Hope the pics show up this time.

For starters, add some walls...Aerial attack!

I know but I don't have enough pieces so I have to make my way to a lego store.

Whew alright! This base is waaay too colorful. As you know in Star Wars things tend to be a little darker and grayer. You need to throw in some walls so we can an idea of the size of this room and probably bley with computer sensors etc would look good. I like the holocron table but think if mainly everything on there is going to be blue, why not change everything to blue? Finally if there's going to be fighting you should try to put in lasers flashing about. Does that help at all?

Yah I will try. Thanks for the advice.

Color goes buh-bye.
We need some bleedin' walls!
Why do we have droids in a Republic base?
Barracks?
Defenses?
Mess hall?
Greebles -- yes, we need detail.
Why is there a NSF officer there?


That ought'a do it.

The droids are on a holo projector.

Sigh.... crusher, let me ask you a question, how long did it take you to make this?

Most likely he put time into it, but it doesn't look like he made an "effort" to make it look nice.

Personally I don't believe in 'Bases' for Star Wars. Clone Armies were in short supply and were ALWAYS on the move. Think Capital Ship inside detailing/hangar/bridge for a base. The only bases Republic Troops had on the ground were Command Posts, which consisted of mostly boring prefab bunkers and armor and mech sitting around.
In the event that Republic Troops were engaged in a long haul firefight, they would reside in native buildings/cover, and that depends on what the planet they were fighting on was like.

And Clones almost were never on the defensive. They almost were always attacking the Sep planet, not the other way around. In the event that the seperatists were attacking a Republic Planet (which did happen) Clone Troopers were almost never there when they invaded.

It took a while but I agree with alpha I could have put more work into it.

Can we move this to the hosplital? Not to be a parrot but, there is a lot of things wrong with this MOC.

We can't, it's Guild Members only. Besides, think of all the Cons he'd get.

Firstly, I don't believe a "Base" should be in the hospital. Walkers and tanks, but not bases. Secondly, this lacks greebles, it's multicolored, ect. Thirdly, if you want to improve, I suggest making them a solid color. It can have red benches, red floors, red walls, ect, but just don't mix the colors. Also, it could have a bit more detail.

I noticed you've got a bit better but next time try to build up the walls in detail, avoiding your audiences to see the background

All the figs are odd, there are CW clones, Ep. III clones, I can even see a Naboo Pilot!
It has no defences, and the lack of a wall is odd. You just need a droid bomber and bye bye!

VERY disappointing. That thing won't last 5 seconds in a war.

It is not finished yet.

Uh... even when it is finished... it still won't last long.

Just to let everyone know I am not a 3-9 years old I am 13years old. Sorry you don't like my moc but I don't have a lot to work with.

I understand. They're being pretty harsh so just ignore them. Often times when we are limited on pieces (I am now too at this time) we think of some of the most creative ways to compensate or come up with entirely new ideas. Not much else to say besides try to listen to the POSITIVE feedback and give it your best.
