My first mission - to find Boba Fett - wasn't successful, but my second one, on Maridun, was. So, I was given another assigment and if I do it properly, I'll be promoted - in Alliance Intelligence. Me and three other soldiers are searching through the plans. There's a hidden base of Black Sun here, on Coruscant, and it's leadership has had some problems lately. We have to find the base and see what the leaders are planning ... Without figs: My second try with SNOT, maybe it's a bit to clean but a room of this size needs nothing more in my opinion. Hope you like my modest contribution. ---- Thank you for help, Beaver, but I'm not really sure what to do? I did same as always ...

Episode VI - The Hunter becomes the Hunted After a successful mission on Endor, the construction of the Shield Generator was finally put back on track. Much blood was spilled, many Ewoks were killed, and many habitats were razed in a record time to make way for the Shield Generator. However, there has been growing sympathisers within the Imperial ranks towards all things sentient, that found Pointblank’s methods extreme and ruthlessly efficient, and made several complaints towards the Imperial command. Pointblank was relegated to performing unofficial sideshow tricks and duties, but his recent actions on Endor did catch the eye of the more reclusive Imperal Survey Corps. Many missions came and gone with relative ease. Just today, a mission came up personally marked “For your EYES only” to PointBlank through the ranks from Lord Vader. This particular mission has roused the attention of PointBlank, only because it involves the hunt for the undoubtedly the greatest bounty hunter of all time – Boba Fett. The mission was to deliver a “Thank You” package to Boba Fett, from Lord Vader. The package came in a nicely wrapped unassuming box, and Pointblank’s surgically enhanced senses did pick up a soft ticking with the package. Not known for his inquisition, but known for his no-questions non-subtle way of performing duties, Pointblank disregards it and sets out to look for the fabled Boba Fett. On board of Intolerance, Pointblank has manage to track Boba Fett to a secret hideout on Ord Mantell (part 1) and quickly learnt that he may soon make the jump to Mon Calamari (part 2). However, he quickly found out through all the chatter in the bounty hunter channels that Pointblank is not alone in delivering a package to Boba Fett, and this has set Boba Fett on high alert and keeping a low jittery profile. That also meant that trouble may be expected in Pointblank’s quest to delivering the package. “Finally, I get to have some fun” Pointblank thinks to himself with a grin. Part 1 - Ord Mantell Expecting trouble, the imperial command has decided to send a crew with Pointblank to deliver the package on Ord Mantell on said location. Smug and overconfident as usual, Pointblank thinks that's an overkill, and didn't like that idea at all, as an entire crew will only send alerts throughout Ord Mantell... especially where Ord Mantell is ridden with Bounty Hunters, Spies and Information Brokers. It didn't take long to locate Boba's "secret" hideout. Given the fact that Ord Mantell is one of the more dangerous planets to be on, and Boba's known for this deadly prowess, Boba must have felt no need to hide his own abode. Boba's hideout was easily the most standout of any on Ord Mantell. It's dual storey was higher than most structures, had a proper skylight and proper pavements. However, hidden to most, Pointblank noticed security systems in what seems like a fort on close examination. A droid operated a body scanning system from high above, with the scanner hidden quite cleverly behind the bush. On the door itself, there's another retina scanner. To the left, Pointblank noticed a conspicuous container which looked like it may be remotely activated and may contain unfriendly contents. To the right of the door, a mechanical arm extended out of what seemed to be discarded tyres complete the abandoned non-threatening facade of the compound. What was suspicious was that the end of that arm was a chain saw, and it was not rusty at all, and seemed to have speckles of fresh blood on the blade. Pointblank stood at an angle away from the mechanical arm and pressed the doorbell, ever ready and not knowing what to expect ... Continued at...

Part 2 - Mon Calamari Aftermath: The stun gun was spot on but wasn't effective against Boba Fett's personal shield generator. He was expecting trouble and had it turned on at the first sign of danger. Somehow, Boba Fett managed to detect the atmospheric entry of the launch pod, and was at the ready when Pointblank appeared. Pointblank thinks to himself. "Maybe Grand Inquisitor was right. As a special operative, perhaps a little subtlety and disguise is in order." Part 3 - Bothawui Main Story: Bothawui is the last known stop that Boba will make, and the last chance that Pointblank will ever get in delivering the note. The Bothawui system is filled with Spies and Rebel Cause Sympathizers. It will be hard to get around as an Imperial Agent without being noticed a mile away. Changing into his regular clothes, Pointblank enlisted the help of a female bounty hunter as a companion to blend into Bothans' community, and approach the hideout and location of Boba Fett and a suspected Rebel Intelligence Outpost. Pointblank managed to hack open the front door, but must have triggered a silent alarm as a Bothan Guard appeared in the overlook above. Unclear whether to engage, or to retrograde from the mission, Pointblank calls his commanding officer for advice. Continues below ... Main Picture The design of this build was inspired by pictures at star wars wiki sites that depict Bothan structures are majestic similar to rich persian eras, but ridden with high tech spying and communication technology. That has allowed me to create cauldrons, the use of clear glass and stepped tiles, with a more uniform look in the main building. The communication technology is depicted in the large radar dish which also allows me to create an underground intelligence outpost. Being secret and all, I have incorporated Lego LEDs lights into the construction of the underground outpost, with the battery box hidden behind a rock structure and disguised as a generator. All done painstakingly to keep within the 16x16 challenge requirement. - Pointblank communicates with his commanding officer via holo-pad communicator about engagement protocols and advice, as a Bothan Guard confronts Pointblank, overlooking from a perch high above. - Boba Fett attempts to escape through an underground passage with the data plans. - A trooper working in an underground intelligence outpost, looking at a screen of how the Shield Generator is deployed around Endor to protect the Death Star. - A close up view of trooper working in chair in an underground intelligence outpost. Notice the LED lights fitted into grilled ceiling. - A trapdoor play feature to access the underground chamber. Just for fun Notes: This is a first time I am incorporating Lego LED lights into a build. This is to better illustrate (and illuminate) a hidden secretive outpost below the main Bothan compound. I have hidden the battery box and wires into the build (as shown above) behind rock structures, with a side opening to access the switch. Tubes protrude out of the battery box in order to portray a generator of sorts, with a cheeky pickaxe and a lamp. Last but not least, I would like to give thanks to Mstrofppts for giving me the idea of using Splinter as a Bothan. I was contemplating using a Chima figure, but was way too cartoony for my liking. Splinter was a much better choice. As usual, comments and criticisms welcomed. ====================================================================== Edit: At requests from Aland, I have incorporated some night shots to further enhance the storyline. Story Continuation (from above): Pointblank's commanding officer has instructed to not stir the hornet's nest and advice for Pointblank to try again another time. Under the cover of Darkness, Pointblank infiltrated the Bothan compound and managed to find the intel outpost, and disable the Rebel Trooper. Alas, He was too late. Boba Fett has already left the building. "I need to report back HQ at once" " Hope you like the lights " Note: I did some minor modification to the flames cauldron in order to insert the led lights under them. 99% of the build remains unchanged. - A close up view
