goatman461 Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 The Rebel forces, under the direction of Admiral Ackbar, began construction of a new starfighter specifically designed to counter Imperial capital ships. At last, a prototype was built on a secret base and ready to be inspected by the famed Mon Calamari tactician. The rebel crew carefully maintained the new "B-Wing" starfighter on an awkward, yet stable docking platform. Visiting Rebel pilots were also introduced to a new "A-Wing" starfighter which could back up the B-Wing on its attack runs by intercepting TIE squadrons. Admiral Ackbar and his entourage were on site to inspect the production and get a glimpse of the new starfighter. The delegation was greatly impressed and some thought that Ackbar even teared up, but none could be sure because he generally looks wet and emotionless. As he reached out to touch the starfighter that could mean the liberation of the entire galaxy, two ISB saboteurs put their month-long plan in to play. "46-2, this is 46-1, do you copy?" ... "2 copy" "The fish is in the barrel, repeat, the fish is in the barrel, what is your status?" ... "Diversion 1 in place, I am moving into position with the secondary charges." "Good work 2, I'm in position behind the upper level guard and ready to take the keys, detonate when you are ready." ... "Roger 1, good luck." "Thanks 2, get home safe." ... "In 3 ... 2 ... "...1" The ISB saboteurs detonated a bomb to cause a diversion and disable the nearby A-Wing crew. Taking advantage of the diversion, Goatm disarmed the upper level guard and threw him to his death. The mechanic's next task was to free the lower docking mechanism of the B-Wing. To do this he slid a second bomb past the nearby Nautolan and kicked the feet out from under the nearby Rebel guard. After disabling the guard with a wrench, the mechanic took the guard's blaster and eliminated the Nautolan witness. From above, Goatm saw the 2nd blast out of the corner of his eye. However, he is too busy eliminating Rebel pilots to check on his mechanic friend. Unfortunately the nearby A-Wing was disabled by blast. The mechanic would have to find a new route home. The mission also failed to kill Ackbar as his assistant's face intercepted the blast intended for the back of the Admiral's head. Goatm was able to obtain the B-Wing prototype and pilot the awkward craft to a secret location for inspection and analysis. While losing the prototype is merely a setback for the Rebellion, the shock to morale will have strong repercussions.

Yzalirk Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Looks good goatman! And there is so much orange minifig parts! Quote
-Horizon- Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Great build Goatman. Looks like a Rebel Hanger and the prototypes look cool too. Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 That's some great rebel machinery you got there Seems like has become a habit for the Imperials to stole our prototypes.. I'm wondering why... Quote
Jannik Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Great build, I love the stealth coloured ships and the multi levelled hanger. The variety of different rebel figures is also very interesting. Not sure about the folding ladders though, they look a but unsafe! Maybe if they had some sort of linkage on the side to control their angles? One question I do have is why do people always seem to park the B-wing upright like that? I thought the cockpit rotated so that it could land flat? Do they do this in any of the films? Quote

Because it's so easy why do people always seem to park the B-wing upright like that? I thought the cockpit rotated so that it could land flat? Do they do this in any of the films? The first LEGO B-Wing had this ridiculous upright dock and I wanted to make fun of it. I also didn't want to have to build a hangar long enough to accommodate a horizontal B-Wing. Quote
pinesssoms Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) good,Great build Goatman. Looks like a Rebel Hanger and the prototypes look cool too.thanks Edited August 14, 2014 by pinesssoms Quote
Only Sinner Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Wow, there is so much going on here. Two prototype vehicles and a sabotage plot? I like the minifigure placement and that crazy vertical position of the B-Wing fighter, but also the build of the dock itself. Quote
markus1984 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 And the next great freebuild from you! Really stunning what you make here! So good scenes and the B-Wing in black looks superb!! markus Quote
