Gotta go with Unkar's Thug as well. Not too fond of the "character", but the figure is just very versatile.

Too bad about the embedding not working? Because that's a cool little build you've got there and deserves to be seen! Great job and that story needs some kind of closure, I really wonder how that scene would play out.

First Order Stormtrooper Officer

Completely agree on this one. I have a lot of medieval stuff, but after Nar Eurbrikka I didn't want to join Historica because I knew I couldn't handle two Lego building RPGs at once. A collab challenge once in a while would be fantastic and I would definitely want to participate. Also, should that happen, there should be like a global announcement thread throughout the entire board. As I don't play it, I rarely visit the Historica forums nowadays and I also rarely get to see the front page of Eurobricks since I have directly bookmarked the forum index on all my devices.

Fellow players, before I move on to the actual episode, I wanted to thank each and everyone of you for contributing to this fun game. As we are nearing what seems to be a climax of at least this story arc of Nar Eurbrikka, I thought it would be a good opportunity to celebrate this cool event with some special content. I hope you enjoy it: Click here if Youtube doesn't work (likely to happen on mobile) for an alternate host. That was a good deal of fun and put me in the right mood for this episode. So please enjoy this as well: Story portion: Raw BTS images:

Neat! Too bad about the image quality, lots of noise usually point towards a low light setting (and perhaps a mobile phone or web camera). Maybe adding some lighting through a desk lamp or something could help with that. If there's nothing like that available, use direct or indirect sunlight shining through the window. Also, setting up some kind of reflector to catch more light and send it back to your scene can be helpful, too. Something as simple as kitchenfoil can reflect a great deal of light back on your build. About the build, I like how you did the doors and the minifig posing is well done. Also, that cyborg with the 3PO head cracked me up for some reason. Cool stuff!

Looks fantastic so far. Can't wait to read the story behind it!

Great and impressive effort! The Vanquisher is quite something and really impresses with its mighty look. I can totally see this be a major ISB vessel used by the Empire. I really like that it looks something half-way between a regular Star Destroyer and a Super Star Destroyer and the dark color scheme practically screams espionage and intelligence. Very well done. Also, the fact that the hangar can hold a couple of miniature TIEs is a great detail! Last but not least, you are using a very high-quality render for some images (unfortunately not all, but I assume that the rendering takes quite some time). The lightning on the overheating TIE Aggressor is a nice touch as well.

Looks amazing! And I like the narrative. Well done!

I'll go with the Star Destroyer. Because out of this batch, it's the one that resembles what it's meant to be the most and suffers the least cosmetic damage due to its microfighter nature, whereas other ships that I like way more like the Falcon or the X-Wing get deformed to the point of sheer ugliness in my opinion. In that regard, the Clone Turbo Tank would be my 2nd choice.

Quoted for the truth of it. When I noticed how (relatively) many spambots are active on EB, I wondered if I should make a topic about it. But then again, my first reaction to a bot spam is to report it, and with how quickly those posts vanish, I thought, why bother? Also, turned out later that in a thread about it, the team specifically asked to simply report the bots and not discuss the topic further... Overall, for what little time I have been here (compared to other boards where I have a posting history of well over a decade), I cannot complain about anything. To be fair, I can be a smartass sometimes and oh boy, did some mods on certain boards got to feel that. But here, I haven't had any troubles so far. Sure, I am not exactly engaging in lengthy discussions or anything, but rather concentrating on Lego / Star Wars topics and quick feedback on builds, but all the time I've felt like my input and my contribution on this board is welcome and constructive, and that's precisely what I want it to be. I've had the pleasant surprise to receive a special tag very soon when I demonstrated my affection for customizing, and I had another positive experience when I asked for my username to be changed and it was OK'ed without any hassle. So far, I am only still waiting for my Star Wars tag and I've noticed that from time to time, it can take a little while for moderators (speaking of Star Wars / Nar Eurbrikka mainly here) to get back to requests, but when that happens, it is due to lots of activity and work on their end. It seems that when something's overlooked or tackled at a later time, it is simply because there's a lot to do, and unlike some other forums, I've never felt like my requests were being outright ignored or not paid any attention to. So yeah, in short, add another of those unneeded pads on the backs, because I think you guys deserve them.

Tusken Raider, because of the head mould.

Thanks for the extension. I don't know if I will build something, but I thought that it was a great contest concept to begin with, but the deadline was way too close with the Nar Eurbrikka deadline for me to even consider entering. Now, it's different. I might give it a shot when Episode XV is finished!

Another thing I want to point out about this build (aside from the lovely ship interior which you added pictures of), is that the photography is very well done. Especially with Thrawn's control room. You succeeded in making this a very effective build in that it is pretty small, yet due to the photography, it never feels cut off or disconnected, but does indeed feel like a bigger control room. I was actually surprised how small and simple the actual build of the room was, it somehow looks more spacious in the cinematic shots. The same principle applies to the outside shots with E.T. . Due to the clever use of camera angles and the blue baseplates as a sky, it really looks like a wide valley. Good job!

Amazing, creative and detailled. Outstanding job, and authentically written!

Hey, that's the new season, I don't know anything about that :D Also, it might be ugly, but it has a lot of valuable parts! @Tariq j Thank you!

Thanks for your kind words @VaderFan2187 Hey, what's wrong with the Freemakers?

Thank you a lot! Yeah, I've been waiting to use the Freemakers for a while And since the time should be pretty much the same as after their first season, I thought it was appropriate to have them appear within the Rebel ranks.

Hello there! As the 15th episode's deadline is quickly approaching, I still have to set a few things up, story-wise, so let me please present a little freebuild today before moving on to bigger things later this week! I stay true to my tradition and tell my build's story comic-style – there's speech bubbles and lots of shots, detailing actions and characters, so please give it a look. If you have missed the previous chapters, feel free to give them a shot (they're a quick read, I promise): Episode 0 – The Introduction Episode XII – Den Of The Dragon XII-I – Sowing The Seed Episode XIII – Quantum Of Sunrise XIII-I - Quite A Mercenary Episode XIV - Day Of The Spectacle And here, the new chapter: XIV-I – Welcome to the Rebellion Behind the scenes: Feedback and c&c is always welcome! Also, please judge this freebuild.

Depends on the glue, but I think it should be durable enough to use it fairly regularly. Don't throw it against the wall or anything. And just for the record, I am speaking highly theoretically here, because I haven't done any cutting/glueing myself with Legos.

@Rustinidiel I cannot think of any, not in the shape you desire. But it occured to me that instead of cutting the ears from the mask, it might be a viable option to rather cut off the upper part of the mask itself and then, possibly using sandpaper, start remove the unneeded parts of the mask layer by layer... and maybe even have the ears still be connected by a very thin layer of plastic, so they retain their original position and relation to each other. That way, you could more easily retain the parts that you want and apply the ears in perfect relation to each other. I made a short animation to show the creation process that I have in mind: Maybe that works best. You need to be willing to sacrifce a whole Batman mask, but that's inevitable anyway.

Interesting project, but I imagine it requires quite some skill to pull it off. Especially if you plan to cut things and reattach them somewhere else. Maybe you will want to practice on something simpler in order to get a feeling for what you're doing and gather some experience with cutting and glueing? 3D-printing would be an option, but I think it will be expensive for something so small. However, if you contact a 3D-printing service, they should have people working in the 3D modelling department, too. So if they can import LDD models from both the Iron Man helmet and the Batman mask, merging them the way you imagine should not be a big deal for them. If you decide to go the customizing route, here's just a handful of thoughts that would cross my mind if I were to tackle a project like that: - Have spare Batman masks. The chance to perfectly cut off the ears and reattach them to the Iron Man helmet at the first try are slim at best and practically zero at worst. - The ears are very small. Find a way to cut them off in a thin, clean line, with as little damage as possible. A knife or scissors will not to. Maybe watch some Youtube tutorials to find out how other people do it. - You will want a clean-cut underside to reattach the ears to another surface. Be prepared to use some sandpaper soft enough to work with Lego in order to smoothen the cut surface. - Make sure to google or take measurements of the Iron Man helmet and to mark the exact locations where the ears will be attached in a symmetrical fashion, so you don't have to worry about that when you are already applying the glue to the ears and then start guessing where to put them best. You want to pull this off with as much mathematical precision as you can in order to get a symmetrical result. - Two weeks ago, @Wardancer made a topic with a lot of valuable insight about messing with Lego and glueing. Read it! It might make you aware of some potential problems before you run into them yourself. - Glue first, paint later. A good paint job might even be able to hide a few shortcomings from the glueing job.

Very neat! While I do respect big and elaborate builds, I also like when something is more scaled down to the proportions of an official playset release, and your work does that perfectly! I could really see this being an official set, though TLG doesn't seem too keen to release a big amount of minifigs with a set like that. Great job, very Lego-esque!

Wow, fantastic job! The sliding door can be operated by wheel? That's an awesome detail! Well done with the fig posing and the photography, too!
