Brick Wars 49

And today marks the penultimate comic in Chapter 2 of the Brick Wars Saga. Next week's strip will be the end of this Naboo segment. (Finally).

Also, Lego makes really nice walkie-talkie pieces, but they're really big in comparison to the minifigures. Look at that aerial! It's pretty much the size of Qui-Gon himself!

And BD-1023 is in space! The story is just motoring along now, isn't it? This strip was actually super easy to photograph, as I only had to take pictures of  BD-1023 and the Vulture Droid. The main work came in editing the pictures.

I'm satisfied at the way the pictures turned out, and also the shift in tone that occurs when the droids leave the atmosphere.

Anyways, I'll see you next week, as the story continues!

Brick Wars #41

We have a new character! The Vulture Droid is one of the Trade Federation's many starfighters equipped with droid brains to crush their enemies.

Though this one here looks like a nice guy.

Lego has released a few different versions of the Vulture Droid over the years, but this is the original version, released back when the Phantom Menace came out. I had to track down the instruction manual and build him from scratch, as its been a while since I last assembled him.

And it's been a while since we last heard from BD-1023, hasn't it? Only time will tell if he succeeds in his mission...
