    Thank you so very much! I really wasn’t sure how to give it that underwater feel as I finished the interior but the spur of the moment squid fit right in. Im so glad to hear the different figure actions were noticeable, it’s always hard to structure randomness!

    The build looks awesome and immediately recognizable! Plus that Luthen is absolutely perfect

    Thank you so much! Saw right through it I see hahah, I was struggling with a name so I thought id do a George Lucas and use a real world non english word for my Star Wars creation, so a quick google search later Sualti Casino came into being

    So awesome to hear! funny thing is it wasn't all that relaxing to put together hahah Thank you so much! Im very happy the action works so well, it was something I was worried might not translate very well but I was super happy with the end result. I have certainly been planning on revisiting Theed with an entirely new moc but this one has already been taken apart and the parts returned to the collection.

    Thank you so very much! and no offense taken whatsoever, Im very new to the story and am still trying to get a sense of it. I will say I'm very glad to learn the overarching story is legends, I was operating under the assumption it was disney canon, hence New Republic dominated Naboo, and a chaotic Coruscant. Im very happy to be a part of the story! I greatly Appreciate it and I am very glad to be back! That was one of my major questions, I read we can build in any grid controlled by our chosen faction and we can earn points for our faction. But can we build on planets controlled by other factions or that are unaffiliated and receive no points? Thank you so much for the help and I am very excited to continue my story. Thank you so much!

    Sold Out on Naboo Having spent years as an Intelligence Officer, Captain Screed had managed to cultivate a number of useful contacts throughout the galaxy. These sources of information, although far from loyal, served as valuable assets, particularly in the new chaotic and unpredictable post Imperial period. One such informant was a Spice Trader, Tak Fordo, who had taken up residence on Naboo following the fall of the Empire. In an attempt to reconnect with other wayward Imperials, Screed felt the homeworld of the slain Emperor was a good place to begin his search. However, upon making contact with Fordo, he quickly learned that not only was this search going to be more difficult than he had originally believed, but his efforts under the Empire had not gone unnoticed and the New Republic had put a decent bounty on his head. Betrayed on Naboo by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr Betrayed on Naboo by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr Betrayed on Naboo by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr Betrayed on Naboo by Nicholas Goodman, on Flickr After fighting off the New Republic forces sent to take him into custody, Screed and his Stormtroopers successfully returned to their ship. As they took off, he thought about where they should go next in their continuing search for fellow imperials. As he watched the blue and green planet of Naboo shrinking into the distance, a memory of an imprisoned defector from the time of the empire came back to him. His pilot asked “Where to, Captain?” Screed replied “Coruscant.”

    @Math Wizard With an absolutely thorough critique of my and many other's builds, nestled within an enjoyable to read 'criticism sandwich' I felt Captain Crit was an excellent critic in this contest.

    Thank you so much! and im not sure if I will ever make instructions but I do plan on doing a deep dive review video of the MOC, which will definitely show quite a lot of how it all came together. I cant believe I didn't think of that myself, I took a pretty good look at that remake to see how LEGO went about updating the baseplate, its actually where I got the idea for the ramp as opposed to overlayed wedge plates like I was planning originally. It would've been great to get some inspiration for the crane from there. I so greatly appreciate it! and I must say the rock work not only dominates the visual, it dominated the build time. It took forever to get through. I really wanted to represent the original set as much as possible but I will admit I might've built up the rock work a bit too much. I really wanted to raise the Trading Post as much as possible from the water but looking at it it does overshadow the Boat and Dock quite a bit more than I would have liked. Oh yeah that Chameleon looks so great for the jungle environments, it came with the CMF Johnny Thunder remake figure. Also I am very happy you like that rolled up sail, it was a last minute addition after numerous failed attempts at building a brick built unfurled one. That is so very kind of you to say, It truly took a lot of time and effort, and I am very happy with the finished product. Getting to enter and awesome contest like this is always fun but getting to truly go all out, especially with a pirate themed MOC is even better.

    You are spot on, I took them from the CMF Royal Guard figure. Thank you for sharing those with me, I had really struggled coming up with a design I was happy with and that one particularly looks super good, I definitely would have gone that route had I seen it before starting this build. Now that I have had some time since I finished it I do kind of wish I had gone back and done it.

    Thank you so much! Those rounded corners are actually quite simple, they just weaken the buildings overall stability a bit. I really like the counter weight idea, that definitely would have added a more realistic feel to the crane. I so greatly appreciate it! I actually did consider creating some structural damage once I came up with the idea of a battle scene. The only issue was it was rather late in the build process and I couldn't bring myself to start ripping apart buildings that I liked so much. However, I must say it would certainly have added so much to the feel of a chaotic raid. Thank you! I am very glad it is reminiscent of those old Classic Sets I really wanted to recreate the Imperial Trading Post in a very updated and realistic style without looking too different from the original set. I would normally, had this been a standard moc, most likely have gone with a more natural pathway as opposed to simply using LBG, however I was very determined to stay faithful to the original set and its gray baseplate and I had already changed too many things. I must say that it is certainly one of my least favorite elements of the MOC. I had originally planned on omitting it completely, particularly due to the fact that I did not recreate the second half of the Imperial Trading Post, the Dock/Seawall area. I decided to include it just to keep as many elements from the original set included in this recreation.
