Hi LegoFan117, I've updated the title for you.

All entries are considered a 'Work In Progress' until the deadline, so you can make further changes if you want to (you've still got plenty of time!)

Thanks Lobot! :)

I would say its a good start! It certainly has the feel of Echo Base. I'd like to see a few more pictures from different angles.

Can I make a suggestion? Try making your mini figures a bit more 'dynamic' , their poses are a little bit static at the moment. Try moving one of their legs backwards and have the non-gun arm pointing downwards slightly, and vary the poses more from figure to figure - it will make a world of difference, I promise!

Nice scene: you've started in the right directions, but I think you should elaborate some aspects.

In the top part, you've added some relief with layers of plates. And in the bottom part, you used some rock pieces. Great, but try adding some more slopes, some extra wear on the floor. After all, the base got pretty beaten up when it was attacked.

I like the technical looking support beams you used. Try adding more of those details. Some tubing on the roof and in some corners would do the scene good. You could try to use less prefabricated pieces, and let yourself go with crazy part combinations.

Last thing are all the different pieces, scattered across the scene. They too are nice, but could use more detail. Place the chairs at an elevation, use panels for the screen, give that red box some trays or tubes... you could do a lot to make the scene more interesting.

So... a good beginning indeed!

Thanks for the Feedback both of you, I am extremely grateful for the Posititivity and Support you have shown! :) I am going to go on now and again, make the fourth variant of this base. :)

I can't tell if those are grates or a ladder on the ground but it is a really nice effect! You might want to experiment with different shading techniques when you are rendering the picture though. Right now it's pretty flat.

If I'm not mistake this is not rendered at all. If taking screenshots directly from LDD I'd suggest to at least turn on the "High-quality rendering of bricks placed in the scene" and "Outlines on bricks" under preferences. This will make the MOC look more realistic and not like it's all in one piece. If your computer is too slow just turn it on for taking the screenshot. I'd also suggest to make the decision to either make a fully studded or completely studless creation. Studs under the piping don't go together well with the smooth plates right next to it. I'd suggest to go completely studless for some extra challenge. It's a bit harder, but you have all the parts available since you're using LDD. Another advantage of LDD is the possibility to go big so don't be afraid to expand the creation over time ... Otherwise it's a good start!

This is sadly it guys, my Laptop was lagging out so I had to delete LDD. :-( May redownload it, but all my projects are gone. :-(

You didn't save the project!? That's unfortunate... Even if you are Rebel scum!

Only just realised I did save it, so when I reinstall it, I can access it! :D

Hooray for surprises like that!
