[SoNE] - FreeBuild - Launch of Intolerance v2.0 on Fondor

[Pointblank]

Secret Shipyard on Fondor for Intolerance Ver 2.0.

After the Battle of Yavin, the Galatic Empire seized control of Fondor and its shipyards. When the Emperor ordered the Executor to be built by Fondor Shipyards, Kuat Drive Yards (KDY) was very displeased as it was responsible for most of the Empire's fleets before that. Fondor gave all of its time and resources in constructing the SSD.

However, very few know of another reason why the Empire shifted ship construction exclusively to Fondor. Whilst the Executor was constructed on Fondor, the Imperial Department of Military Research (IMD) secretly commissioned some of the resources on Fondor into the construction of Intolerance v.2 to improve on several combat areas, including a sub class 1 Hyperdrive, better weapon loadout, better defensive capability, increased (+2) fighter capacity, larger command bridge and a large hangar capacity to house ships and mechs for varied classified missions. This is off the back of a very successful test of ver 1.0, which was constructed largely to test its stealth ability and speed.

This was constructed and build in utmost secrecy, and because of its relatively small size (380m in length), it was concealed from most of the Imperials, and was unknown to the Rebels.

The below was a capture of the launch facility and the Intolerance ver 2.0. The old version 1.0 can be found here .

Footnote to the above pic: there is actually a troop loader towards the front of Intolerance loading up Stormtroopers. If you squint, you will see that Pointblank was amongst them

I like 7th picture looks great!

Nice micro-build! I do believe that your At-At should be slightly larger for consistency in the scale, but outside of that it is great!

Thanks Cagast, that was picture just to show the new rear. Glad you liked it!

Yeah, agreed, I did toy around that a bit, but couldn't get one to fit closer to scale to Intolerance. Either that it became too chunky and ended looking too much a turtle . I did the tie fighter a little later, so it does look a little out of whack when put altogether.

What I have learnt from all these is micro scale isn't as easy as it looks, but it's more fun and consume more parts than I originally thought. This is the first micro scale MOC I have actually done, so it's all new and really fun to me. Makes me want to bricklink more parts to get on my next micro scale build.
