[M4-24 - Duel of the Fates] - Assasins on Eclinsonite

[MandoLando]

 

Wind screeched. Red dirt blew. A speeder whizzed by, disturbing the tranquil quietness of the cliffs on Eclinsonite. On it were two greedy, hapless mercenaries, who, prior, had just exited alive with a plentiful of precious credits. The bright-orange speeder sped along the deadly switchbacks, all-the-way overlooking a sheer, rocky drop onto sun-baked soil.

 

The two rode along in the threatening heat of the day. Abruptly, the one-eyed driver brought the hovering vehicle to a halt.

 

“What’s the matter?” grunted the Klatoonian on the back in frustration. The one-eyed driver, clothed in dark apparel, scanned the premises with high alert.

 

“Eh, thought I heard something.” He continued to glare around, the orbiting twin suns forcing him to squint his eye.

 

Then he saw it. A faded-red droid, lurking beside a curvy native tree with a rifle. The droid held it at them threateningly.

 

“It’s that scumrat droid again!” Gasped the Klatoonian mercenary. “Punch it!”

 

The one-eyed thug full-throttled the accelerator, and away they went. The bounty hunting droid fired continuous shots, them all accurate. They hit the rear-engine, which made it overheat. The Klatoonian on the back yelped as he was jolted off. The one-eyed thief attempted to fire back, but the shots were useless.

 

Suddenly, a dark robotic figure emerged from the front. Jet propulsion under its metal boots, it tackled the one-eyed thug off the speeder and onto the red dirt. He then tumbled off the edge with a frightened scream. The speeder crashed into a nearby tree, setting the area ablaze.

The black android, a refurbished dark trooper, pulled out an extinguisher and quickly put out the flames.

 

“Are the credits unharmed?” asked the red droid in a glitchy voice. The Dark Trooper scoured the rubbish of the wreck and located a burnt leather bag.

 

“Affirmative.” announced it in droidspeak. “That was fun.”

 

The End

Or was it..?

Hello MandoLando, 

A nice little scene!

However, the resolution is quite low. I guess you tried to attach a pic directly to the post? I made the same lesson when I started here recently. It won't work, there is so little space for uploads. Don't  bother with trying. Maybe you have a flickr account and can reference the pics in high resolution there? It's how I do it. And if not, one is easily set up. Just don't use your real name if you don't want to. It will be displayed for everyone (another lesson)

I like the front of your speeder bike very much, by the way

I second what Sentinel_Brix said! Flickr is a great way to do images here on Eurobricks. Plus you can have photos of all your builds handy on there and you can have a "portfolio" of sorts. To get a bit more specific about what to do (I don't know about you but I am not the most tech literate person out there), upload your pics on there, click into one, click the downward arrow icon next to the shopping cart, click "view all sizes," select the image size you want, then right click on it and select "copy image address". Then when you're on Eurobricks, click "insert other media" off to the right, select "insert image from URL" and paste the link in. That's how I do it anyway.

I like your minifigs a lot, also the wavy tree and the imaginative world building. Great job!
