Rook Rhyders: Episode I, The Rook Runner

Our second annual event to provide the CABG Community with a unique opportunity to be involved in a large scale project in various ways. Named after an old Brat Pit movie. But also meant to convey the idea that hopefully every Fall I’ll be building a large ship. And also to tie into the story that this launches my next part of the story line in how this Rook character was involved in the fall of the Republic. So With out further a do I give you…

During the Clone Wars a war torn Jedi Master named Master Rook is deceived by the Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. After swearing allegiance to the Chancellor and the Senate, the Chancellor sends Master Rook on a series of tasks to ensure that those that are attempting to under mind the Senate and the Chancellor are stopped.

Master Rook gathers a group of fringed fighters including Jedi that have fallen out of the Order and the graces of the Jedi Council. Several squads of clones are assigned to Master Rook. Robed in black and arm to the teeth and unknownly taking orders from the Lord of the Sith, this secret group of misfits, assassins, and clones become known as the Rook Rkyders.

Their mission to ensure the security of the Republic at any cost.

Seriously massive! Can't wait to see what kind of surprises await inside.
The repeation of shape and colour though out the craft really ties it all together.
I get a real animalistic feel from the front with the slopes that face downward like fangs.

Edit: The whole aft area is excellent with all the smaller details.

The first thing that I saw was the red stripe down the side. It's just begging for teeth like the ARC gunship.

I'm out right now, but please post to flickr so we can get this biotch blogged!

Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.

Rook does it again! Nice work.

For the sake of a blog, the view on white is much better.

Oh yeah! I'll leave it at that for now, until there is more pics.

Amazing! Simply the best I have ever seen in a long while! It looks huge!
Can't wait for inside pictures!

Spectacular! And it fits all the smaller sized craft too!

Agreed. I wish I could fly up and photograph your large projects Rook. Your photography skills don't give them the justice they need!
Love Kevin

You've gotta be kidding me!
That is huge and yet, so much detail!

Seriously Rook, this thing is massive. Probably larger than me.

Besides that the ship is awesome!
How well can it 'swoosh'?

Sorry it took so long for me to post, I had to have my jaw reattached after it fell to the floor. This is amazing Rook, I don't think anything I could say would do this Moc any justice, brilliant job.

That front little hinge/door looking bit lloks like it's about to bite my head off. The first posts never have to say what everyone else said, but us last posts do. Hopefully Santa left a few late presents on the inside of this ship.

I have to say that the ship has to hold more than 100 clones, as well as 30 AT-RT walkers too from the size, length and width of it.

I didn't see many WIP pics of this ship, but I still can't believe it is this huge!

The first second I saw the ship, my jaw unhinged, spewing blood and gore everywhere.

After I cleaned that mess up, I tried a second time with duct tape attached to my face. It worked, until I saw then the scale in the third picture with your (Yet again! ) senate guard. My brains then nearly exploded, and I had a seizure and died.

If you don't get what i'm saying let me sum it up:

EPIC WIN.

That is all.

Umm... Sure... Anyways, this is quite an amazing feat of lego-ness. You are the God of Lego, and I pray you will grant me moc-ing abilities I never thought existed in me. In other terms, you won the game.
