I have to agree, claustrophobic feel really comes across well. Definitely one of your best builds yet!

Nice build! The jetpack trails work really well and the figures in general are great. You have captured the 'action-packed ambush' feel well. The landscaping definitely has some potential and it is good to see some detailed textures on the wall!

Thank you so much, really appreciate such detailed feedback. I wanted to make more of an effort to show the pyerce colour and avoid a repeating unit etc on the rock-work so I'm pleased to see they are details that stood out to you! Eadu wasn't a direct influence (though I can definitely see a similar style in the MOC) - I think quite a lot of general concept art I was looking at came from that scene though so it was probably something that was reflected by my design choices. Thanks!

As other have said, the architecture is nice, the stairs are great and the build does feel really spacious despite the small size restriction!

Love this, such a great urban scene, the smooth lines and colour choices really make it stand out!

Very nice, the togruta figure looks great and texture on the walls is nice too.

A nice set of three builds, I like how the doorways connect them together - having the build and storyline connected works really well!

Definitely got the vibe of mandalore! Nice to see all the different variations of mandalorian you have made and I'm always a interested by how you combine microscale and minifig scale in one scene!

This is absolutely amazing! The textures are great, the doorways are perfect and the whole thing captures the geonosis sequence really well!

*Your entry has earned 19 XP* Pyerce's secret base : Gorse Iher and Ke'hura Tadalg (a Drabatan gunslinger and one of the initiatives newer recruits) were first to attack. The came along a mountain pass to the west of the facility and began to make for the main entrance. Ke'hura let out a loud war cry as he fired on the unsuspecting technicians, making his way toward the control panel. Grokrut (the son of the Snogar chieftain I had met on Ota) scaled the rock face, making for the platform and eliminating the security. Altisalorn Neloi (a Abyssin who had served under the old empire) made for the lower entrance door, wrenching it open and losing his arm in the process (Abyssin have the rare ability to regenerate limbs which proves particularly useful). With the door opened, I rushed through, clearing the base of hostiles whilst the others captured the Pyerce general who was in charge and freed Triumvirate prisoners being held at the facility. The operation was a massive success, the base was taken with no casualties and minimal damage. The Triumvirs planned to use the facility for our own operations in the region but first all that hideous yellow marking needs removing - if Pyerce wants to stand out, he'd be better to have combat ready soldiers than cover every surface in his awful colour scheme. One of my proudest features in this build is the sliding door: A sliding door was a pretty crazy idea and something of a pain (building rock work around it was a very difficult thing to do). It looks cool but can jam occasionally and I can see why others haven't tried it. I also tried some more advanced platforms Inspiration: Mandalorian Chapter 12: Possibly my favourite of the new season with some great design. I figured nobody would make this scene (or the school [check out my there build on Sneeve]) and while I took a little artistic license, I hope that the influence is clear. This has been a build that has gone through a lot of variations but nothing has been changed more than the facility on top - it wad a pain to get right but the final result was inspired by a mix of the above and the endor bunker. Figures: Farantros,Grokrut (little link back to Sneeve), Altisalorn Neloi, Ke'hura Tadalg (Mandrake head seemed perfect and managed to get my hands on 4 of them), Iher Thanks for getting to the end, I know there were a lot of pictures but this has been a pretty mammoth task: 1.5 months of pretty solid building with most of my collection of greys used and a 34x32x39 final result hopefully should be enough to do even better than my previous best score of 13XP. Special thanks to all the guys over at the Triumvirate who have helped me with a couple of design choices along the way and given me feedback and @RocketBoy whose photography guide has proved really helpful - if you haven't checked it out already then make sure to (this didn't fit in my old lightbox so photography has required some experimentation. Not perfect but a work in progress)! As ever feedback is appreciated.

As other have said, the troop transport is amazing and the landscaping works really well too!

A nice little festive build!

Awesome! The technic pieces work really well and (as ever) the crate designs are fantastic!

A wonderful festive build for the Triumvirate's Life Day collaboration. Love the not so subtle reference to Fnab!

Love this build! The stripes really pop against the tan wall and the window design looks great. The figures in this are awesome as well, the guard is amazing and it is so cool to see the return of Djina from the Can Can.

Thanks, always enjoy finding new ways to use minifigure legs so I was pretty happy with the tree design.

Thanks everyone, chapter 12 was probably my favourite of the new season and had such great design that it has inspired a lot of my recent builds. It really was fun to make a scene without any combat or even weapons - maybe something that I will continue in the future.

Thanks, the landing pad was definitely a challenge to make - I didn't have enough to make it octagonal [or whatever shape it would be] so I had to find a way to make the sides joining it straight. Glad you guys like it!

Definitely one of your best smaller builds, captures the aesthetic of Mustafar well. I would have loved see a drip of lava coming down the side but that said the landscape is great. Kinda disappointed that you didn't link this to the 'Bright Star' it is an ancient relic that is integral to Mustafar as a planet and has the power over life energy [definitely along the lines of immortality]. The story was as ever great though. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Bright_Star

Nice build, cool to see you assembling a squad and interested to see how your story will progress.

Nice, the vegetation looks great and the build definitely has a nice homestead aesthetic.

Awesome, the round building looks great and those jetpacks are really good!

*Your entry has earned 6 XP* (school is another separate build, to be scored as that build separately) X-3PO: Did you ever hear the Legend of Darth Krampus the Cruel? Class: No! X-3PO: I thought not. It's only a story that is told on Life Day you see. It is a Sith Life Day legend. Darth Krampus was a dark lord of the Sith, so cruel and so sinister that he decided to reward the most evil of children every Life Day... It is said that many years ago, before the republic itself, Darth Krampus first started the tradition, leaving presents in the boots of those sith children who were particularly cruel and mean. For those children he left all sorts of sith toys: from thermal detonators and torture droids to blasters and rotary cannons. But those children who were too meek and kind received the necessary punishment. For them there was not even any Kyber Coal, instead he took them back to his fortress as blood sacrifices for ancient sith rituals. So cruel was Darth Krampus that soon the only children left on the planet were those who would make perfect sith troopers, obedient only to his command. It is said that even now, the force ghost of Darth Krampus will leave presents in the boots of the cruelest children as a reward for those who embrace the true power of the Dark Side. Continuing the tradition from last year, the Triumvirate are back with a series of festive builds, this year we decided to do dark side/imperial traditions and so my part is the telling of festive stories. After seeing the Gotal design the idea of Krampus came to mind and as such here is my retelling of a classic festive legend through the slightly sinister and warped perspective of the sith. I hope that you like it and a happy Life Day to all of you and your families. 2020 has been a great year for building with all of you and here's hoping the year to come will be even better. [One further note, apologies to the CFS, with these builds I should finally be able to take Q10, but I have to say that you guys have really put up a fight - there really have been times when I thought that I wouldn't have much chance of being able to take this sector. In the end, this has been a personal project for me and as such, I really have put my heart and soul into these builds. I hope that in the future, can get on a bit better and put this conflict behind us ( though I will retaliate against any aggressive actions in Q10 ). Regardless, well done to you guys, I know a lot of effort has gone into this sector on both sides.]

*Your entry has earned 5 XP* The New Republic was doomed to start from its beginning. Not just in the obvious ways: it military weakness, corruption or lack of legitimacy. It was failing in other ways too. The empire had provided a educational curriculum to teach it young citizens on almost every planet, with protocol droids programmed to deliver a range of lessons and updated regularly. In contrast, the New Republic had an ineffective curriculum and was only available to those who were willing to travel into the interior to get their droids updated. As such, most rural villages in the outer rim simply kept their imperial era teaching droids and so most children were brought up with lessons that glorified the empire and criticised the rebellion. As a result, it was easy for the Triumvirate to win the support in some of these outer rim planets. Sneeve was no exception - with most settlements still educating according to imperial ideals and values...
