thanks for the wonderful contest and congratulations to all the other winners! There were so many great builds entered in!

While the group on Kef Bir during the Rise of Skywalker movie started to head back, Poe Dameron lagged behind, impressed by the increasing size of the waves. But they're starting to get too big! It's a tsunami! The smaller waves in the background were created using dragon wings lined up with a precise camera angle to look like a bunch of waves. Here's a view showing most of the connections of the different pieces for the waves: The build does has a footprint bigger than 16x16, if it wasn't obvious from the pictures.

Great design! Am I right in guessing it’s inspired by the millenium falcon?

this new TIE design (also called the TIE Experimental M4.2) is a ship fitted with two large bombs attached to it, designed to be flown straight into a target, exploding with the unfortunate casualty of the ship...and the pilot. The original TIE Bomb is a ship in Star Wars Legends (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TIE_Experimental_M4), and the M2 is my design, soon to be manufactured by the empire for important missions. This ship has been fitted with a hyperdrive, so it can appear out of hyperspace and quickly speed toward a planet's surface, using the two powerful engines on the back of the bombs. The pilot's outfit is partially gold, because of the huge honor it is considered to sacrifice yourself for the empire by piloting one of these ships. The gold markings are also on the bombs. The bombs require special energy sources to explode, so they won't explode accidentally where they aren't supposed to. These yellow energy packs are inserted right before launch and neither the packs nor the bombs will explode without being connected. The interior is fully detailed, including the machinery for the hyperdrive and all of the pilot's controls. The pilot fits comfortable by empire standards, but they'd better hope they aren't claustrophobic!

It's the sprue piece for the Ninjago shurikens. It's actually surprisingly compatible for just being a throwaway piece. Good guess though!

Thanks! That’s a fair point. Since the building does extend higher than 16 studs, I had to cut it off somewhere, but tiles would probably look better. If the MOC was still put together I might have modified that, but unfortunately I’ve taken it apart by now for use in other builds.

I’ve seen similar techniques for lava used before, but this one stands out to me more than the rest for some reason. Well done!

wow that’s super cool. I’m not usually super into technic stuff, but it suits the x wing very well, a lot better than their new ucs x wing. And you did it all with one set!

Thank you! Its shape lends itself very well to utensils, so I'm surprised that I haven't seen it used like such before.

For the minifigure habitat category of the contest, I've decided to create a market scene on the colossus ship from the Star Wars Resistance TV show. I've always loved the style of that market and I wanted to transform it into LEGO. The canopy covering the market is one of my favorite parts, consisting of multiple capes draped across a net. This is my very favorite part. I've been attempting more and more complicated SNOT techniques lately, and this resistance graffiti is one of my best so far. I think it turned out really well, and it posed a fun challenge for me to recreate in lego without stickers. Here are the minifigures in the build. A Klatooinian gorgmonger along with his gorgs, based off of Bolza Grool, although in olive green rather than his true coloring, Jarek Yeager, and an Ugnaught vendor (who has no name in the TV show but appears prominently in one of the episodes). Enjoy the rest of the pictures!

Thank you! The palm tree and reeds are actually both inspired by the flowerpot gwp. The pieces lent themselves well to the shaping I wanted to achieve! Thanks a lot! I’m very proud of those sloped plates. And that utensil was a pain to position without any attachment!

Trooper CT-672 finally broke free of the empire's control. He commandeered an escape pod from his star destroyer and crashed down on the nearby planet of Aynaboni (the same planet the "Bad Batch" had a mission on). CT-672 (for lack of a better name due to his recent escape) has set up his camp near the crash site and plans to relax off-grid without the harsh schedule of the empire thrust on his back. I enjoyed shaping the rocks and shores of the island, which are based on the planet Aynaboni, although with many liberties taken due to its limited amount of screen time. My favorite technique was using dice pieces to create the escape pod. Make sure to check out my Flickr! It isn't much right now, as it is a new account, but I plan on putting more MOCs there later. https://www.flickr.com/photos/198191610@N04/ Enjoy!
