The new bank

The new bank was built out of Green Grocer's pieces almost entirely.
The roof of the bank has a missile launcher on top. The bank officials are very paranoid.
The front of the bank. The building on top has a angled window that I found very fun to build.
The vault door. For some reason the door is accessible through the lobby. If you turn the gear than the door opens. I was inspired to build it by the blast door in the Lego Death Star.

The reception area.
An overhead view. You can see into the vault.

Renders

I got a new computer porgram recently that allows me to model and render 3D shapes. The program is called Blender 3D.
On this post I will add photos of Lego renders.
- A minifig
- A MMS (Mars Mission) crystal

HoverCheap


The Hovercheap is the smallest space capable vehicle made. Its class 23 hyperdrive can get you to the nearest planet in just under a year!

I've had this model crashing around for a few years now. It's actually very easy to build a lot of, mostly because it uses a lot of easy to find pieces. its not really that hard to duplacate.

The Changing Town

I have changed the town a lot since I last posted.
- An overview of the town

I also have 4 more road plates, although these ones aren't very compatible with my other ones.
The town has changed a lot since i last posted; it now includes less buildings, but the buildings that remain are much larger.

- One view of the roads. The bin of yellow stuff is corn.
- The cafe with a food delivery service vehicle on top
- Green Grocer
- The biggest building in the town. Despite its civilian appearance, it is mafia headquarters.
- The interior of the cafe'.
- The large mortar turret. It actually turns and fires. Maybe I'll blog about it sometime...

- The farm
- The Back of Green Grocer
- Omni's Repair shop
- The Phoenix General Store



4-21 EDIT: 

The town has changed a LOT since then. the cafe is soon to be taken apart; Green Grocer has been turned into a bank (see an above post); The mortar turret is gone; the farm has been compacted into less than 32x32 studs; the repair shop has been converted into a factory; the general store is gone too. the mafia headquarters has been re-built into a motel.

New Troop transport: the XLN-273!

This new model I've built took me about 4 days to make, mostly because I wasn't satisfied by the way the cockpit and the engines looked. At first I had 2 engines on struts coming out of the back. But they just didn't look very well made, and kept falling off. Eventually I decided to change it to be more like the engines on the Jedi shuttle in the beginning of Star Wars: Episode 1.
As for changing the cockpit, it used to be built literally on the troop hold. I changed it by adding another platform to the front and placing the cockpit on that. The center of the ship houses the troop hold and weapons rack. Behind to cockpit is the communication array and all purpose sensor station.-the photo above has an exploded view. It is not missing its wall.The cockpit itself has more than enough controls for any function. It has a keypad, 2 view screens, its own power cell, a bunch of random dials, and 3 on/off switches (dunno why...).
the ship itself only has 2 weapons. Although if you need more, just place a few troops in the troop bay with portable missile launchers and you're all set! :)
