LegoFjotten Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) We had gotten word from one of our contacts on Bothawui that a couple of bounty hunters had shown up in one of their older cities. A meeting had been arranged on a quiet side street under the cover of dark. Not knowing what to expect I had two of my top guys take up position on a roof, ready for whatever or whoever was coming... As the bounty hunters approached it was clear that none of them were Boba Fett. LegoFjotten: I'm looking for Boba Fett, do you know where he is? Dengar: Who are you, are you a friend of his? I knew the wrong answer to this question could quickly lead to a shootout, but I had no choice, I just had to gamble. Most bounty hunters were highly competitive and had no love for their competition... and Boba Fett was some serious competition. LegoFjotten: Let's just say I want to give him a message... the last one he will ever get. IG-88: (stares coldly) Dengar: In that case, yeah, I know where you can find him... He is headed for Tatooine. Note: Since I don't know much about Bothawui and there aren't many pictures around I had to improvise. For this build I stole some colors from the two (very different) pictures on the Wookiepedia page and just built something. Edited September 24, 2014 by LegoFjotten Quote
Dapper-D2 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 A lovely looking building you got there. The story is good too. I especially like the color choices, the lion heads, and the door.(I think I've seen the door somewhere before, but I can see why you've borrowed the design) Quote
LegoFjotten Posted August 31, 2014 Author Posted August 31, 2014 Thanks! The door is indeed borrowed, last seen on EB's frontpage a week or two ago, but I think I've seen it before as well. Quote
Lobot Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Great work for the Rebellion, and it’s always good to see IG-88 & Dengar! Quote
Wat Tambor Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 It's a nice entry for the Rebellion! Though it looks a bit too oriental / mediterranean and not so much SciFi like. But as you have said there are not many pictures of the architecture of Bothawui in the Internet and that's also why I struggle with my planned 3rd entry. Quote
LegoFjotten Posted September 1, 2014 Author Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for the blog! Wat-Tambor: I agree it doesn't look very sci-fi, it would probably fit in GoH with very minor adjustments. I will hide behind the scarce source material, and the fact that Naboo doesn't look very sci-fi either... Quote
Yzalirk Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Very nice build, it looks awesome. I agree that it doesn't look very Science-Fictiony but it's awesome for it being improvised. Quote
MKJoshA Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 I think this is a fantastic representation of Bothawui! Not all of the Star Wars universe has to look sci-fi. This is a good exception. Quote
TenorPenny Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 From what I've read of this planet, your depiction is pretty nailed on. Nice work..! Quote
Manx Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Very nice building, I tried to do something like this at first, but ran out of tan ... Quote
Donnie Bricko Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 The colors and architecture are a perfect representation of Bothawui...great work Quote
