MontyPython Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) And now for something completly diffrent ... When new mission came, Monty was very happy - he was finnaly able to leave the frozen Anoat sector behind him. Meantime, many things happened, like, Empire connecting with bounty hunters. And his newest mission was related to this subject - bounty hunters. Monty and his mates had to find Boba Fett. Bothan spies told them his destination and hunt started. Bothawui, Gwlad Meadows. Nice sunny morning. (M=Monty; I=Ioan; B=Blodwyn; L=Fitzgeorge LaKoste) M: Isn't it nice, here, lads? I: Yes, fresh air, sun and silence ... ...WUIGAWUIGAWUIGAWUIGAWUIGAWUIGAWUIGAWUIGAWUIGA... B: Did you say silence, Ioan, old boy? I: What's this? L: No what. Who! It is me, Fitzgeorge LaCost, the famous slave trader! I have everything! Beautiful Twi'Leks! Strong Wookiees! Gifted Biths! What can I offer you today, my friends? I: Well, we're looking for Boba Fett ... You know, that guy in green suit with helmet ... L: I am so sorry my friends. I don't have any Mandalorians. But tomorrow comes fresh troop of Chevs ... B: I think we will manage without them ... L: Oh, pity, but when you will need a good slave, ask for me! M: Well, Fett definetly isn't here. Should we try another planet? B: Why not ..? I: But first, some slave-saving, mates! To be continued ... Well, here's Fitzgeorge's ship, both pieces together.

Manx Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Very nice! Clever idea, splitting the ship to stay between rules. Quote
MKJoshA Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Your base is simple, but it has texture that makes it look great. I think you should consider adding a layer of bricks under it to give it height as well. It would take your base just that much further down the road of eye-catching. Your story is good as well. I find the name initials a little hard to follow, but maybe that's just a sign of a short attention span I personally would like to see something more that shows this build is on Bothawui. It doesn't fit the description of any of the other planets in this contest, but it could look like a dozen other SW worlds otherwise. All that said though, your builds are improving and it's great to have you entering for the Rebels! Quote
MontyPython Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Thanks! I'll try to make better ground in next scene. I know the names are a bit diffrent this time, but I wanted to make this MOC a bit Wales-y ... Bothawui is covered with spycentres and farms, but there are probably some meadows between them ...

Jannik Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 Hi Monty, are you and I the only rebels that have even tried to find Boba Fett so far? Quote
MstrOfPppts Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 I must say that I really like the vessel thing. It's of an interesting shape and nicely detailed. Something new yet just enough SWish it fits the universe completly. The base is simple yet not undetailed. Since you're not using the whole area for the build I'd sugest adding a border to frame the base and also adding some height. I do have some complaint of your content though. Every one is allowed only one build on a planet and the restrictions are 16x16. the overhang of the front of the ship is completly acceptable, yet your second build and the complete ship are not?! Or let the host / judges decide on that but I think that building a town square on 4 16x16 plates and then combining them in one build is not the point of the restrictions in the rules. Quote
MontyPython Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 Thanks! I'm very happy, that you like my ship. I was also not sure about making this double. If I am breaking the rules, I can make this build in two floors, with one modul of ship in each. But, I hope hosts will allow me to keep it same. Quote
MstrOfPppts Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Two floors wouldn't make much sense, I think it's better to keep the first part as the entry for the eppisode and include the rest with the whole ship as a freebuild, maybe making it even larger ... Quote
markus1984 Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I think i have a problem! Here i can also see no photos Quote
Wat Tambor Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 I think i have a problem! Here i can also see no photos Same here! I would love to see this SoNE entry, maybe you could post the photos again? Quote
MontyPython Posted August 22, 2014 Author Posted August 22, 2014 It's nothing special, I'm also planning to rebuild it, but since, you're asking for it ... Pictures reloaded. Quote
BEAVeR Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Another nice ship, and quite... an interesting exploit. Maybe, to comply with the rules, you could make the ship in such a way that it is designed to stand upright, so that you still have all the details, a more impressive scale and a 'legal' entry. But for now, let us speak about the ship we already have. I really like it: beaten up, dirty and the shape reminds me a bit of a Sandcrawler. That might be one of the things that makes it feel so in-universe. Great! I also like how the ship is detailed at every side, both on the top, the side, and the back. So no complaints about the details. The overall design, however, could be changed a bit to better represent the function of the ship, so that it more tells a story. So it would be great to have some kind of access-hatch, and small viewports, and possibly a large panel that can flap open to show of the 'merchandise'. You could make it look more like a flying shop in several ways, and then you would have a really unique ship. So more of the details like the (prison?) bars at the top, details that make sense. Also, maybe the driver would want some more protection in his cockpit? The base is quite simple, but then again, I imagine you don't have too much plant pieces. That leaves the ground very bare. Some small rocks would bring some more variation. Or you could (again) have a makeshift path the troopers are following, because now they don't really have a particular reason to be out there. There isn't any building of significance, and there isn't a path either for when they're on the move. So think about easy ways to give more interest to the scene. It's a good start to think about elements that should be there, but don't leap to your imaginary eye immediately. So have some 'reality-practice', and it will make your MOCs more realistic and will give you more ideas about what to build. So again, great entry, with a nice ship and a good begin at a textured ground. Keep fleshing things out, even if it takes a lot of effort with your bricks. I'm excited to see what creative solutions you will come up with! Quote
MontyPython Posted September 10, 2014 Author Posted September 10, 2014 Thank you, BEAVeR! This ship would need a lot more work, I know. I was actually building a lot bigger one, 10 studs wide with enough place for slaves and also with cockpit with roof. But then I realised, that that would be impossible with limited space. So I build a smaller ship, more like a speeder. Then I tried to put both pieces of the ship on the ground at the same time, but then there was no place for minifigs. Your advices, as always, will give me a lot of help in the future. Quote
Aland1916 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Very nice ship, interesting design. Quote
