Awesome ships, but I don't really get a TIE feeling from them. But besides that I really like it.

Yeah, I guess a bumpmap could work, but sometimes it looks better when it's actually modeled.

It's extruded text. It doesn't completely match the actual studs, but still. And you got a point about keeping the polys down though, some of the bigger models I made, like the Egyptian temple really made my computer complain.

@TerranCmdr: glad to see another 3dsMax user. It's also funny we both use the same measurements for the bricks. Two things though. First, I always chamfer the top edges of my bricks with an amount of 0.1, so they look better when stacked. Second, I prefer to use "attach" instead of the boolean way, because personally, I try to avoid using anything that has to do with booleans. It also immediately attaches the meshes together and doesn't muck up the edgeflow. Here's a little render to show the difference between chamfered (left) and not chamfered (right):

Made a Mini TIE Fighter: Now I'm gonna model the 30051 Mini X-Wing. Edit: done.

Those look seriously awesome. How long did it take to model them?

Those are seriously awesome. I love modelling Lego as well. I have a few Star Wars models, so I guess I'll post them here as well. Here are some more when it's public.

Good is just a word. The reality... is much more awesome. Sorry, couldn't resist. I love this movie, in a creepy sort of way, since every them I watch it alone, I totally freak myself out. But anyway, I really love the model.

Man, that is awesome. I really like the uhm... well, the whole thing actually

They look so angelic, nice!

Wow, you have my utmost respect for doing that in Illustrator. I hate the program. Anyway, it's awesome, but maybe you could add the droid's shadow.

I personally really like the Mad Max setting. Small towns made from scrap metal, big fast cars pulled by camels, a society that was annihilated and is trying to pull itself together...

I'd like to participate in this. Since I've joined I want to do something post-apoc and maybe this is my chance. I also don't have an enormous pile of pieces, but I think I have enough for something like this.

Challenge accepted. And this is what I ended up with: I know it's not exactly small enough to be held by a Minifig, but I like it anyway :P Also, I only used parts from the mini Snowspeeder/AT-ST set.
