This ship really bugs me
Or maybe it’s my own bad pun that bothers me. I do really like this ship, by -infomaniac-, though. It does a great job of capturing the shape of an insect in a space ship. The placement of the cockpit at the center is great concealment, it took me awhile to even spot it. I’m also a fan of the generally armored look, especially the use of minifig bases.
1:52 scale Slave I
Junsier returns to Flickr with his best version of the Slave I. The almost sculptural quality of this creation captures the difficult curves of the ship. Jabba won’t have to wait long for his prize.

On Dantooine, the Grand Army of the Republic faces off against the Separatists
It’s sometimes tempting to dismiss LEGO models that make use of hundreds of the same part as doing nothing more than showing off the builder’s budget or a visit to the Pick-a-Brick wall.
Regardless of the source for the levers and Technic pins, the waving alien plant life in this Star Wars diorama by Kevin Murney (legorevolution) combines with some great details for a wonderful overall effect.
Note the edges on the wreckage of the clone troopers’ downed Republic Gunship, as well as the swath through the grass created by the dark Jedi’s thrown lightsaber.
Thanks to Joris Blok for the tip!
