Darth Bjorn Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 *Your entry has earned 14 XP* Excerpt from TK-7447 mission log: Usually these urban infiltration missions means going deep on some heavily secured Separatist world. This time however, the seps have come to us. Intelligence says that the seps are going for an encrypted data vault on Byblos. Fortunately the seps are underestimating us as always. If I didn’t know any better I’d say the seps are letting us win the war... Srg. Hawkes: Cobalt Squad come in. This is Hawkes reporting. We're in position on the rooftop. Two clankers on guard. Begin the ascend. Standing by. B1-321: All good, nothing to report.B1-7777: Roger, roger! CT-3631: Copy that! The sever entrance is clear. Domes and Tick is making their way up there. CT-7005: Domes reporting. I'm tailing Tick through the depot. All clear. Yrizzt-Tzal: Whatzz takin' zo kriffing long?!? We needzz da filezz! Ima-Frey: Shut it sleemo. I'm working as fast as I can. CT-7104: *whispering* Tick here. I'm in the vent just above the mainframe. Ready to move in. Standing by. /// This was a good challenge to do some vertical building! Hope you enjoy the cliffhanger! ;) Spoiler Really happy with that mainframe/server thingy... Need to find another good spot for it in a future moc... The Byblos sever is very slimy... Quote
marvelBoy123 Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 Awesome build with so many little details! Nice to see a range of classic star wars insults too. Quote
Ross Fisher Posted May 27, 2020 Posted May 27, 2020 I love how many layers you've built into this design. It all looks great. Nice way to demonstrate their skills. Quote
Gubi0222 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 It's a very well thought out build. The layout, the colors and the used parts are pretty much perfect. the balance between the cleaner builded sections and the smaller detials is also great and the story is neat too. Quote
dvogon Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Great vertical build! I like a lot the different textures you applied to the different levels. The sided boxes conform a very nice effect, and I love that assault from the green waters. Quote
karmajay Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Great job! I like the details that really fit with the story! Quote
Merc4Hire Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Dang you have been on a roll; great build! Lots of details. I really like the first layer. Quote
Darth Bjorn Posted May 29, 2020 Author Posted May 29, 2020 Thanks guys, I was not entirely satisfied, so it is really nice to hear you appreciate the details... :) Quote
Simulterious Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 This will definitely be the top build of the challenge (although Gubi's chase on Exodeen is also a good pick)! Quote
DrMuttonchops Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 Holy cow Bjorn, the mainframe is fantastic! Hands-down my favorite is your use of the lever handles as a base for the holo/book piece that Ima-Frey is using (and great use of star wars cursing)! I haven't seen that before and it works extremely well The slime is extremely dynamic and pretty disgusting looking, the drip in the back is excellent. Great angling on the roof, it looks quite realistic as do the "brick" bricks in the walls and the cheese slopes used for broken/missing wall pieces! The overall studless appearance is very cool. What species is Yrizzt-Tzai? Quote
Darth Bjorn Posted May 30, 2020 Author Posted May 30, 2020 @DrMuttonchops Thanks for noticing all the little details. Yrizzt-Tzai could be a Trandoshan (I think that head works well as a 'helmet-trandoshan head'), or maybe a Tarasin, Barabel or Saurin. What do you think - any suggestions? Quote

Barabel have the least snouty face, so that might work! I always think of them as dark red from the old Shadows of the Empire comic, but most of the images show them as green! Really, any of the four would work great as an "in-helmet" head. I'm a gigantic SW nerd but I hadn't heard of the Tarasin, so thank you! I'll have to introduce one into my SWRPG. Edit: Part 34721b from the Ninjago Shark Army General's collar might work really well for a Tarasin's neck frill in the future! Edited May 30, 2020 by DrMuttonchops added neck frill Quote

I made my own piece in a previous Factions entry, to portray the Tarasin on their home world Cularin: @DrMuttonchops I'm a massive SW fan myself - especially planets and species is my kink. You should totally join the Factions RPG? Quote
Tariq j Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Great work here! Reminds me a lot of the Citadel Arc. I like the use of the box pieces as computer units. And cramped/confined feel of the slime area. Quote

You should totally join the Factions RPG? I don't know how I missed seeing that post, you did a great job! And I've been toying with joining Factions or Dark Times, but I don't have a large part pool that isn't from the 90s (few brackets/SNOT bricks) which kinda limits my building. I've bricklinked stuff for specific projects but I'm much better at modifying than building de novo! Quote

DrMuttonchops Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Thanks man! :) But I do need to practice more builds, so I'll start practicing with what I have! Quote
Basiliscus Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Brilliant multi-level build! I really like the clone trooper poking his head through the vent, that's a lovely detail. On the top level you did a good job of breaking up the exterior panels using some of the new tiles, it looks more "natural". Quote
