! So, herewith I am reporting back from a two months absence. I finished studying and started my first job in a different town including a complete apartment move. That's the story in short for those who wonder who I am or those who didn't read my break announcement. I am certainly glad to be back on the forums. I really missed them. By slowly coming back into routined life again, I am happy to present a new model to you today. It's the Jedi Ambassadorial Shuttle from the second season of the animated Clone Wars TV series introduced during the episode "Grievous Intrigue". Let's start with the images first today. The shuttle adds another design to the family of tri-winged shuttles, and has the typical colour code of the Old Republic. A detail of all tri-winged shuttles is their unique wing shape with this one being no exception. Unlike the Theta- or Nu- shuttle classes, the Jedi Ambassadorial Shuttle features three identical wings. This required an attempt to build a similar design with plates (side wings) and bricks (top wing). It will take some time until I read through all the new topics I missed, so please be patient with me. Again, I am glad to be back among you all! See you around! Yours Christopher.

Hello dear community! As some of you may have noticed, my presence on these fine boards was very limited during the last weeks. I might not be able to post that many new models in the near future. Due to my difficult real life situtaion with finishing university, starting a new job starting soon, house moving, I feel quite burned out. The pressure from all sides is more that I can handle. Hence I won't have much time for our all favourite hobby. I am sorry should I disappoint you. -------------------- Today, there's fortunately some time left to show you a new model. It's the BTL-B Y-Wing Starfighter from the Clone Wars animated TV series. The BTL-B is different from the successor models BTL-S3 and BTL-A4 which you know from the Rebellion Era. The older version has fully covered engines and a dome for the gun tower. The bricked model uses a SNOT technique, allowing the attchment of 1x3 and 1x4 curved slopes which resemble the sleek curves of the design. While the 1x4 curved slopes are attched from the outside to give the rounded front wedge section with the cockpit, the 1x3 cruved slopes are attached from the inside to give the support for the engine fuselage. As BrickShelf is again very slow in updating, I'll post all images here. Instructions can be found directly on http://sw.deckdesigns.de. I will of course provide the BrickShelf gallery link once moderated. -------------------- With that I am done for today. Thank you for your interest and stepping by. Take care all, Christopher

Hello again, and thanks everyone for the kind words. I hope to post some new Star Wars models this week-end. Cheers, ~ Christopher
