xboxtravis7992 Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) A little LDD project I was working on this afternoon. Its a Rebel (or maybe Resistance) style outpost built along a ruined wall. Its a simple build, but I had some fun designing it. I used the Bluerender software to render it. Probably the funnest part of the build for me was this speeder based on the T2B Tank from several old Star Wars video games. Unlike the in-game versions, this one's main blaster canons have been replaced by a claw/crane for salvage and cargo. Basically imagine this as a speeder version of a tow truck. ;) It shouldn't be to hard to MOD it to include the in-game turret. The black bits on the side are supposed to represent locations for stud-shooters, for "playability" The main base itself. I decided to build it as an open air, against a ruined wall type deal. Mostly because I didn't want the hassle of building all four walls and a roof... There is a fusion generator, a computer terminal hidden under the wood shack. Crates, blasters, and an astromech charging port ala-Phantom Menace. I really like the idea of the "ugly" droid pieced together using old battle droid parts in the back. Must have been a Jawa special sale. Probably though the droids I am happiest with... A pair of G2 droids and an RX droid from the under-appreciated Star Tours ride (seriously there should be more MOCs based on that ride...) The RX droid is actually part of canon, appearing in the first season of Star Wars: Rebels, while G2 droids were mentioned in the former Legends canon serving the smuggler Talon Karrde. They are updated versions of an older design of mine. The photoreceptors of the RX droid aren't supposed to be that blue, that is a small rendering error I think caused by the blue background. Hope you enjoyed this brief MOC! Edited April 11, 2016 by xboxtravis7992 Quote
Forresto Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 A rebel chop shop I like it. Reminds me a little of when you first get the dune buggy car in Half Life 2. Quote
xboxtravis7992 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 Thanks for the compliments! Sorry to post again so quickly, but I am having fun modding the speeders. In addition to the scavenger speeder, I made a slimmed down police version and a bulked up "true to game" T2B Tank: My trio of speeders: Rear view of the speeders: Police speeder render, basically the cargo speeder sleeker with a new color: And the "Empire at War" version of the T2B tank. The 1x4 bley bricks can be replaced by spring shooters, or slimmed down to a more realistic look with slopes and plates: And for fun, a wireframe of the police speeder: Quote
Only Sinner Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Pretty clever idea, and I really like those speeders! Quote
