Oooooh that’s clever, having a pivot point away from any natural connection points in the letter i was thinking “that’s not a t?” And then saw the other photo cool idea

Thanks for the kind words on the ring, a side effect is there is literally no good place to hold it, hence the messy photos

Much appreciated, the only way I could see a Q working is if it lands in that position. …the trial and error that went into getting it to stand up

Commissioned by the CIS General Lok Durd, Designed in collaboration between the Z-Gomot Ternbuell Guppat Corporation and the Colicoid Creation Nest, the Gorgon-Q support fighter was built to deliver continuous bombardment without the need for cooldown. The Outer ring structure, a proprietary particle accelerator, inspired by Z-Gomot’s TSMEU-6 wheelbike, rotates during flight to increase power efficiency via a specialised dynamo mechanism. In combination with the high surface area dedicated to heat dispersal, the Gorgon-6 can maintain an unprecedented heavy cannon fire rate of 750rpm, with field tests reporting a blast rate so rapid the lasers appear to fire as a continuous beam. This prototype unfortunately is not currently in mass production due to two key failure points; 1. Repeated instances of the primary cannon failing to cease fire, resulting in friendly fire casualties in all field tests, notably the complete destruction of a munificent frigate, holorecording available. 2. The highly specialised systems require an advanced droid brain to pilot such as a BX-series droid, due to the ever increasing demand for these units in covert ground operations, General grievous has personally ordered a pause to the project This may be my only build this year, I have some family stuff going on that are really taking up all my time. i zoned in on Q almost immediately because I wanted to do a ship that was upright. originally I planned to have a fixed cockpit in the centre of the Q shape, however just for fun I played around with a rotating mechanism…. And had so much fun that that just got locked in. the cockpit gave me a lot of trouble, I wanted something bug like, and that made me start with a Sortve carapace over the top, but it just ended up looking like a submarine, which I’m not too happy with i had wanted to build a droid brain rather than have a separate pilot, but all my designs frankly sucked. always appreciated -Dan

cant stress enough how much @Sentinel_Brix completely obliterated us all this year, his bar and ship especially were incredible, im just grateful he cant win multiple prizes or we'd all be SOL gonna have to work extra hard next time to knock him off of his throne

Haha Look man, I don’t know what to tell you, these places just attract a certain kind of clientele….

Thank you, I’m really no good with photography and because I ran out of time I just went with the one that I thought depicted the scene in the best way, I’ll try to get the first impression right next time

Thank you

Sorry about the figures, I’m autistic so if it wasn’t in the category specification I didn’t think it’d be an issue, the two unaltered characters where included because I thought they fit in with the scene as they were. thank you for you feedback though, it is appreciated and I’ll try to take it into account if I enter the competition again

Dude thought he’d slip a shadow arf trooper into his build and nobody would mention it, that’s a pricey fig great moc, love the floor pattern

might be different for the mods but the links working fine for me whilst on desktop, only struggling to view it on mobile. solid ship dude, the bookends of the chunky nose and those two anterior turrets give it a really dominant presence, i get the vibes of a tanky starfighter that isnt particularly nimble but really packs a punch when it gets you lined up

Much appreciated feedback! i cant tell you how many times i would catch this thing as i'd be building and nearly knock it over, especially as both ends had to be built concurrently so as to keep the whole thing balanced. i've tried a lot more this year to focus on stud orientation to achieve shapes, i did that a bit with last years coruscant build, but i thought there was room for improvement. the absolute savior of this moc is those extra long rey flex tubes, i picked them up on bricklink about a year ago, no specific use in mind, but the entire outer curve of the platform hangs from those flex tubes.

Thank you Both, it's a great vindication for the frustration of the build that its appreciated by those especially talented within the community!

oh why do you have to be so nice!? im supposed to hate you because you've absolutely knocked it out of the park and are gonna wipe the floor in the scores seriously thanks man, your submissions are incredible and they've only made me hate every little thing about my own builds do you have a process for figbarf-ing? i struggle to not see them as ugly throughout, especially incorporating non-star wars pieces and prints?

Big Moff: “We got an invite to Bar Tibanna. You’re going first — keep your eyes open and your ears open wider. If something goes wrong, I want to hear about it before I step foot there.” Yolee: “Understood, ma’am… But if this goes sideways, are you really sending SLG-R to get me out, or is this gonna be like that time on Nal Hutta?” Big Moff: “You got yourself out of that mess and came back with a hell of a scar. What more do you want from me?” Built on an abandoned Tibanna Gas collecting platform in the clouds of Bespin, Bar Tibanna began is an easy black market harvesting station, over time the station grew both in wealth and network, until it was making more money in members fees than Tibanna revenue. Now the platform drifts through Bespin like a ghost, transponder was taken out years ago, the only way to ever find your way to Bar Tibanna is by invitation. It’s not clear who runs Bar Tibanna, but one things for certain, you only end up here if you’ve got something to offer… and a couple of photos of the platform without figures cluttering up the space
