Yeah, that is a nice ACV!

Nice to see a new recruit! Check the first page of this thread. Any country name that says available by it can be played. Look at the map and choose one of those where the environment suits your building style. e.g. Deserts, forests, large towns. Alternatively look at the separate stories and choose which one you want to get involved in!

Another great representation of an iconic scene!

An SUV http://WMC-5 by marvelBoy123, on Flickr It has working front steering and suspension, opening doors, an opening boot, space for a driver and a passenger as well as a large storage area for supplies (it could also fit two injured soldiers on stretchers. The vehicle is experimental with different camo patterns on each side (some are pixel cams, some lines, others more classical). It has non functional details too such as the turret, windscreen wipers, smoke grenade launchers and a raised rear exhaust allowing it to travel through deep water. It is based off the Eagle IV and I will use it for the GBW at some point. I would love any feedback!

Some really nice builds @Nom Carver especially liking that attack helicopter!

Sounds cool, looking forward to seeing how it will play out. Happy New Year everyone!

I don't know, it is certainly a good idea to have a generalised one, but we are 232 pages in and if we opened it up we would lose so many great designs - it already takes forever to look back at old designs without tons more random ones on top of that. Personally I think that a general one would be better separately!

Nice storyline and some great details, especially liking the barbed wire!

I love the roof and skylights on this build and the truck is nice too!

Map Grid L7 We had received the call from the BoN and had been partnered with Bandaud on our mission. Our diplomatic relations in the past had been strained to say the least but the president was keen to make amends and put aside our differences to ensure stability in the region. We quickly established that in this joint venture, we would do a recon of the area before Bandaud's forces detonated the facility, making sure to avoid contamination. We had brought along a TK-72FX, a reliable main battle tank that had been tested in North of Alsarh which had similarly snowy terrain. It was a good vehicle for the job with winter camo and advanced NBC protection - just in case something went wrong... http://IMG_20191229_142913413_HDR-01 by marvelBoy123, on Flickr The recon went smoothly and we gave Bandaud the all clear for approach and demolition. This has been a pretty quick build as Christmas has been pretty hectic. I have tried to get as much snow detailing as possible and the areas I have managed I am really happy with. Obviously the Tank is the star of the show and you can see a sci-fi variant on my flickr as part of Space Jam so go and check that out. I won't be building as much in the new year as I have started building for factions too, but still expect a few builds. Hope you have all had a good Christmas and a Happy 2020 to you all!

Nice little festive build! Merry Christmas!

Brilliant build and such an accurate recreation of the suit!

Very cool recreation of such an iconic location, good job!

Agreed, nice build!

The platform is nice and that vegetation looks really cool and overgrown, great build!

Probably, though maybe non-wookies have different celebrations during the winter months...

*Your entry has earned 2 XP* Sqr Ldr Farantros narrative: It was almost christmas and I was surprised to be woken by a knock at the door. It was Fnab Bibbly, a pleasant diplomat who I had shared the shuttle out to Scarif with! My new apartment was all set up for Christmas, I had even hung my stormtrooper boot by the fireplace and Fnab looked suitably festive too - wearing a wintery jumper like me (despite the sweltering weather). He had a present in his hands which he passed to me with a cheerful 'Merry Christmas'. I opened it, remembering christmas as a child and was overjoyed to find that his gift for me was a vintage issue Darth Vader bust. Luckily, I had a present for him too, a 'legendary conquers of Hoth' photo album, with all the original pictures. We then stood in good cheer together, drinking Bantha milk and reminiscing of our past year and the glory days of the empire. What a great Christmas it was turning out to be! http://Festive Fun by marvelBoy123, on Flickr http://Festive Fun by marvelBoy123, on Flickr I hope you like my little Christmas gift and please take a closer look at the scene there are a lot of hidden details. Merry Christmas!

I agree completely, I'll post my christmas build later and post it also on scarif for character consistency!

Brilliant, so much detail as ever!

Thanks, glad you like it! I haven't seen the mandalorian but I had heard that there was a devaronian in it, I built the figure a while back because I really like all the alien species and this seemed the perfect part combination. The Figrin D'an poster is perhaps my favourite custom part that I have although I do like the dark side cookies cereal box - you will see this at some point later

They should be images via the BBC code, if you are talking about the small blue link behind the pics whenever I try changing the name of that text the links do not work. Yes the parts are custom, made by the amazing firestartoys, a uk based company with all sorts of quirky star wars designs including star wars cereal boxes and a boba fett surfboard. Really would recommend checking them out!

*Your entry has earned 6 XP (x2 for limited challenge)* Sqr Ldr Farantros narrative: Nixor was a dump of a planet, but strategically important to our leadership and I was nobody to question that. I'd only just arrived and already there was action... some pirates who we had driven out of Nanth'ri had taken a stand in one of the spaceports storage rooms. Grabbing my blaster and dragging a couple of stormtroopers with me I headed to the scene of the action. Needless to say it was a quick battle, their defence was meager and their weaponry outdated not to mention the fact that they were already drunk - I showed no mercy for that is how things should be. http://Nixor : Spaceports and Landspeeders [2] by marvelBoy123, on Flickr We had recently acquired the spaceport and were quickly modernising it I was told, the main immigration room was getting a fresh lick of paint and the rennovations looked promising but I could tell that the staff would be a nightmare. The stormtrooper at the desk was playing space invaders on the ancient computer in front of him and I had to shout at him to get on with checking visitors in. http://Nixor : Spaceports and Landspeeders [3] by marvelBoy123, on Flickr http://Nixor : Spaceports and Landspeeders [4] by marvelBoy123, on Flickr Finally, once everything was running smoothly, I could get away from the spaceport complex and into the local town. I had joined the Triumvirate with the hope of rising up the ranks and this might be my chance: a Rodian smuggler named Teeko who held influence on many nearby planets including Rishi which rumour said was of strategic importance. We met at one of his bars and he arrived in a vintage EY-7 landspeeder. It had been in his family for generations and it was said that he was a connoisseur of landspeeders both old and new. As soon as I found that out, I rushed to pick up the latest issue of 'What Speeder?' as a gift. The meeting went well and after some casual conversation we got to business. We struck a very good deal: we bought supplies from him in Nixor and in return he would help us expand our influence on the planet. I left feeling pleased - a couple more jobs like this and I might get a promotion! http://Nixor : Spaceports and Landspeeders [5] by marvelBoy123, on Flickr http://Nixor : Spaceports and Landspeeders [6] by marvelBoy123, on Flickr This has been another fun series of builds and I have tried to push myself out of my comfort zone, experimenting with new techniques. I am really happy with how the builds have gone especially the first one. I would love any feedback that you have both positive or constructive!
