Every morning I would check this calendar to see if my name would be up there... and now it is! I'm so glad to finally win a raffle. :) Thank you EB Staff and everyone involved in this wonderful raffle! If anyone's interested in swapping their Savage, Maul or Panaka for Ki-Adi or Quilan, let me know.

Thanks guys! It's working in all 3 pics. ;)

The idea of using AT-ATs as Star Wars reindeer has often been done before, but I wanted to create Rudolph with a real red nose. :) With working LED. AT-AT is a bley 4483 version with modified head/cockpit. Gallery: http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=489777

Here's my entry. :) Some Droidekas are modified to help Santa deliver his Christmas presents to those hard working droids in the CIS Army.

Nope, the Bren handle is a resistor (but I used an electrolytic capacitor to lengthen the Panzerschreck! :P) Thanks for the comments all! :)

Haha yea you're right about that! Thanks.

Hello all, I recently made some modern weapons but I've also retaken pictures of my older WWII mods. My favorite mod, the FN FAL, with working iron sights. I really, REALLY love how clean this turned out. Used a PSG-1 Steyr AUG with it's iconic Swarovski scope. Sadly some of the paint chipped of when I put in the fig's hand, so I cleaned that up a little and left the handle black. Used an MP7. UMP 45, with working iron sights. Used a TLG blaster. Red dot sight, grip, ACOG sight, flashlight. Bren LMG (my very first mod, but still one of my favorite!) Used a LMG + bipod. Handle is made out of a resistor. Sorry for the dust. :3 Panzerschreck with ammo Used a bazooka and 2 rockets. FG42 My messiest mod (thick plastic is very hard to work with), still like it nonetheless. Used a long TLG blaster. Scoped Lee-Enfield Used a regular Lee-Enfield (well obviously :P) Sten Used nothing more than various pieces of plastic and some iron wire. A stand for the BA minigun allowing it to move left, right, up and down. Well that's them. C&C welcome! :)

That is correct, here's a quote from SW the visual dictionary about the AT-AT: "These gigantic machines are used as terror weapons. Their powerful walking controls can only be operated by pilots of great physical strenth. Until the Battle of Hoth, AT-ATs were widely regarded as invincible in combat, and there mere appearance was often enough to drive enemy forces into fearful retreat." Same goes for the Death Star, there's no point in having such a slow enormous space station, except for it's ability to destroy planets. Also from the dictionary, about Tarkin: "The Imperial Outlands contains systems too scattered to police effectively, but the fear of the Death Star will subjugate systems across the galaxy."

Thanks for the replies everyone! I spotted it after I posted it, but for some reason I can't edit it myself?

Hello all! Just got this set today and wanted to make another review, so here it is. I apologize for some of the pictures, it was getting dark halfway through the build. ;) Set: 7931 Jedi T-6 Shuttle Pieces: 369 Year release: 2011 Minifigures: 4 Price: €74,99, $59,99, £49.99 Lets start with the box: Here are the contents; 5 bags, an A4 instruction manual and a rather large sticker sheet. Here's a close up of the sticker sheet. 5 very large stickers! For some reason Lego included me 2 of them, while you only need one. All of the parts; I never build bag-by-bag, I prefer the build to last a little longer. Pieces of interest; 2 technic gears I've never seen before, a printed(!) windscreen, technic T-piece, and a trans-light blue brick 2x2 round. The steps; part 1 is body and figs, part 2 wing+ gears, part 3 wing+ attachments, part 4 cockpit. Here's the best part of the set; the figs! We get another(!) Obi-Wan and Anakin. :( But, to make up for that there are 2 new and exclusive figures, Saesee Tiin and Shaak Ti! They are both very cool figures, with both new headpieces. They are a single part, but the horns and tops are made of a softer plastic than the res (It's not all rubbery like Kit Fisto) I have to say Saesee's face is quite ugly, but Shaak Ti is beautiful! One of my favorite figures. She is also the only one that comes with a cape. Her headpiece is the same style as Ahsoka's, only longer. And the backs, only Saesee's torso in printed on both sides. Now lets start with the build, shall we? Half way part 1 we have the structure of the body done. Now we're done with step 1; the body is completed, Step 2 is for the left/bottom with and gears. Nothing shocking in the build, so here's the finished part. Part 3 builds the other wing. It's a bit repetitive but fun nonetheless. Then we attach the body to the wings. And finally, step 4, we build the cockpit. More on that later. Only 4 spare parts; a technic pin, cheese slope, and 2 1x1 round plates. So, we add the cockpit to the rest, and done! It was a pretty fun build, so here are some pictures. When it's flying it's wings turn 90 degrees. I had to hold it because it will fall over if you try to put it down this way. Here's the underside. The wings are not as detailed on the underside as their top, but it's not bad. Here's a close up of the body. The gear is attached to a pin which slows the turning, so you can swoosh without having to hold the wings! The technic piece is a stand to make sure it doesn't topple over. We're done with everything good, so now the bad; the cockpit. I'll just say this: it's horrible. It looks like the designers had €5 left to spend to make a cockpit and half of that went to the windscreen. The outside is ok, but the inside is multicolored, odd pieces and a lot of room is wasted with the wall connections and the ability to detach the cockpit. Here's a shot without figs. Score Build: 8/10 A bit repetitive because of the wings, but a fun build nonetheless. It has some nice snot building. Parts: 7/10 Aside from the printed cockpit, there's not that much special. Figures: 9/10. Sasee Tiin and Shaak Ti are AWESOME! Only downside are Anakin and Obi-wan. Price: 7/10 I bought this for €53, which is €23 lower then the S@H price. For this price it's a 10/10, but I'm not sure if I'd pay €75 for this. I'll definitely recommend it those in the US, but those in Europe will have to decide if they like the set and are willing to pay that much (it has 2 awesome figs though). Playability: 9/10 Very swooshable, 2 flick fire missiles, and 4 Jedi! Lots of fun to play with this as a kid. Only downside is that there are no enemies! You'll need to buy the Bounty Hunter gunship for this, as the art page shows. Accuracy: 7/10 Wings should be 2-3 times bigger (but it would be HUGE if they did, and too expensive) and red instead of dark red. :( The shape is very well done though! Overall: 47/60 A very decent set, just a little expensive if you buy it at Europe's full price. Great for both collectors and children!

Eurobricks Raffle and Mystery Treasure Hunt

This is a really cool idea! I've already found the first one. -
Here's my updated sigfig as my entry, Darth Pineapple.
-
Could we make a figure? If so, are modded elements allowed or does it have to be 'purist'?
-
Wow. The ostriches, figs and katanas (with holder) alone are worth it. Let alone all that dark tan. This will definitely be one of the first sets I'll pick up.
-
Thank you! The grass here are all the grass pieces I have, it was actually quite hard to fill the entire thing at the end.
-
Thanks guys! Glad you like it! They are on Kashyyyk, they're in the game Republic Commando. Thanks, Geonosians are one of my favorite kind of figs. These 5 are all from trades.
-
Click the pictures for bigger ones. My entry for the contest over at CABG, 3 clones in a camouflaged bunker hang some cherries near their minigun. A group of Geonosians, hungry as their are, can't resist the cherries, unknown of the danger... Thunder-Blade edited these pictures (background & lasers) and PoпcнoPєпgυιп gets credit for the minigun barrel.

For a MOC I need these parts: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=x81 Any color, but preferably not black. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3464 LIGHT GRAY only. I would prefer to trade only if you have both of these items. I have lots of (minifig) parts, tell me what you like and I'll see if I have it. I don't trade SW (apart from droids or CW clones) and WWII-related items.
