Donnie Bricko Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 After the crash we had to scramble to secure shelter from the storm. Trooper Tac and I marked the major portions of the wreckage so that we could dig them out once the storm passed. After a couple of days we determined that it was safe to start digging out. As we uncovered the wreckage, we discovered that we were really fortunate because all of the communication equipment was intact and usable as well as the majority of the engine assembly. We had our work cut out…first to build a communication tower and second to build a land speeder in case we are not able to hale rescue. Two days later we had the communication tower up and running, however we had zero success reaching anyone. After several more days, without communication success, we had a working speeder constructed. Before departing, we placed and set several timed thermal detonators on the remaining wreckage and the comm tower to cover our tracks as well as possible. “Tac, let’s get on our way”, I said, “I have a feeling that we’ve got a new adventure ahead of us.” Top view Speeder Extra parts used: 2 tan slopes tan 16 x 16 plate rebel trooper (5 parts) blaster Tan baseplate (free) DonnieBricko Quote
MstrOfPppts Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 That is one lovely speeder! Very nicely built and a great idea. The wreackages and everything around is nice too. Like the use of multiple baseplates - this way there's nothing conecting the pieces, but still is the void and does not feel empty or missing the scrap parts as a huge baseplate with only the builds would.

Rogue Angel Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 The speeder is definitely my favorite part of this build. I love the design, especially the engines. good work! Quote
LegoFjotten Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Nice build! The speeder is the highlight for me, but the wreckages looks good too. Good work! Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I really like the speeder design. The wreckages are nice too Quote
MKJoshA Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 The speeder reminds me of a Star Trek ship. I love it! Quote
