Commander Smith

What all sets were in the find? Looks amazing! o_O

I feel for you, bro. But my jaw fell into my current WIP model, so let me retrieve it...

You could definitely start a Lego Ideas campaign with this. If people knew about it, it would have to become a set. It's that good.

I like that. I remember that scene from the books. Nice tiled floor and good walls. Very orderly and Imperial.

If you mean the thing near the lower left, in the original release of the Lego Star Wars Visual Dictionary, it was explained in Chapter 4, "Beyond the Brick," that that was an unreleased sketch model of the Yavin 4 base. Cheers, fmmmlee

When does episode 8 come out (of SoNE, not SW LOL)?

Well, Kodan, my next story might be having the Rebels stealing a new Imperial walker....maybe even yours!

Thanks! I think my specialty is speeders and walkers, since they don't require a lot of planning or bricks. I just build what I want!

Err...it is you.

Nice storyline. I'll try to incorporate this story-ness into my builds too.

I have that same 2X4. It might say "patent pend." on it somewhere.

Don't worry, more is definitely on the way, it's just bedtime! P.S. See my backstory freebuild for more information on the clones. They deserted, refusing to comply with Order 66.

Briefing Room, Rogue Clone Base, Nar Eurbrikka: Clone Commander: "Troops, while doing some recon work, I found the cannon the Imperials are using to shell our main base. It's manned by recruits and not our brothers, so take no prisoners." Clone Scout: "Sir, can I take my new sniper rifle? Pleeease?" Commander: "Sure, but remember, it'll be heavy." Scout: "Yay!" (Stormtrooper to himself, listening): "I'd better get back to base and tell the commander. That's an important artillery piece!" Landing Pad, Rogue base: Commander: "Get a move on there, Tix!" Scout (Tix): "This sniper rifle is...[grunt]...heavy!" Commander: "Told you. Now get in the RIG!" [Nomenclature: RIG, Rapid Insertion Gunship, my own invention] Tix: "Sure...Hey! Why do you get the speeder bike?" Commander: "Because, well, I'm the commander and I assign vehicles. Get in the ship!" Meanwhile... Forest between Rogue base and Imperial Outpost Stormtrooper: "Ouch! Oohh..myanklemyanklemyankle!!! Darned planet! Now I can't move, and our gun will be destroyed. Arghh!!" Imperial Outpost: Commander Smith: "Eat fried artillery cannon, stormies!" [Cue loud explosion] Smith: "Hey! There's one less dead stormtrooper than there should be! Let's keep a sharp eye out on the way back to base." Forest between Rogue base and Imperial Outpost Smith: "Here he is...[in a loud voice] You! Are you a clone or a recruit!" Stormtrooper: "Just a clone." Smith: "How would you like to have a life where you get to shoot the guys who enslaved you, drive huge gunships, and make those worthless recruits eat lasers?" Stormtrooper: "Really? Awesome!!" Smith: "I'm Commander Smith. Let's get you some new armor." To be continued... The speeder is an Aratech Industries LRS-14 (non-canon). It does have steering vanes; the grooves in the wheel piece act as them. The steering rod doubles as a Mark IV armor-piercing laser cannon, which gets one shot before it needs to recharge. Thanks, and as always, please comment! ---fmmmlee---

Yeah, I changed my SoNE Profile pic too, last time in a while, I hope.

Not much interest, but...it stands for All Terrain-Personal Transport!

Hi- Today I'm posting a new 1-seat walker. Here it is with the cockpit open: Smith and Tix created this walker out of parts after their gunship crashed on their planet in the outer rim. They're going to use it to return to base. ---fmmmlee--- P.S. My photo studio was a roll of butcher paper, a table, and a smartphone!

Thanks!

Just like a link, like "fli.kr/p/sdfsblahblah"? Because, as you can see, it's not exactly right.... I edited it on flikr to 100x94 px.

I combined this with the actual post. Not sure how to delete this post (just this one, not the actual original with pictures and stuff) though.

Hi all- Since I joined SoNE I decided to give a bit of a backstory to my character. Here it is: After the closure of the Clone Wars, Mar, Rane, Smith, and Tix (sorry for the crazy names) felt their duty was done. Smith realized they were being used. They weren't getting their rights as humans. So they determined to strike out on their own, take down the Empire and set their brothers free. So they deserted. After procuring their old armor from an Imperial base, they departed to the mid-outer rim and built their own. Here is a small guard-house: That's all for now. One of my first MOC posts! Bye. --fmmmlee--- P.S. Sorry for the bad backgrounds and pic quality. Can't exceed 100 kb, and I don't have really good background materials. P.P.S. Oh, yes, should this go in the main SW Forum because it's a freebuild? I've heard about freebuilds being in Watto's Junkyard, though. Clue me in.

Oh, yes, and where exactly would I post an MOC backstory for my avatar (My SONE one)?

Hm...can't get the signature code to work. Suggestions?S

I'd like to join with the Rebels, please. Can I post a sig-fig with clone armor, or helmet? Or is that too close to Imperial Fashion? P.S. Rebel Trooper.

I never expected a weedwacker....

Thanks for the suggestions. I had in mind more of a vehicle-type design, like a ripsaw. Thing is power functions motors are nowhere near fast/powerful enough to make a good ripsaw, and anyway I've already made a simple r/c tracked vehicle. Is there any car/truck design that doesn't require a servo?
