About this creation

Due to a tie in Round 2, three teams were selected to participate in a tie-breaker. The official title is 'Private Round', but I personally don't like the name, so I'm calling it 'Round 2.5', to keep with the numerical system.

I decided to build in SNOT. The original plan was to build multi-tiered, of an industrial scene, but since I've been really busy lately, I didn't have time for anything big. (Those of you confused about the dimensions, see the section 'A Note to the Judges, below) For the vig, I decided to build Kashyyyk. Lots of MOCers build Kashyyyk, but it takes more than a Chewbacca and a Battle Droid on a green baseplate to make Kashyyyk. Because the rules call for an 8x8 base, I chose to build from Battlefront II instead of Revenge of the Sith, because Battlefront has a greater variety of foot soldiers, and less large vehicles. If you've played the game, you'll probably recognize this as the all-important Command Post #2, on the beach front.

By the way, sorry about the pics. My tripod was in use elsewhere, and I've already dismantled the vig. *groan*

I'm ranting again, aren't I? Here's the MOC:
Combatants:
The vignette features 4 combatants: A Wookie warrior, 91st Recon Corps Clone Trooper (mounted on a BARC), B1 Battle Droid (mounted on a STAP), and Jedi Grand Master Yoda. I am aware that Yoda did not directly participate in the Battle of Kashyyyk, however, as stated above, this is a depiction of the scene from Battlefront II, in which Yoda is the playable hero for the Republic forces on Kashyyyk. (Jango Fett is the hero for the Separatists, but, unfortuanately, I don't own his minifig)

A Note to the Judges: This vignette was built using SNOT. Using the well-known ratio of 5 plates=2studs, we can see that the vignette is 20 plates long, therefore, 20 divided by 5 times 2 equals 8 studs long

Quoting Tbone tbl Wow props on cramming that many minifigs into so small a space. Snot was a good choice and I like the inclusion of the wall, with the action of Yoda jumping it. Nicely done.

Thanks. The 'cramming' part was probably the hardest....

Quoting MOODSWIM 8D Simple it is, but nicely done! SNOT rocks!

It's a actually a lot more complicated than it looks. Since I only had 8x8 space, I had to cram in 2 plates of tan, 2 of green, a few of gray, a bunch of blue, and still build in attachment points for the vehicles/'figs. It doesn't help that the BARC's lowest point is studs-down. If it wasn't for the fact that I was a big City fan originally, I wouldn't even have had all the colors necessary.
