LucasLaughing Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Note: This freebuild and my next one are homages to one of the great American war films (Great? Wars not make one great). This freebuild takes place several months after my Ep VIII Entry. ---------------- Everyone gets everything they want. I wanted a mission, and for my sins they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice mission, and when it was over I'd never want another. Oh yeah, Sergeant. The bastards had given me a promotion. I suppose on datapad the engagement at Clovis looked good enough. Using a pair of TIE Bombers for CAS we killed over 200 of the local rebels, and only suffered two Imperial fatalities. Of course, when those two fatalities are your closest friends, closer than brothers, and when you're the one who killed them by calling in an airstrike to the wrong grid ... well, it doesn't look as good anymore. Back to Mos Eisley? Sh*t. I must be in trouble this time. Is this about that REMF who had a big mouth and ended up with a broken face? No, no ... I already got written up for that one. -------------------------- The film in question, of course, is Apocalypse Now. I got all the comic bubbles and text from Picmonkey.com (free!). I like the effect, but it's pretty time consuming. What do you all think? Quote
TenorPenny Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I like the story. The mini-TIE Bomber was my favourite part, however. Quote
goatman461 Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 great looking room, you really got some good shots of it and the proportion seems to be perfect. the bathroom is a nice touch, too and I like that the sink looks slightly strange. the tie bomber dream is cool too, great effects. i think a few pipes or wiring (greebles) breaking up the wall might have made feel a little more like Star Wars, but it's not too hard to imagine that in the universe.

MontyPython Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I love the smell of napalm in the morning... Build is really nice, it's good to see some casual builds. And the story - fantastic! Quote
deraven Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 The proportions and detail are great, and it's a lovely homage. I agree that the micro TIE Bomber is excellent! Quote
Lego Fett Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 The room is very good, as well as everything else! Quote
Jacob Nion Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 Gave me a laugh this morning. Nice work! I like how the bubbles are a bit transparent. Quote
LucasLaughing Posted September 4, 2015 Author Posted September 4, 2015 I like the story. The mini-TIE Bomber was my favourite part, however. The proportions and detail are great, and it's a lovely homage. I agree that the micro TIE Bomber is excellent! Thanks! It took me a while to get the TIE Bomber right ... great looking room, you really got some good shots of it and the proportion seems to be perfect. the bathroom is a nice touch, too and I like that the sink looks slightly strange. the tie bomber dream is cool too, great effects. i think a few pipes or wiring (greebles) breaking up the wall might have made feel a little more like Star Wars, but it's not too hard to imagine that in the universe. Thank you! Yeah, the room walls could have used a bit more detailing. I was able to get the effects in the TIE bomber shot just using GIMP - I've been messing around with the various paint brush options, and the "spark" and "smoke" brushes have come in handy for a few different builds. I love the smell of napalm in the morning... Build is really nice, it's good to see some casual builds. And the story - fantastic! Smells like ... victory. Thanks! The room is very good, as well as everything else! Thank you! Gave me a laugh this morning. Nice work! I like how the bubbles are a bit transparent. Thanks! The effects on Picmonkey.com are really nice - you can choose how much transparancy or fade you want them to have. I'm not affiliated with the site at all, but they're free and I use them a lot so I figure I should talk them up when possible Quote
MKJoshA Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 This is a great tie-in to your last build! It doesn't have the SW feel to it, but the story makes up for that by far! Good work! Quote
Commander Beltar Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Really great build, I love that TIE Bomber! The story is really great, and that room is awesome! I love how you made the floor not completely flat, I also like all the other details around like the furniture, (A electronic outlet or Air Conditioning?), and the bathroom. All these little details around really add to the build! ~Beltar Quote
Aland1916 Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I watched the film yesterday and the I saw this MOC ... Great build, nice scene and photography and ofcourse - great story! The horror... the horror ... Edited September 9, 2015 by Aland1916 Quote

Lord Tyrus Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Love that scene where your character turns around and those officers just look at each other! Quote
