Thanks for sharing these great photos, it looks like Star wars characters are many's favorite models. Personally I also like to try mixing Lego with natural background, I am not a good photographer but was lucky to take some shots that I like by chance, the followings are the combination of my two favorites: Sunset and 7676

Yeah, it is fun to try something wierd

I can understand what you are saying, in most cases I think it is easier for people to consider it a Starwars MOC, but there are exceptions. For example, I built a Dragon Podracer, despite that Podracer is a Starwars entity/concept, using Dragon as twin engines (plus some oriental features) will probably make it very less likely to be considered as Starwars, so after all my post was moved to "other lego themes", though I truly wish it can be associated with the Star Wars theme. So perhaps we can say if the thing can lead people to think of Star Wars instantly no matter what you use, then it is ok.

oh, since I design this as a podracer, which is a Starwar based vehicle concept, therefore I placed it under Starwars. Anyway, it is ok and I respect your decision. Thanks.

Hello, I hope this can fit into the Star Wars theme as it is designed as a "PodRacer", and contains parts from a Lego Star War set indeed, I hope this is entertaining for you all. This PodRacer, unlike the traditional ones, is a combination of engine power and mystical forces, driven by a pair of propellers and two DRAGONS. The advantage of this podracer over all others is the flexibility and maneuverability over tough and narrow terrain, as the Dragons can flex and claw with much agility! This podracer also features a Kung Fu master who uses 念力气功 (mind power + internal kung fu forces) to control and maneuver the podracer!

I experienced some problem with a part where the structure seems to be quite fragile, not sure if any of you have the same issue: please note the ceiling in the picture below, the computers are placed on the floor above and the ground is quite fragile: And the helicopter is rather small, although it can be a pricing point issue, that is, if they design a bigger helicopter the cost of the entire set would be too high, but here in Hong Kong, we have to purchase 4210 at around USD 85, not very fair but there is nothing we can do. Besides the above, I would say this set is excellent.
