Greetings,

Some of you may have seen the recent posts of my MTT and AAT models. Thanks
for the praise. If you liked those models I think you'll enjoy my Galactic
Challenge entery even though it didn't win. I called it an Imperial Atomic
Regeneration Plant (ARGP). My thought was that the Empire would use this
base to create a Nitrogen based atmosphere on lifeless planets and moons.
Thereby allowing the planet or moon to be colonized by humanoids and
exploitated for its resources.

The things I liked most about the ARGP was:
1. The size (and it's all Lego)
2. The Imperial Shuttle and the landing bay
3. The suspended TIE Intercepters

Let me know what you think.

Does anyone have a link to pictures of the models that won the Galactic
Challenge contest?

Brian

Brian, Wow! Umm... Wow! :-) I would really like to be able to see more detail, I’m just getting to the point where I can start building some MOCs and I can see that there is a lot for me to learn!

It looks great Brian, but I wish we could have gotten better pics. These were prints that we re-shot with my digital camera. Although the camera is great at shooting the original subjects, we really need a scanner for these older non-digital shots. (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.starwars)
