Q1 2024 Build Challenge – STAR WARS

I think I will likely judge this one, otherwise my entry would probably be a castle that’s a years worth of work hahaha!

As for rules I can’t really think of any. All Star Wars is fair game!

I’m super excited for this one! Still not sure what I’ll actually build though…

HA that would actually be a hilarious build! IDK if I’d feel right calling that Star Wars though.

I’ll probably go for some kind of small-ish diorama. Hopefully I can at least find a way to feature some droids to stay a little more on-brand for me 🙂

Maybe there will be a joint Hoth entry?

Builds can be brought to the in-person meeting, shared live on Discord during the meeting, or pictures shared on this thread.

Ok so I’m posting my build here since I can’t make it to the meeting. Whipped this together in the past 2 days because I forgot about this challenge (definitely didn’t stay up all night)! So yeah, this isn’t my typical kind of build, so it was fun to challenge myself with something a little out of my comfort-zone!

This is the imperial occupation of Ferrix from the last episode of Andor. More specifically, it’s the tower at the center of Andor’s hometown where the bell-like anvil is rung every morning. The placement of the minifigures reflects the moments leading up to the riot, with the anvil being rung to commence Maarva’s funeral. On the far left is Cassian Andor himself, laying low and scouting out the situation, an Imperial Officer and Death Trooper in his line of sight. Behind the Death Trooper is one of the troopers carrying riot shields, who show up in-mass later on to deal with the mob of Ferrix citizens. At the entrance of the building, Luthen Rael and Vel Sartha are discussing their plan to kill Andor. In front of them is my custom design for B2EMO, Andor’s droid. On the right side, Nurchi is watching a patrol of stormtroopers from behind a pillar and an imperial agent is on the roof scanning the area for Andor.

Below are pictures including a screenshot of the building for reference (if I’m able to post them correctly).

For those who weren’t able to attend the meeting, here are some pics of the submissions for the Q1 Build Challenge. Winner was @smallfrost for his Trade Federation Command Ship, second went to @watchwmarcella for her Ewok diorama, and third went to @randomdan for his Star Wars parody build and video. Dan said he would post the video once he clears up a few trademark issues.
