The Republic attack dropships swoop into battle to deploy troopers. These
compact fighters are armed with cannons and chin guns to drill deep into battle
zones. The pilot briefly lands with the ship’s cockpit rotated into deploy
position to drop up to two troopers onto the field before flying back into the
air and providing close ground support.

Been a long time since I posted here. Also realize that this is more or less a
ghost town anymore but I don’t feel like joining any other online lego community
right now.
If anyone is looking, here’s my take on the Re-imagined Battlestar Galactica
Viper MkII. Built in LDD. Have parts on order from bricklink and hope to post
photos of the “real thing” sometime soon.
An exercise in SNOT building techniques. Has fully retractable landing gear.
Cockpit has basic controls but is very cramped...
Enjoy,

Several decades after the destruction of the second Death Star and the
annihilation of the Imperial regime, Luke has finally found the location of an
old Jedi temple which has been rebuilt to further the learnings on the ways of
the force and the life of a Jedi. As he himself was once an apprentice to Jedi
master Yoda in the lush swamp planet of Dagobah, he has made sure that Yoda’s
legacy lives on by paying tribute to his beginnings in the inner sanctum of the
temple.

Hello
My wife has an obsession other than LEGO...
She collects Betty Boop.
I naturally decided to offer her a Xmas gift related to Betty Boop...
I built her one in LEGO.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=521081
She measures 20.3 cm or 8 inches. Features the same amount of spikes on the head
as the “real” one. I like the earrings and her high heals .
Enjoy, Jean-Marc

In the midst of the Mirkwood forest runs an enchanted stream closely guarded by
elves that protect and repel any unwarranted visitors. These elven guards patrol
not only the forest floor, but also the canopy with their uncanny ability to
leap from tree top to tree top.
Entry to the CCCX contest for the Forest Life category.

Utapau remained neutral, but allegiance was forced upon the current Master of
Port Administration, Tion Medon, when General Grievous and the Separatist
Council took the world as their own, at the command of Darth Sidious.

The Waco, Beaumont, Trinity, & Sabine Railway Company Prairie (2-6-2) type steam
locomotive #1.
Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Company in 1920, this oil burning steam
locomotive served the Waco, Beaumont, Trinity, & Sabine Railway Company until
it’s closure. At it’s peak, the WBT&S had 6 locomotives and 56 cars, but don’t
let the name fool you.
The Waco, Beaumont, Trinity & Sabine Railway Company never made it to Waco.
Or Beaumont.
Or Sabine.
It seems the little railway company that could had big dreams that simply never
manifested. Weaving through 115 miles of ballast-free and weed infested tracks
through the Piney Woods of East Texas, the railway served the city of Trinity
and the surrounding areas.
In 1930 the WBT&S was forced into receivership and stayed there till it was
completely abandoned in 1961, the longest bankruptcy of a railroad in Texas
history.
In its waning years, the railroad began using regular automobiles on rail
wheels, pulling rickety and home built passenger wagons to try to boost service.
It is little wonder the railway quickly earned the nickname “Wobbly Bobbly
Turnover & Stop”.
But little #1 trudged on.
In 1959, after years of faithful service, little locomotive #1, the last
locomotive of the WBT&S fleet, failed its ICC inspection and the railway ceased
all operations the same day. In 1961 the last remnants of the WBT&S was torn up
and lost.
The #1 rusted away in the Trinity yard until 1981, when she was moved to the
Galveston Railroad Museum, cleaned up, and put on display. She remains there to
this day, proudly welcoming guests into the museum.
This model is completely unpowered, and is one of the smallest steam engines
I’ve ever built. Still, she was a very challenging build - it was very
difficult to not only pack all the detail into a very small space, but it also
had to hold together enough to run on the rails! I look forward to introducing
the real thing to her LEGO doppelganger.

Southern Pacific’s GS-4 4-8-4 (Northern) Daylight #4449.
This marks the 20th LEGO locomotive I have built.
This model is fully track compatible with a fully functioning 4 wheeled
leading/pony truck. However, in order to do so I was forced to build her so
that she swings out in curves more than any other locomotive in my collection.
She currently sports 9v motors, but will eventually be rebuilt as completely
Power Functions.

The exploration and conquest of the New World often brought conflict between the
various European countries and their armies that often started with skirmishes
and ended with full scale battles.
