AT-RT

  I actually built this about two years ago and I've only gotten around to posting it now. There was always something bigger that I wanted to post about so it just kept getting pushed back.
I know that that is a stormtrooper but it's the only one Star Wars trooper I have with a helmet.



And a final shot on how it's put together.

The Weary Prospecter.

  This ship was made because I wanted to build a mining ship for the old school rock raiders. Ever since I saw them I thought they were the coolest thing. So here's The Weary Prospector. I'd call it a half SHIP since it's about 50 studs with the engine cone thingy. It's also my first decent large spaceship. I tried to build one a while ago and it was a travesty, I didn't even take pictures.
So here it is. My sisters say it looks like a fish and not a spaceship. Whatever.

If there's one thing I've learned it's that it is a pain to photograph something this big.

This is really my first real attempt at greebles. Don't ask me what they do.

The entrance.You can see the ladder that leads to the upper part of the ship.

The navigational equipment and a red light because every ship needs to know when they are about to explode. Not too technical since there's not much room.                                                                       

And the fully stocked galley.

The sleeping arrangements are cramped at best. 

My attempt at getting a pic of the engine. The only other way would have been to take a sledgehammer to the entire rear end of the ship.                                                                 

With the pilot's seat removed.

And here is the pilot. Finally found a use for that ugly windshield.

The not so pretty underside.

The shipping container can be easily removed.



And there you go. The only two rock raiders I have so far are Bandit and Doc. Oh, well. Anyhow, A few days after I had finished the first version my sibling dropped it on the stairs and it smashed into hundreds of pieces. None of which were too large either. But I was able to get it back together after about 45 minutes of sweating. Overall I'd say I've spent about 4 or 5 hours on this.

The Rebels.

  The Rebels are one of the best governments in the galaxy. The Guardians are power hungry and racist, the Coalition are puppets being worked by the Guardians and the Confederation are all stuck up. The Rebels however have a republican government and have no dictator or anything. They will also welcome anyone in though very few fleshies are among them. They control about half of the colonies but these colonies are mainly the poorest ones.
This guy is the main representative for the Rebels. He's sort of like their ambassador.

Here's a commander. They still carry an old six-shooter.

These are the DMR men. They're all crack shots.

These guys use the SAWs. All squads have at least one but most have two since the men like the extra firepower.                                                                                                                                 

Here's a typical mechanic.

And here's a pilot/driver. I love that torso!

This is the only vehicle I've made so far. I got tried of waiting for my brother to build a vehicle for them so I just decided to do it myself I was trying to capture an old school Lego helicopter look.

Bounty hunters.

  The reason I'm doing this right now instead of the other government is because I'm trying to give my brother some extra time to build something for them. Hey, he said he wanted to build their vehicles. Anyway here are are the most feared bounty hunters in the galaxy. They're sort of an organization led by this guy.
General W. as everyone calls him was a general for the Coalition until they kicked him out for remarks against the Guardians. He then set up a bounty hunter organization made up of the best of the best in the galaxy. His only holdover from the Coalition is that hand, part of an experimental exo-suit.

And here he is with his two  right hand men. Wait, TWO right hand men?

This guy's the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy. He killed a space police officer at the start of his career and has used the armor ever since. He has 293 kills to his name.                                         

A random dude in a radar dish hat.

These four guys are a crack squad led by...


Otis. A top bounty hunter with a cybernetic hand. No idea why he doesn't get an eye.

And three more guys.

This robot is X-9 the leader of the robot contingent of the bounty hunters.

That is the (rule of cool here) lightsword here carries into battle.

And these are two of the robot bounty hunters. I had a couple of others but they disappeared.

Rebel assault on the Capitol.

  This is a diorama I threw together yesterday just to showcase some hunger games minifigs I had. It's definitely not one of my better builds but it serves it's purpose.
There you go. I was originally going to pave the street in candy colored paving stones like in the book but it didn't happen. I tried to make the houses all candy colored as well but since houses are not my forte I didn't exactly succeed.                                                                                                      

The rebel troopers have decided to make a tactical retreat because of the ever spreading pool of blood red acid.                                                                                                                                                   

And the unfortunate rebel who tripped the pod and who's body is quickly disintegrating in the flow. 

Even though they are outnumbered two to one the peacekeepers are pushing the rebels back.

And my peacekeepers. That guy in the center doesn't have a visor because for some reason I could only find two black ones. So he voted to be the one to play dead.                                                    

And my rebels. I quite like these guys.

And the build without any figs. I'm really proud of all that bubbling acid.

Here's another picture of all that acid.

And hunger games minifigs. From left to right, Katniss in her mockingjay suit, Paylor leader of the rebels in District 8, Haymitch, and Gale in District 13 uniform.

The Guardians of Earth and Her Colonies.

  So here we have just about the most racist government you could ask for. The Guardians. My brother pointed out that I could call them The Guardians of the Galaxy. Whatever. Anyhow, here you go.
Here's the leader of the Guardians along with two female officials and the Ambassador.

Since this is likely the only squad of troops I'll be able to put together I've decided to name them all, from left to right, Galileo, Zak, Smiley, Brutus, Dent and Jerry.

And these are the security guards. Does anyone else find the clone faces a little disturbing?

And this is the only new Guardian vehicle. The rest I've done posts of. This is just my mortar hovertank with new anti-personnel cannons and some small redesigns elsewhere.
