Dark Sword Ragnarok Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) EDIT: Hold on guys, working on getting those pics up. For some reason it's not allowing the image tags or something, will be fixed ASAP! EDIT 2: Pic links have been fixed, turns out I was using the wrong flickr format. Whoops! Enjoy, sorry for the delay! Hey everybody, DSR again. Haven't been active around here for awhile, I know. I've been spending most my time around flickr lately, and just got to taking pics of everything I've been doing the last few months. Absence of my tripod has proven to ba a problem, and it's just been fixed. Now, there isn't a whole lot here, but I didn't want to start 5 different topics for all my stuff. This time around, I have: 2 previous MOCs modded 1 new CW set modded 3 Updated figs 3 New Clones (new squad, featuring Two-fourteen) 1 Brand spanking new alien Jedi (with a padawan!) 1 New mystery fig 1 Quick look into an digital engineering project I'm working on for school (lego related) So, lets get started! First off, we'll start with two of my favorite MOC's ever to spawn from the pile of bricks in my house; The Wolfen and tha Arwing! Both have been updated with better colors, updated weapons, and loads more greebs/details. Let's take a look at the Wolfen MK III first. A profile shot, with pilot/Jedi Jack Sisco (my sigfig) Hero you can see down the nose, and see alot of the new greebs around the cockpit. Also, take note of the round bley and black parts coming out of the engine pods. These are external engine batteries, the last upgrade needed(along with the larger engine block) to get the Wolfen to jump into hyperspace for a short amount of time. Not enough to make an entire trip across the stars, but when things get sticky, it can make a quick jump to safety. Here you can see alot of the new back section, with a new fin along the roof of the cockpit. Notice all the rubber band work up there? The new back, with a bunch of minifig hand detailing and more of that rubber band work. The new engine block. bigger, better, now able to make the jump into hyperspace! Here you can see the new EMP cannon alongside the cockpit (machine cannon on the other side, you can see it in the other pics.) Also, there's some decal work on one of the fins there. I like it alot. Thats all for the Wolfen for now, lets move on to the Arwing MK II; Here's a new profile pic of the Arwing. Added alot more dark red parts. Here with the wings folded up in high speed combat mode. Less manuverability, but twice the firepower and alot more speed too. The back of the Arwing, better engine area, more dark red. The back, with the G-Diffusers opened. And finally, since the original seemed to be so popular over at flickr, the Dynamic Duo with their respective pilots, Jack and Hinckley. Thats it for those two. Onto the set MOD: The AH AT: Armored Heavy Assault Tank, originally the AAT. The new tank, with a heavy mortar cannon. I've removed the main and side cannons, replacing them with the heavy mortar cannon and better armored sides instead of the cannons with the crappy flickfire missles. also the parts at an angle aren't loose anymore, since hte parts coming off where the cannons were is right up against it now. Also, I hated the little speeder that comes out of the back, so I ripped it up and made a ramp coming off the back. The pilot droid. He's up higher now, right up near the front. That's about it on that one, a quick half hour MOD. Now, onto the figs: Jack, Jessa and of course, Hinckley, posing with their new lightsabers. Thanks to Tekka Croe for the new lightsaber design used by Jack and Jessa! The new clones, an arctic division. New troops are a sniper (with enourmous sniper rifle), Scout/techie, and basic trooper. Leading this crack squad is our old chap, Two Fourteen, the british clone pilot, now a clone commando. The sniper and the scout, preparing to take a shot. The sniper, and the sniper rifle. One of my personal favorite brickbuilt weapons. Onto those new jedi. The idea for the head was inspired by Cloe Blaq. The padawan is mine, although it's probably been used before. Master Jedi Tongu, and his padawan (yet to be named). Heroic pose. Tongu with his custom polesaber. And Tongu's padawan, with a much smaller polesaber. Next up... Another new fig, but he's a mystery! It's also a very crappy pic, sorry. it adds to the mystery I suppose. Thats all for now with that. And, last but not least, a quick peek into a school project I've been working on in Autodesk Inventor 2009: A screencap of what Ive been working on, a clone trooper/jedi. The lightsaber took 5 minutes to draw and is not to scale, it was just a fun quick thing. The blaster was quick too. The torso has given me the hardest time so far, so many details on there. It's not based on any one torso, mostly created from mixes of different ones. And finally, something that's been a bit of a fad over on flickr, the custom lightsaber builder! Just had to jump on the bandwagon for this one. The webpage you can do these on is found here. Well that about wraps up all my recent projects, i'm hoping to start getting back into MOCing soon. Been busy with life lately. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed seeing all this. C@C welcome as always, and check out my flickr photostream here. Oh, and one last shot of the Wolfen, in an awesome dogfighting pose: Thanks everybody, happy building! DSR Edited February 25, 2009 by Dark Sword Ragnarok Quote
CommanderCody77 Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 To be honest I don't really like the fighters you made but everything else looks good Quote
pr0visorak Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I love the tank mod! Good to see Hicklyey joining the fun too! Quote
Dark Sword Ragnarok Posted February 24, 2009 Author Posted February 24, 2009 To be honest I don't really like the fighters you made but everything else looks good Thanks for being honest. I'm glad you like everything else though! Any suggestions for the fighters that would make them better? It may be just because they aren't really based on anything in SW, but actually from a video game. I like the general design of them, although I'm still unhappy with the Arwing's wing setup. The only part I do like is the fact that they fold up. I love the tank mod! Good to see Hinckley joining the fun too! Thanks. The tank MOD was the last thing I did. Those kind of Mods happen when I can't sleep and need something to do. I had one of those long black poles and thought, "Hmm, how can I encorperate this into something?" It was originally going to be a rail cannon on the side of something, but this worked out really well I think. And yes, Hinck has been joining in with my SW MOC's lately. I guess he likes the extra publicity. Besides, he makes a great pilot for the Arwing! DSR Quote
Dark Brickz Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 i like the mod you did to the att. where did you find those peices to do that? Quote
Dark Sword Ragnarok Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 I like the mod you did to the AAT. where did you find those peices to do that? If by that you mean the long black part, there was 4 of them in one of the old Rock Raiders sets. I think they may have been in more recent sets, but I'm not sure. A majority of the rest of the parts used were included in the set. DSR Quote
Natman8000 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Star fox stuff? I see we both have a liking for wolf o'donnel. But the truth is I had him as an avatar first so... But the models are only decent in my opinion, the Arwing needs some touching up. Quote
hopeso009 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Oh~~My God~~~ The clones are really in action ~~ yeah~~~ ( I really love their post, Brilliant!!! ) And the that two figures with brick-built head (are they droid or alien?) are also cool, especially the taller one I think you better take more photos and show us in new threads for both clones and those droids/aliens Very Brilliant built , I love it. The Star fighters are cool too. Interesting Jedi...especially the girl (I like girl ) Quote

But the models are only decent in my opinion, the Arwing needs some touching up. Yeah, Wolf O'Donnel is pretty awesome. Well, our avatars are different, so I don't really see a problem with it. Yeah, the arwing definately needs work, not much structure work has been done, I'm trying to find a good wing setup. Still. Oh~~My God~~~The clones are really in action ~~ yeah~~~ ( I really love their post, Brilliant!!! ) And the that two figures with brick-built head (are they droid or alien?) are also cool, especially the taller one I think you better take more photos and show us in new threads for both clones and those droids/aliens Very Brilliant built , I love it.

And maybe I will take some more photos of them, maybe a battle scene? Let me know what you think. Keep the comment's coming guys! Thanks so far! DSR Quote
