Beautiful. Very beautiful. You have achieved so much at such a small scale!

I initially wanted to answer but decided it would have been too much

The fat underbelly of the original model didn't satisfy me because of its inaccuracy - so I redesigned it. It may not look as good as it used to, but at least it's more faithful to the original. The MOC's rear was also redesigned: Hope it's better now!

The legendary Soviet battleship never built - Project 23. 4 ships of this type should have been constructed before the Great Patriotic War to operate in Soviet seas. The construction was cancelled due to the war and the remains were disassembled afterwards. Battleships are beautiful, yet expensive and vulnerable ships, and it would have been better to invest in aviation (which, eventually, was done). Nevertheless, the ship has a small fanbase among navy enthusiasts and deserves to be recreated in Lego form. The model is 1/1200 scale and, IMHO, is very accurate (I used 1/1200 technical drawings as a reference). Some may recognise this ship from my first Star Wars Mysteries freebuild - yes, I deliberately based the Galactic Empire on this build (but the Imperial warship is supposed to be bigger IRL). Enjoy!

Thank you!

Today the Star Wars parody webcomic Blue Milk Special is celebrating its 15th anniversary! Sadly, the comic hasn't been updated since July 11 2023. I decided to celebrate this date by recreating some memorable characters! Thanks! I don't really know whether the 2023 Stormie is cheaper than the 2012 one, but the 2012 torso looks more like the 2014 than the 2023 does. And yes, I prefer the 2014 helmet. Thank you!

I upgraded existing Robin, Barbara Gordon and Superman minifigures with dual-moulded parts for better accuracy. Sadly, Lego didn't realise a Batgirl cowl piece with dark orange hair, so Babs has to wear this ugly plain red hairpiece...

Let's just hope the show doesn't take place in the 1940s and isn't rated R

Thanks!

Non-ANH upgraded minifigures: Snowtroopers (knee pads are stickers): Construction worker (known as 'the Imperial janitor'), seen in the background in ROTJ: Emperor's guard with custom paper cape: Guard cape: Legends Space trooper:

They are old ones, but I think it will be a nice idea to post them here... Early (left, 2012 torso) and late (right, 2014 torso) Stormtrooper armour types, distinguished by the dot pattern on the belly. Late-type stormtrooper armour was only seen in ROTJ: ANH Darth Vader (Rebels torso works best) with red eyes and black paper cape: Vader's paper cape: Imperial astromech droids (stickers): Custom sandtrooper backpacks - more accurate than the official versions: All 7 desert troopers seen in the 1977 version of the movie - completed with dewback lizard: Later sandtroopers got more accurate rifles without gunsights. Thrawn's Grand Admiral uniform is of late type, with two-row red and blue post-Yavin insignia plaque: Tarkin and the guards: Custom IT-0 "Doctor Ball" droid: Death Star Superlaser operators: Death Star space stormtrooper: Death Star Gonk Droid and Imperial Intelligence officer: TIE pilots with balaclavas. The 2018 Solo movie helmet is my absolute favourite because of the oxygen tube pattern: The minifigures were upgraded for my stop-motion 1977 ANH project. Hope you like them!

By the way, does anyone remember those weird Superhero buildable figures from 2012? IMHO, Green lantern was OK, but the Man and Jonkler ('cause I can't call those Batman and Joker)...

Agree

...'cause it was quite obvious for me.

Dual-moulded legs would benefit BTAS Mr. Freeze. As of Harley, TLG won't be able to ignore leg printing. As of arm printing for both... Let's be pessimistic - we won't be disappointed

New characters here! Darkseid and Firefly:

Thanks! I agree that wing fences are hard to recreate in Lego. As I said, I've found my solution and I'm glad it works

I see... The idea of using flexible tubes for wing fences came to my mind when I saw the remains of the 2014 Landspeeder (set 75052), so I just took them from there. Gives a nice curved impression

Thanks! But... Sorry, I don't really understand, what's the deal with wing fences? If you have better suggestions I am open for them.

I wish I could build natural environments like this... This is awesome!

I shouldn't have mentioned my dislike for The Batman 2022 now that I see what this forum has turned into

But what about Joe Chill, Jason and Barbara? And Gaggy, of course? If you know what I'm talking about...

No, we are not. It seems that TLG is, since the whole 2023 passed under the slogan "The Man and Jonkler are the only residents of the city"
