Covi

Very nicely done! This is how a junkyard should be! Love all those little details you've put in place!

Thanks for the assistance!

Very nice MOC! Keep up the good work!

Thanks, very nice, but I kinda struggle to link my avatar in it (which is on Flickr). Any pointers to help me out on this? Thanks!

Just one word : amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!

Love that SNOT-floor, and nice details you've put in the scene. Great work on the piping also. One remark: the red toolbox feels a bit 'strange' or not in place.

Very true what you say.

Indeed, the brown is intended as 'mud' and the tan as 'sand'. I've created two sort of pits, in which one I could stick that droid, hence the name 'Mud' I will use during my storyline. About the plants : the comments are all correct, it was maybe added in a too randomly style. I was trying to recreate a sort of unvisited place where nature was gone very freely with its vegetation. The white flowers were chosen because of the color to add something more colourful because I thought it would otherwise lack some contrast since the ground was already in grey, brown and tan...which are also used in the speeder design. I hope this gives some clarification how I saw it, but nonetheless, I think all comments are very true. This was also my intention with my build : to get some pointers on this sort of builds (SNOT + plants) : it looks easy but isn't really exactly so very easy. :-) Thanks! The face and haircut are parts of Jor-Ell. The body is a part of Zolm. @ Brickdoctor : Yeah, I want this scored as my second free build for this episode. Thanks in advance.

Prologue Business hasn't been good as usual on the market, but somehow Covi sold all his scavenged metals. Life was getting harder for any living being since the Galactic Empire reigned. On his way back to home... [Covi]: Uh?! [Covi]: What a strange transmission this is...It looks like some sort of distress signal?! [Covi]: Better check it out. ... [Covi]: It must be here somewhere... XP-38A Freight LandSpeeder While certainly not the fastest LandSpeeder, the XP-38A Freight LandSpeeder still has much to offer and is perfect for anyone who's in need of a cheap speeder with a cargo bay. Manufacturer : SoroSuub Corporation Product line : LandSpeeder Length : 7,66 meters Maximum speed : 160 km/h Maximum altitude : 2 meters Armament : (none) Seat capacity : 2 Special features : - Cargo capacity of 120 kg, with rigging mount - Long-reach antenna - Back seat gun rack This is my proloque build showing how my SigFig and its droid met. I fooled a bit around with some SNOT landscaping, and tried to give a bit 'life' with some plants trying to create a 'swampish' feel. The speeder...well, I just wanted to do a speeder and tried to build one where I could fit in the droid (hence the cargo capacity). When I was building the speeder I had my mind on the colours I used to create a cheap and somehow old and dirty feeling. But together with my landscape it feels a bit lacking of contrast together. That's why I gave the foilage some extra pigments with the lime and orange. As always: any comments appreciated! Thanks.

Thanks for all the pointers! I will use that input on forthcoming MOCs.

Aha the secret reveiled! Many thanks...so simple, but so effective, would never found that! Thanks, much appreciated!

I'm going to do one or two free builds on my history also before I move building on the first episode. Want to learn a bit better my building skills on smaller vignettes. :-)

Great work! Nicely done! This vignette together with your story is just awesome!

Wooow, what an excellent build! Really love how you have done the rocks....and what about the facility : great atmosphere, nicely put several little details in place! Well done!

You're right in many ways. I tried to do it with a plain round 1x1 tile but I looked 'odd'. The one I used now is the only one I've in my collection and in my opinion I did a bit the trick, but not completely as you pointed out. The gap in the wardrobe is the result of using an technic pin to invert the bottom and top bricks. I haven't found any solution to remove them while keeping the wardrobe as sleek as it is now. Would love some help on that one because it's a technique that keeps me puzzled and I will need it for sure to have it better under control for further MOCs. @ Everybody : Greatly thanks for all positive feedback!

Many thanks for all those positive echos!

Thanks! No, it's a Rebel logo. You can find it on a Jedi Starfighter.

Speederdesign is really great but as MstrOfPppts stated, I also would try to put some sort of windscreen on it. Nice posing of the Rebel pilot hiding inside. Love it how he looks at the speeder and trying to hide!

It was already late at night, but someone on board of the Redemption was still awake.. [Covi]: No Mud, I haven't time now to play Virtual Chess. I'm still studying that Y-Wing locking computer. [Mud]: <beep> <beep> <pop> <tut> [Covi]: Don't know how long it will take. That computer really gives me a headache. If I could only find my notes...Yeah they would help me. Have you seen them around? [Mud]: <iep> <bob> <beep> [Covi]: Ah yeah, that's a good idea! I could have put it beneath my helmet in my closet. Let's see. Any remarks are highly appreciated. This is my first MOC, so I still got much building skills to learn. :-) PS: When I was looking for a sleek chair, I noticed the build of Brickdoctor on the SoNE intropages, so all credits for the chairdesign are his. :-)

Dont know for sure, but this is maybe an interesting link for you to read : http://www.lucajuventino.altervista.org/lego/red_track.htm

I'm going to do first some free builds for my back-story. I haven't done any MOC before so will try to build some experience with those builds.

As promised hereby my SigFig: Can it be updated in the Rebel Overview please. Thanks!

Superb, my idea was that my primary vessel would be an Y-Wing and would be cool to have a droid on my side. :-)

Can we have at this stage already a droid as a companion?

Very nice, but I think you should add something between the wheels because that space looks quite empty now. Maybe you fit some sort of fuel tank on it?
