No trans-blue tiles at the moment either. We did have red 1×4 plates and 2×10 (or maybe 2×8) green plates, as well as a larger green round plate.

This seems like a nice supplement to all the other instruction sites out there, just without any IP MOCs.

This group is very big on the builder being present to talk about their work. The producers were very interested in the Kyle and Lia have similar builds/interests, know of each other, but have never actually met in-person thing.

I think I only used 15 or so different colors. Photobricks doesn’t exactly have the largest color pallette.

I finished building Papaglop’s Hoth Shield Generator MOC and threw it in the middle. I figured the AT-AT would be a good add. Coop decided to decorate it too.

I used two 30 or 50 lb hangers just to be safe. It’s probably around 20 lb with everything. I figure it’s not any heavier than a good-sized shadowbox full of stuff.
