Thanks!

Nice :) Which one, by the way? The Sonic Adventure one or the one I used as the background?

Thank you for your appreciation! I highly value it!

So here's how the suspension is done: The main idea is to squeeze the small white rubber bands through the holes in the Technic beams, attach them to round 1x1 plates and then cover them with the long plates. As for bricks, the most important part in my model is perhaps the 1x4 SNOT brick (BrickLink code 30414), to which the suspension is attached. If you have any more questions, please ask!

Dear Leo, I am very sorry, but I don't have any instructions of my TX-225. I would like to help so much, but there is nothing I can do at the moment. Would it help if I shared the design for the suspension?

As the title suggests, it's a Lego model of Tails' Tornado plane from the Sonic Adventure video game. Sadly, it's a little longer than it's supposed to be, but, more importantly, it only fits Tails' minifigure without his signature tails. Nevertheless, I like how it turned out. I hope Lego Sonic fans shall like it too!

Thank you both for your kind comments! Sorry for the late answer, I had trouble with my internet connection

Thank you for your comment! This build's mainframe is directly based on my two-year old Phoenix squadron A-wing MOC (based on the Rebels show). Honestly, I don't remember how much time it took me to develop the latter, but I built the prototype for this particular mode (seen in the photo together with the Rebels version) in less than 10 hours

This weird, out-of-the-norm collaboration occurred during the Bakura incident; both the New Republic and Imperial governments had it classified. At some point during the Ssi-Ruuvi invasion, Wedge Antilles and the New Republic Starfleet were contacted by Gallius Rax and invited to test the new, recently unclassified Frei-Tek E-7 prototype starfighter (nicknamed 'E-wing') in a dogfight simulation against the late treacherous ex-Grand Admiral Zaarin's pet project - one of the few remaining 'Defender' prototypes, which survived then-Admiral Thrawn's epic thwart of Zaarin's attempted coup. Corellian authorities and Diktat Gallamby agreed to observe the upcoming collaboration in order to prevent any hostilities from both sides (Gallamby was trusted by the New Republic government despite his agreements with the Empire) and make sure the ships' weapons are not loaded with ammo. Wedge and Frei-Tek executives cautiously agreed, seeing the challenge as relatively simple - they knew Thrawn easily destroyed Zaarin's 'Defenders' with what became known as the mass-produced TIE Interceptors. Little did they know that the ship tested by Rax was not one of the bulky, heavy and inert prototype ships Zaarin employed during his failed coup... ...But a slim and agile improved version, painted in a happy bright red colour, uncharacteristic for most Imperial vessels. Thanks to lighter and more compact hyperdrive and shield generators, this starfighter's frame lost much weight, allowing better flight performance to be achieved. The test went surprisingly well, and in the end both sides agreed that their opponents' ships were the best deal in each Starfleet. - Honestly, you are a much better pilot than I expected, - Wedge told Rax, - but why did you decide to contact me out of all people? Is it because of my reputation? - This and one other thing, - the Commissar answered, - I read your recent interview to Voren Na'al and noticed that it was obviously redacted by the latter; especially the part about your girlfriend's death. I don't think you hate our Empire that much; you joined the Rebellion not out of hate like Leia Organa or Luke Skywalker, but rather out of despair... - We're not going into that direction, - Wedge said harshly, - thanks for the collaboration; I hope to never meet you again... in battle, at least. - As you wish, - Rax grinned creepily, - but always remember: if the New Republic government is to be taken over by people whose ideas and methods you won't be able to cope with, I am personally ready to forgive you the destruction of the Death Star... - Thanks. This will never happen. - You have hope... ... Roughly two years later, Wedge Antilles and Gallius Rax met again - ironically it was during the battle of Sluis Van, which set off the Thrawn Campaign. Rax flew his 'Red star' once more, while Wedge and his comrades had their trusty X-wings - the E-wing was yet to enter production. Even more ironic was the fact that both pilots and their ships survived the battle; however, this was just the beginning... ...

Thanks for your beautiful little model. Even before I saw the images, it inspired me to build my own minifigure-scale version (I shall post it sometime). Good job!

Thanks!

"...the New Republic LIES TO THE GALAXY!!!" This is Mon Mothma - my first Lego Star Wars minifigure with custom painted hair. Her cape is paper. I always wanted to give Officer Leia medium-length legs (Carrie Fisher used to be exceptionally short), so I erased printing on Moaning Myrtle's legs with an eraser. The same was done with General Airen Cracken's head in order to create a custom General Carlist Rieekan (in New Republic uniform) minifigure. Enjoy!

Why, thanks! MOCs are supposed to be more accurate (and, sadly, less playable) than official sets

This photo is based on footage from the documentary featuring this particular aircraft: I think that the polar bear cub might have been adopted by Soviet polar explorers during the "Sever-2" ("North-2") expedition the previous year (1948), since a similar-looking cub is seen on the footage from the documentary about said expedition.

Hello, everyone! Just a friendly reminder that anything looks better with tiles:
