I started with the Clone Trooper and Battle Droid Battle Pack 75372 and made some microbuilds out of the parts. A battlepack might not be the best source of parts, as the purpose is to introduce minifigs, but I liked the challenge. I hope you like the result. The scenario is completely invented, I just wanted to stay in the spirit of some of the strategy games, where, well, the title and story might not always be the highlight of it Here is an additional image of parts that I did not use:

I've been wanting to turn my Speed Champions into space racers and the alt build contest seemed like a great opportunity. Turned out to be a lot of fun, good break from some of the larger projects I've been doing lately. Maybe the biggest challenge was to incorporate as many mudguard bricks as I could; the pairing between the white one and the windshield was a happy accident. I had kept the stickers off the car when I built it with the intention of turning it into a spaceship, it was fun to find the logic of the stripes and turn it into a new shape. It's considerably smaller than the car, probably uses about 70% of the parts. These were fun colors to work with and it was a nice break to have such a restricted parts selection as it kept the build small and focused. C&C always welcome, thank you for stopping by!

In the Cartoon Network show "Smiling Friends", Gwimbly is a retro 90's video game character who's trying to get back on his feet after falling on hard times. This recolored version of Gwimbly features his iconic cap and vest as well as half a pair of pants for some reason. You can unlock it in the original game by collecting fifty cans of creamed corn in the infamously difficult volcano level.
