Clone troopers vs Storm troopers

Today, I'm going to show you a battle scene me and my little brother did. We did it so that the clone troopers were against the storm troopers because we had a lot of the pair. We even used an Abaton to create the effect that a storm trooper was talking to Darth Sidious. It was set in the forest and the story behind it was that there was an elite group of clone troopers who did not follow order 66 and instead rebelled against the storm troopers. However, there were tons of storm troopers so they had to recruit some jedis and wookies to help them. 
Let's start on the clone trooper side of things. They are defending their territory so they are dug in for defence. On your right, you can see a cannon (built by my brother), manned by a clone trooper who is gunning down anyone who gets in the way. Also, you might be able to see Luke Skywalker with the legendary black lightsaber, standing next to his dead companion. 





Also, there are fences which you can see and valiant clone troopers defending their territory at all costs. There is a lot of cover for them to hide amongst and you might be able to see the clone trooper has has bits of leaf on his guns. In addition, there is a speeder which was a set I got for my birthday as a present. Finally, Mace Windu has a piece of dynamite in his hand and he is ready to use it on anything which comes his way. That's about it for the clone side of things. Now, to move onto the storm trooper section.

To start with, I'm going to say that the storm troopers have lost a lot of soldiers because the clones have too much power. That is why there are a lot of them dying on the floor. They have not been in this part of the forest before and have chosen the wrong place to attack; there is hardly any vegetation apart from a whacking great oak tree. The only surviving storm troopers are the ones who are not on the front line. Or, even if they are, they'll probably be dead soon...

 Here are the storm troopers on the front line. One is being strangled by a jedi and the others are ill equipped, having only pistols or swords. However, the clones have no idea they have let a poisonous snake loose which will kill anything it comes across. The clone troopers must kill it quick or else they will have no chance of survival. You can see it on the left, slithering through a fence.

 



On top of the oak tree, there is Darth Vader with a mighty grenade gun. With the height advantage, he poses a real threat if he cannot be stopped. Also, in the background, there is another speeder which has no idea Mace Windu looks to blow it up. 

So, who will win? The clones or the storm troopers? They seem equally matched so there is no telling who will win. Want to have a say on it though? If so, be sure to comment on it.

Lakeside lodge

It's just been my birthday so I've got a few extra Lego sets. The one I will show today is the Lakeside lodge. In my opinion, it's a great set which is easy to build and has got good value for money. With all the Creator sets, it has a lot of detail and the colour scheme also makes it such a cool set. There's even a moose which comes with it which looks amazing!
On the right, you can see the front view of the lakeside lodge which contains the minifigure with a fishing rod, the cabin behind him and a few other things.
 In the picture on your left, there is a closer inspection of the character and the fish he is cooking. In addition, there is a lamp, the moose and a shovel. If you look closely, you can even   see the texture of the walls.                    
 It opens up as well and inside you might be able to see a quill, a bed and a window to enjoy the nice view outside. Again ,the colour scheme is good with the green, brown and yellow bonding together. I haven't put a picture of this, but on the other side of it, there is a kitchen-almost with a stove and a cup of coffee.
 Finally, there is the back view of it with a tree, a chimney and some other parts of the house. As I conclude this post, I have to say that this is a super good set which I would definitely recommend to someone who wanted to start building Lego.

Lego stop motion animations

Today, I wish everyone a fantastic new year as I show you some of the Lego stop motion videos I have been making over the past few months. They are much more improved than the ones I've done in 2013 and they are only a few minutes long so I think it's worth watching them. All you need to do is click on the link below and it will take you there.

Here is the first one:
