n1majneb Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 *Your entry has earned 3 XP* And with a final flash of light, the brilliant lights of hyperspace surrender to the dark of the Kashyyk system and, as I look on, Kashyyk stares back at me... I jump in system with still a good distance to navigate to Kashyyk, but flying slow on the sublights - and with a distance still to go ensures the Abiik A’Den remains undetected from any rogue surveillance the Imps may have in orbit keeping the Wookies under oppressive control and their liberators out. Thats why i'm here, in my travels wandering the Unknown Regions i've seen too much slavery and oppression, I can't simply standby anymore so the plan is to slip in, establish an intelligence base with the resistance and get the Empire out... Coming in slow allows me to check my gear, Blaster: Fully Charged, Pack: Fully Stocked and harnessed up - I'm going to be on foot from here on out and I know what lurks in the depths of the world forest... In what seems like no time, and yet an eternity flying slow I avoid detection and Kashyyk fills my cockpit. The time has given me plenty of time to study the geography of the planet and locate an L.Z. from those my resistance contact gave me that’ll get me close enough to the resistance cell and yet get me close to the garrison to gather intelligence and I think i’ve found an ideal site... Descending through the atmosphere I get my first view of the world forest planet, the peaceful forest hides the pain the Wookies have endured for too long Now, low enough to scan the land and under the tree canopy I mark my landing zone and then do another fly pass to see the scar of the imperial landscape cutting through the sea of green that suggests i've found my target, The Empire is still here as we thought! I see two scout craft heading out on patrol so make my way, unnoticed, to my landing site. Bucket on, I secure the A’den and exit. This Mandalorian has a mission… I Used this little build for the background from the ship and as the on planet wilderness: Spoiler Spoiler And this is the Abiik A'Den, my Mando's ship: Quote
Ross Fisher Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 As I've mentioned, I really like how atmospheric you've managed to make this feel with a relatively small build. Great photography! Quote
RocketBoy Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Love the vocabulary, especially the jargon. "Flying slow on the sublights" is just so cool. And as you know I admire making a small build go a long way. Great work. Quote
marvelBoy123 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 Nice ship and I love the minifigure posing in the last photo especially! Quote

I’ve been a Star Wars novel fan for a long time so I’m trying to improve my story telling too, 1 hour ago, marvelBoy123 said: Nice ship and I love the minifigure posing in the last photo especially! Thanks @marvelBoy123 I really like my ship build, I built it modular so I could get inside it for photos too I’m really pleased with this last image, I think is why I left this shot until last too Quote
Darth Bjorn Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 This is a really good example of how you make more with less. I love all the shots through the cockpit, where you see the planet and the forest. Good work on that part. There's a lot to improve on the models themselves, but I think you make great progress... Quote
n1majneb Posted July 5, 2020 Author Posted July 5, 2020 Thanks @Darth Bjorn I'll keep on finessing these builds! Quote
MKJoshA Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Nice perspective angles on your pictures! Some of them look a little grainy, maybe use lower ISO and more light? Quote

Thanks for your kind words @MKJoshA This was my first attempt using a light box so i'm always looking to learn and improve! Quote
