Posted January 28, 200718 yr I had this done a couple years ago, and Hopefully will do it this year if Snow falls and gives that fresh powder love look. Well, present you my Battle of Hoth The lonesome rebel, gulp! Gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=115111 This may be the wrong forum, so feel free to move.
January 28, 200718 yr Eurobricks Emperor Wow, you used real snow to take these pics. Looking great (almost real)! Excellent pictures.
January 28, 200718 yr Nice! Could use a little bit more of a army, but other than that, it rocks! -ZotS
January 28, 200718 yr That's fantastic :-D Oh man, I need four of the new AT-ATs to set up a good scene if we ever get snow like that again <_<
January 28, 200718 yr Wow, great! That is almost the way George Lucas made the actual film that was done with models too. I love the way you did the snow, it looks sooooo real :-D I really like the distant shots of the AT-AT coming out of the shadows.

January 29, 200718 yr Author Thanks all! There's no extra troops. That's all the hoth guys I have. I just bought two extra snowtroopers plus the two from the AT-AT set. I was quite careful whil placing these on the snow. You can see that the AT-ST was moved. I liked it there better. My favorite is picture number 7 with the shadows upon the AT-AT and AT-ST. Like I said, there might be another one this year. As these pics were taking a few years back.
January 29, 200718 yr Very cool! My only complaint is that you have the old AT-ST and not the hot new one. :-P
January 29, 200718 yr Very nice :-) , only thing i could do would be to sprinkle snow on the lego boards to hide them. Then I think it would look film-quality.
January 29, 200718 yr Author Cough Cough These were taken a couple years ago The new AT-ST hasn't even been thought of when I made these pics. You see why the baseplates are on the snow? Because I don't want snow on my Legos! Only my baseplates can take such harm. So, I only placed them as is. Hobbes: Their is a picture in the folder that has fx. I may re-do this one for prettier graphics.
January 30, 200718 yr That looks amazing! Some friends and I did a Battle of Hoth at a Sci-Fi convention a few years ago. We didn't have real snow, though. More photos here: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=173101
July 14, 200717 yr Very impressive IS. The snow adds the best background possible. I was going to suggest removing the baseplates as well, but just read why you have them there. You need a few white ones then. In any case, this looks really slick. I esp. like the scene with the snowtroopers. Lostcarpark: your scene looks good as well. I never got around to making a scene and taking pictures with my Hoth sets. :-(
