Very nice speeder! The simplistic landscape is great too, the black spiky plants look really good!

Location: H06 Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle, Building, Civil If the rest of the Executives really thought that I was going to take this dinky speeder on a top secret mission, well... they were wrong. Home sweet home and time to pimp that speeder! Okay, better get busy! Much better! To be continued! C&C welcome!

Great build, I'm really liking the simplistic style and excellent job portraying the change from normal to ice covered (or viceversa)!

Fantastic work with the texturing! Also love the axes and ski over the gate! The bubbly swamp bit is great too!

Thanks Little John! Thank you! I do enjoy microscale - it can just be hard to find the time between other builds! It does seem to be my forte, though.

Thanks! Nothing fancy, that's for sure. I actually had quite a bit of trouble with the set up for this build - it had been nice and cloudy and then, of course, I take a stack of boxes and a couple sheets of paper outside and bam, the sun comes out. So I set it all up and decided to wait inside for a few minutes. Bad idea. I didn't think the wind was that bad, but it blew the whole affair up, cost me a couple of wet sheets of paper (they flew into a nearby canal) and a good 15 minutes in the broiling sun (because of course, it hadn't gone back behind the clouds) repairing the build as best I could. Then I had to take it under the shade; so basically, my set up is a stack of small boxes or large books behind a sheet of paper (or sheets, if its a large build). If the ground is wet or dirty I put a blanket underneath. Then I either sit or lay down and start snapping. I've tried using a tripod, but it's always struck me as a lot of work for minimally improved (if at all) results. If I'm taking a picture from an exceptionally weird angle, I'll sometimes use the timer so pushing the button doesn't cause the camera to shake. Why? Are my pictures really good or are they really bad? Actually, my personal opinion is that I get really good close-ups and really good pictures of small builds, but my larger builds often (not always, but often) turn out terrible. I really need to find a way to fix that. Any tips would be appreciated! I've been thinking about camera upgrading sometime next year.

That's one sweet Kawa ship! Loving the shape!

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the comments!

Very nice build dG, the peaceful atmosphere is great! I'm particularly liking your colorful trees, but the details the like the bear, the cart, and the flowers on the pond add a lot!

Excellent build LJ, really like the bright colors and all the activity! Great job with those trees and also with the tent!

A new free-build!

Fantastic trees. Those trunks look great!

Despite the ravages of the civil war, there are a few secluded nooks where it is still possible to lead a peaceful life. C&C welcome as always!

Very nice build, the snowscape is great and so is the shaping on that vehicle! The little corner of water makes for a really neat addition!

60 credits to Bob please!

The entire thing is fantastic, but the interior is just breathtaking! Great work, just love all the gold details especially the arches and the roof!

Thanks everyone! I actually had a lot of fun writing his lines. Thanks! Thank you! Yes, I thought of that, but it didn't seem overly safe.

Nice flashback! I really like how you included a micro drooping Octan flag! I guess Kawashita still hasn't figured out how to get that up. "Our most persistent upholder of rules" - great reference to Dr. Long. The interior scene is very smooth and clean - really like that table!

Let's see a race! Very nice pair of buggies! The flags are a great touch.

Can't you tell I'm wearing dress pants? Well, moving on, can anyone tell me why were asking Guy to handle this mission instead of, I don't know, anyone else? Watch what you say, he's second branch executive now! Hey guys! Sorry I'm late. I popped on over as soon as I could, but Octan has some stiff security checks! No problem, Guy. Hannibal, you got this one. Okay, Guy. So we've got a top secret mission for you, but first things first - we've had a new speeder rigged out for you. Behold! The Ultra! Ultra what? No, just Ultra. I thought you said that I had this one. Of course. Go ahead. Wait a second. How am I supposed to sit on that thing? Hate to say it guys, but Guy's got a point! Oh, that's no problem. We'll take off the propulsion caps in a jiffy. Is that really a good idea? Of course! And - there you have it! I think I'm still missing something. How do I ride that? Just like this! Umm... That doesn't really make a whole lot of sense, Pombe. What are you supposed to do when it starts moving? This! That's really... something else... Well, it might work. If you think so! Well anyways Guy, before you go - we've got some of the absolute latest technology for you. Don't judge by appearances. This is the most wear-resistant head set out there! Seriously?! This feels so... ...dorky... I think he looks great! So cute! Yeah, right on! *sigh* So... how am I supposed to hold the gun and drive the speeder at the same time? Hmm... You know, that gun is probably worthless anyways. I agree. I'd just leave it behind. To be continued...

63 credits to Bob please, whenever possible!

Now that's one fearsome Frog Monster! Really like the landscape however and great work on those trees especially!

Thanks everyone!

Great technique for the shepherd's staff! Love the olive trees/bushes too!
