Darth Bjorn Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) *Your entry has earned 36 XP* Interlude: Spoiler Excerpt from Cdr. Bannon’s log: The Virgillia system was always going to be a challenge. Especially after our operation on the nearby Marat V. The sitting administration known as the Virgillian Free Alignment, had toppled the previous Imperial-backed aristocracy, and was now one of the strongest supporters of the New Republic in the Outer Rim. I rarely had praise for rebels, but the VFA forces had earned my respect. Still, Virgillia 7 played a pivotal role in the Imperial Triumvirates plans. Taking the system with brute force wasn’t an option. This operation called for different measures. Measures our ISB department had already put into place during the uprising of VFA. A deep undercover agent had infiltrated the leadership of the Virgillia Free Alignment shortly after the Battle of Yavin. Even though the outlaw regime patrolled the entire system, we had managed to land three ground reconnaissance squads. After losing contact with our last squad, it was clear that the Virgillians were alerted to our presence. In a last effort to salvage whatever intel our squads had intercepted, we sent in one of our best ISB officers. Director Hollon and his guard squadron quickly located the downed AT-ST, in the rocky flats near Vladamar’s Ridge. DT-F36: Director, no bodies on site. Director Hollon: Mmh… Casualties on both sides... Check the walkers comms log. I want to know if they took any prisoners... Looks like the outlaws have the same taste in military ordnance, as the rebel scum we fought on Sullust… DT-F36: Patching into the comms log now. *btzzzh-klitczzzzz-dzzeeee* DT-F36: Rerouting logs to your datapad Director. Director Hollon: Good! I'll have a closer look later. Prepare the shuttle! I want to visit an old friend before we leave this rock… /// Damn, wrecks are hard... Let me know what you think...

goatman461 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 fantastic positioning of that walker Quote
Darth Bjorn Posted January 29, 2021 Author Posted January 29, 2021 Thanks guys! @oh whale Yes and no - I’ve taken some structural and detail cues from GolPlaysWithLegos version. Imo it’s hard to top his version... 8 hours ago, goatman461 said: fantastic positioning of that walker Thanks! I got the inspiration from the ‘Legions’ landscape prop: Quote
Simulterious Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 Very nice! Terrain, the walker, fig posing, everything just works together so well... Quote
Professor Thaum Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 That wreckage is killer. Very nice rendering, especially the cockpit. Quote
n1majneb Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 I really like this - great job the positioning of that fallen walker is brilliant Quote
Brickwolf Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Absolutely great! The smoke coming out of the "eye" is a nice detail! Quote
marvelBoy123 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 The walker looks amazing and the angled crates are so cool! Quote

MKJoshA Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 That walker looks so much better than any official Lego AT-ST set. Amazing detail and I love the angles of the leg. Quote
dvogon Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Great setup. AT-ST walkers are difficult to replicate in Lego form. But you managed to keep proportions even with this subminifig scale walker. The fit & finish is great as usual. Quote
