Mr Bloo

Here's a couple I'd like to see (however unlikely) : from the original trilogy Cantina Patrons set : Tonnika Sisters a Duros (either Chachi or Ohwun De Maal) with a new head mould/sculpt à la Bith (i.e. big cranium). Nabrun Leids (using Rio Durant's torso/arms sculpt and possibly Teedo's head ?) from Heir to the Empire Mount Tantiss : Grand Admiral Thrawn Captain Gilad Pellaeon Joruus C'Baoth new mould/sculpt : either a Noghri (Rukh) or a pair of Ysalamiri (worn by Thrawn and Pellaon on their backs) Myrkr base : Mara Jade Luke Skywalker (lower half flightsuit, upper tank top) Talon Karrde new mould/sculpt : either some Ysalamiri or a Vornskr from Jedi : Survivor Coruscant showdown : a pair of Purge Troopers Cal Kestis with BD-1 Ninth Sister (possibly based on Thanos/Hulk mould ?)

Goes over the latest rumours.. adds Tantive IV Boarding set to buying list. Malak I'll have to see pics before I bite the bullet.. My personal hope is that one day Lego will grace us with a Republic Commando minifig.

Nice ! Don't forget to post in the primary 2023 May the 4th contest thread linking to this post (as per the contest general rules) : A link should be included in this thread to ensure your entry is counted.

All right.. after lurking on the forums for quite a while, I've decided to bite the bullet and become an active member. Here's my entry for the 2023 May the 4th contest : a trip down nostalgia lane with the INT-4 Mini-Rig : Regards, Mr Bloo

Scout for Rebels with the INT-4 The INT-4 Interceptor is a scout craft used by the Galactic Empire. A short-range flyer operated by a single pilot, it can be carried within the body of an All Terrain Armored Transport. Several INT-4s were used by the Empire to scout for the Rebel base on Hoth. It has a cockpit module with an entrance hatch at the top, two stabiliser wings, laser cannon and landing gear. In keeping with the Galactic Empire's preference for subdued colours, the hull of the INT-4 is painted grey. That's how the INT-4 Mini-Rig was originally described. Having played with the Kenner toy many moons ago, I decided to take a stab at a Lego version : INT-4 by Tim Strauven, on Flickr I've tried to make my version as compact as possible ; it clocks in at just below 16 studs long, 9 studs wide (16 with stabiliser wings deployed) and 8 studs high : INT-4 side by Tim Strauven, on Flickr INT-4 rear by Tim Strauven, on Flickr The stabiliser wings are deployable : INT-4 wing by Tim Strauven, on Flickr Cockpit features include a console and faux potolli-weave upholstery : INT-4 cockpit by Tim Strauven, on Flickr It's a tight fit, but there's just enough room for a pilot : INT-4 pilot by Tim Strauven, on Flickr Personal nitpick : the top hatch is held in place with a bracket, not a functional hinge (which would break up the silhouette IMO). Hope you like it, all constructive feedback is appreciated ! Regards, Mr Bloo
