n1majneb Posted December 24, 2020 Posted December 24, 2020 *Your entry has earned 10 XP* As the Pyerce Agents and sympathisers left the bar I followed at a distance, with a shawl wrapped around me I looked no different to the other homeless who sheltered in the narrow alleyways. The looming shadows of the concrete forest towering above, hiding both them and criminal activity from those who chose to look the other way... Ahead of me, two of the Pyerce loyalists stopped - deep in discussion. Within ear shot I tucked myself into the doorway of some homestead and listened on. Bar Imperial ego stroking, they disclosed their game-plan to me:- Tomorrow, several Pyerce agents would be meeting an incoming ship to load cargo and valuables, all loot from Mandalore's tragic recent history to fund Pyerce's return. The meeting point was a building not too far from here, I knew the building well - a story for another time. I didn't have long, as the agents retreated into the darkness ahead I resolved to muster my comrades and put an end to this occupation on Mandalore for good. We didn't need another unhappy Imperial story. I stopped. At the base of the Stairwell I had hid in, a mother was trying to keep her child warm. Caught in the web of pursuit I had paid little attention and I kicked myself for this and made my approach, cowering before me, expecting to be robbed, I revealed my armour to them and I made conversation. I couldn't offer them riches but I could offer something better - hope, I gave them food and my cloak and asked they come with me. I could offer shelter and company to which they greatly accepted. On Mandalore, it's holiday season for Life day but beyond that, it was the right thing to do. When Clan Eldar restores Mandalore to freedom we'll rely on the public as much as they will rely on us... Merry Christmas! Spoiler My last Cat A entry before the story leads me to the Cat B build. I'm pleased with the way I was able to present this one, I think i've been able to demonstrate the narrow alley fading into the bowels of Mandalore's underworld. It's purposefully claustrophobic to add to the story I was telling but some additional images as below: Happy holidays, and if you can - especially after this crazy year! - please think of those less fortunate, Quote
RocketBoy Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Between the writing and the building, this might be my favorite post of the episode so far. The build is evocative and atmospheric (especially empty, when you can see the details) but the writing is genuinely touching. Thank you for this. Edited December 25, 2020 by RocketBoy Quote

Thanks @RocketBoy for the kind words on this build, it means a lot to me. I really wanted this last build to be poignant (the microfigures being spied on was the first little bit I built for the episode before parking to create the rest of my wider story) as I’d envisaged dropping this Christmas Eve so really pleased the story comes across. Throughout my builds for the category I’ve played with scale and I’m glad the depressed, claustrophobic aesthetics come across! Quote
marvelBoy123 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 I have to agree, claustrophobic feel really comes across well. Definitely one of your best builds yet! Quote

Denal31 Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Nice alleyway design. The story here is excellent as well. Quote
MKJoshA Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 A properly cluttered build. The broken dark red 4x4 curved plate makes me tear up. And is that a broken bar of some kind you used for the stair railing? Quote
dvogon Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 Nice build with a great atmosphere and lots of details, well done! Quote

It Is certainly one that pulls at the heart strings, the empire left a rot in place of government.

I’ve been keeping my broken bricks for specific run down builds- I’m glad you noticed this. The rail is a pin that holds the rails together in the train rail packs. it’s essentially a bar and I’ve previously used it as detail in other builds. Last as the veins in a moisture vaporator. The subtle detail works well 5 hours ago, dvogon said: Nice build with a great atmosphere and lots of details, well done! Thanks, this build really came together very quickly and I wanted to add a thoughtful piece into my entries that sat alongside the Pyerce story line, Quote
