  1. Great job on the vig 'Brickdoctor'! I particularly love the AT-RT! Just like you, I have a bunch of modified AT-RTs as well, though I'm on the Clone Wars series-type AT-RTs and not on the Ep. III types.
  2. Nice job on the LDD superkalle, pointing out the small deficiencies of the official set. TLG has been known to put random inacurrate colors and missized weapons on the sets most of the time. If you're someone who's always for accuracy of the 'real look' of the vehicles (just like me), those things are something that a li'l bit of modding can't fix.
  3. Nice mods you did there on the Ep. II Slave I. Good job!
  4. Thanks whung for the pics! It's nice to finally see these much-anticipated sets, though I don't see myself getting any of these three (not a fan of midi-scaled sets and large expensive sets). Can't wait to see hi-res pics of these soon.
  5. That's a good start for your entry Cloney. Some suggestions though, maybe you could add more dark bluish gray pieces to complement the light bluish ones, just to diversify the color tones. Also add more texture by using tiles to lessen the studs. Good luck on the contest!
  6. Nice job sok on your entry! However, "Great" Pit of Carkoon seems to be smaller than what I expected, but considering there is a size limit on your base, that's quite acceptable. But it would really be nice if it was larger and would depict the scene from the movie much better.
  7. Nice entry you have there mookage! I love the details on that place (engine/power room?). Just a comment, why is Obi-wan's face smiling? I think that was not the right time for him to smile especially moments before his master is about to die.
  8. Great job Darth Lion! Not much of a micro-/mini-scaled vig fan here but yours really caught my attention and I must say you really did an impressive job. That X-Wing is really cute!
  9. As always, great architecture on the Naboo structure AC! I also love your version of the Gian speeder, much much better than the official set. Good luck on the contest!
  10. WOW! Excellent work my friend! You really captured the 'volcanic atmosphere' in your vig, gotta love those orange and trans-orange peices for the lava effect. Just curious, did you use Photoshop for the 'glowing effect' of the lava? Really great job on the 'post-production'.
  11. A lot of good entries, but here are my not-so-east-to-decide votes: 1 point for the Caveman entry by lisgr - the 'icey' effects are stunning! 1 point for the Zombie entry by Delatron - funny and great build at the same time. 1 point for the Clown entry by Redcross - gotta love the details for such a small build. Good luck to all the entries!
  12. Thanks for the review KimT! It's interesting to see this review as I just received my Aayla Secura parts (Twi'lek head, headgear, and torso) yesterday, and I simply love it! The quality is really good (LEGO-quality) from the ABS plastic, decals, and design. Plus the prices are relatively affordable for custom parts plus, I even got a bonus mullet! Only downside is I had to decapitate the sand blue right arm from my ARC-170 pilot and the brown left arm and legs of Chewbacca (poor Chewie) to complete my Aaayla Secura fig. I was thinking of doing a comparative review of Arealight's Aaayla vs. TLG's Aayla, I'm just about to purchase TLG's Aayla Secura (MFing expensive!).
  13. Haha! Very funny and cute story, nicely done 'Siegfried'! GG looks very menacing, but he ain't got nothin' on Master Tonberry (the greatest jedi no one has heard of)! I love the last pic, Master Tonberry's four apprentices cheering for their master! Reduced: 85% of original size [ 600 x 450 ] - Click to view full image
  14. Wow what a nice collection of vignettes 'ACPin'! Great works once again. Among the four, I particularly love the Princess Leia vig, the 'dark secretive' lighting really captures the scene from the movie.
  15. Nicely done 'brickdoctor'! For such a small-scaled ship you managed to put a lot of details, I simply love all the greebling effects. Maybe you could make a few of these to make a whole fleet. Great job once again and welcome to EB!
  16. Thanks for the review def, great job! The set is actually a good one especially for those who want to get most of the Toy Story characters in one buy, though it's really quite expensive.
  17. I'm not much of train guy, but I don't need to be one to say that this is a fabulous work of art! Great job 'zephyr'! The amazing amount of detail just goes to show how much effort you put in researching, designing, and building this masterpiece of a train. I like the way you captured the overall look of a classic steam-engine train. Gotta love also the clever use of moon plate as the steam.
  18. Nice work Darth Yogi. It's a good starting model and you got the basic shape of the speeder. I was curious how the actual speeder look's like so here's a reference pic to compare to you speeder: From the pic, I think you might want to shorten the rear a bit (probably by two studs), widen the front hull, improve the main driver's area (put proper windscreen, 2 x chairs, side covers).
  19. Fantastic job on the Wheelbike 'Rook'! Much much better than the official set. I also like how you modified the Boga and Grievous.
  20. Well, that's just wishful thinking on my part, I guess there's already enough reason for TLG to recreate Luminara after 10 long years since she has appeared numerous times in the Clone Wars series. Still, for me, this magnet set is still worth buying, and this will be a great opportunity for others to get these figs for a mcuh cheaper price.
  21. I initially thought that was a regular ARC clone pilot, now I realized it's JAG, yeah it would have been more useful it was a generic pilot. They should have just made the set a Jedi Magnet Set, replace the clone pilot with another jedi, probably a Kit-Barriss-Plo (realistic combo) or even a Kit-Luminara-Plo (wishful combo)
  22. Thoughts about the new magnet set: Kit Fisto - It won't be too bad getting another Kit (he's my fave jedi after all-duh!). I bought the 8088 ARC-170 to get my first Kit Fisto minifig, but I also love the ship so it's worth buying the set. Barriss Offee - Dammit! I just recently bought my Barriss minifig from ebay, as I did not want to buy that horrendous Swamp Speeder. If I had known this a li'l bit earler, I should have just waited and bought this magnet set (the price will probably be the same as my Bariss fig ) Captain JAG - I need this third pilot for my ARC-170, though it would have been nicer if it was a regular ARC clone pilot. Still, this is a useful fig. Overall, this is a good magnet set, particularly because of the jedis.
  23. This is one of the reasons why I don't make dioramas, I will simply get schooled by the greatness of the ACPin's MOCs! As always, GREAT job! Just curious, how much time do you consume making these wonderful MOCs?
  24. I always mod all my SW sets. Once I buy a new set, I build it first according to the instructions, then I review it and try to fix the things that don't satisfy me about the set. My new sets don't last a single day without getting modified. LEGO sets always have rooms for improvement, actually, there is a lot. I always strive getting the "right look" of SW vehicles. My RGS, JSFs, X-Wing, ARC-170, AT-TE, AT-RTs, etc. have all been modified to capture the right design of the real vehicles. All my builds have so far been SW mods, as I'm not much of a MOC expert (starting from scratch) and I'm also not into vignettes/dioramas. Now I'm currently working on other non-SW themes, I just finished my modified/improved Batman's Tumbler and my next one will be Bikini Bottom Neighborhood (talk about diversity of themes! )
  25. Wow, really? I haven't watched yet that episode, had I known Mace already have one then I would have made his JSF. Thanks for informing me, I searched it off Wikipedia, here's the pic: From what I see, it's all white with a bit of green and red highlights? I need to watch that episode to closely study the colors, and to determine his astromech droid color. I'll definitely make this one to add to my collection. I'll be off to Bricklink then for the needed parts!
