The dynamics and composition here are so great and dramatic. Great job.

Yeah, this rules. Good job making them all fit with a single aesthetic. And that load-lifter is great! Love the idea of Clan Eldar butting heads with local raiders. I can't imagine the raiders coming out the victors, in that scenario...

This is really great! I love the tiling and the action. We'd love to have you over at the Factions RPG subforum, if you're interested in joining a game.

Just an all-around solid build. The wall and floor texturing are so choice.

Thanks everybody!

This one rules, it has such a great street race vibe. The arch is magnificent and those bikes are awesome, and your story made me laugh. Love that we're leaning into the zany.

Do you think I'd get a fairer score on the build itself if I took it out of the contest? I'm willing to do that. Obviously the bulk of the work went into the build itself, so I don't want to gip myself out of being rewarded for that because the swoops are (comparatively) just background content.

I absolutely love all the details, the extras, the whole atmosphere. It gives me that early-2000s Star Wars game/Fast and Furious feel I want from a Swoop race. Really incredible vibe work, Bjorn. I dont think I've made anything yet that wasnt fragile. I know the stress lol.

*Your entry has earned 14 XP (x2 for limited challenge)* Iridonia, the gateway to the Outer Rim. The red sphere was a dry, harsh world, the home to the hardy Zabrak. The Zabrak had a centuries-long tradition of hyperspace trade, rivalries with the Duros, and a shareholder’s slice of the pie when it came to making decisions about hyperspace tariffs. Their homeworld’s placement provided leverage, leverage that the current regime was glad to exploit. The House of Kesh had ruled Iridonia for decades. Lord Kesh had proven himself a violent, unstable, vain tyrant who murdered outsiders and made his own people slaves. The rest of the galaxy might have ignored this, but Kesh also made a habit of choking the Coruscant-Dantooine hyperlanes. Hitting people’s bottom lines was a good way to draw their attention. For over a month, a growing team of CFS diplomats had been hunkered down on Iridonia to try to negotiate a deal with its government, working to arrive at some sort of agreement, both among themselves and the Iridonian leadership. Everyone in the room had different priorities: some represented the CFS Merchant Core and just wanted to relax tariffs, others had the plight of the people in mind. Some wanted to take Kesh before a trial, deal with things peacefully. Others at the table would rather see him dead. A sandstorm of intrigue surrounded the diplomats since the moment they arrived. Spies hung on every corner and doorway: CFS spies and Iridonian spies, and spies working for individual diplomats, advancing causes unbeknownst to their colleagues. While the gears of diplomacy grinded on, some had initiated more direct action. Forgun Bohani had been the third diplomat to arrive in the Iridonian court. He was a clever old man, always watching and listening, who found himself on the side of a peaceful transition of power. He had listened to the bickering in the court long enough to decide a fresh voice was needed. He knew exactly who to summon: a young diplomat who had negotiated terms at Kril’Dor after the Pyerce insurrection, a rising star named Lan Honn. Honn seemed intelligent, studious, and honorable, precisely what was needed here. Bohani sent a message asking for the young man's help, offering himself as a sponsor. The Noble Lan Honn encounters the rascal Dak Sirah Background Extras Build Photos Thanks to the CFS community, and the wider SWFactions community for all the feedback. Thanks for your time!

*Your entry has earned 10 XP (x2 for limited challenge)* The love of Swoop racing brought the people of Iridonia together like nothing else could. It was also when they were happiest with their despotic ruler, so there were a lot of races. And who knows what kind of espionage was happening behind the scenes? A race was a pretty good time to get things done without anyone noticing. What kind of tampering and untampering might have happened in the garages? What conversations in private boxes overheard? What important things disappear while the populace flock to the circuit? The tyrant Kesh started the race with a lordly wave of his hand. It would go on for hours. Not a bad window for some skullduggery . . . “AND WE'RE RIGHT IN THE THICK OF IT, FRIENDS! If you're tuning in or just emerged from a spice-laden coma, this is the exciting, high-flying, skin-ripping, pulse-pounding Kathadi Classic, and I'm your dazzling announcer: Jabric Kooms! We've got drama at turn 19! With Joddi Samor on his tail, Captain Pheonix is coming up behind Abalel and he's going for the pass, friends! It's the narrowest part of the track, and a hairpin turn; a dangerous time to try to get ahead! He's accelerating...he's coming up on Abalel's left...will they smash into each other? You might see some wreckage today, friends! He's creeping up...ooh, I can't watch. But I will anyway! So narrow! So close! So likely to turn into a dramatic fireball! But...but...ooh my! I can't believe it, he's done it! The noble and mysterious Captain Pheonix has broken into 4th place, sending Abalel back to 5th! What a risk! What a payoff! What a move!” The Racers

Love the mini-bikes and the whole concept. Poor, dumb Rodian.

Both bikes are so distinct, I love them equally. That terrain is great too, I like the greebles and posts and whatnot.

The terrain and story set the scene well. I feel swept away. And that second bike especially rules. I love the 50s inspiration.

Love the bikes. The terrain and the dirt spray is fantastic. Nice use of those Exo-Force robot parts.

The story is great! I love that whole vibe. The clouds are beautiful and both speeders are looking nice. The bright green engine fire looks a little whacky, might look better in blue or orange? If I have anything to quibble about, it's your photography. It doesn't always do your builds justice. Maybe look into running your picture through one of those editing programs (there are even a few sites) that can auto-fix your white balance? I think that and tweaking your contrast could make your stuff pop a little more. (Ignore all this if it's a stylistic choice, just thought I'd say.) Anyway, always love seeing some quirky, peaceful builds.

The trails are such a standout. That's a great effect, it works really well. It's almost like this build had to be the size it is, there's a lot of effort and complication going on that doesn't necessarily announce itself. The crowbar/riding crop is a good look. Good for hitting people too.

Excellent writing. You do the military/squad/action stuff in such an enjoyable way. Naturally the build is great! Why the purple background though? Looks kind of whack.

They're a Star Wars tradition! We should all subject our poor characters to more creepy beasties (and Bjorn's is so well-executed!)

It could be interesting to add your style (light bluish gray things, ey?) to the CFS pool of builders. Best I can offer is a great discord community and opportunities to tell interesting and varied stories. You do you!

This is absolutely spectacular. What an effort. Huge kudos, this is a really impressive project executed perfectly. What lights do you use? The effect is spot on.

Thanks for the very high praise. Stay tuned for more meditative farming tales.

Big admirer of the legendary Bibbly, glad to be compared!

Thanks! I'm glad that came across. That's Lt. Connix's torso from the recent A-Wing set.

Thanks! My plan for Imynusoph is to make a sort of homage to classic Lego Adventure themes, like Johnny Thunder. So I figured I'd get away with using one of those torso's for Clod here, hahaha.
