“Imperial Guards Star Fortress v.2” by HanSime
HanSime has submitted this unique, pentagonal shaped fortress to more than one BrickLink Designer series, refining the build each time.
Here be the latest version with calls for feedback:
“Imperial Star Fortress” by HanSime

So turns out with the new palette reducing many of the available bricks and generally having time to work out the issues I had with my BDP8 version, I’m working on a large revamp for BDP9.
Since I’ve also gotten myself a new laptop (the ten year old one was kinda in need of replacement), the rendering goes a bit faster, so I could do an early trial render.
Feedback requests:
“Merchant Ship” by Elephant Knight
Ever since Steve sailed into the Imperial Trading Posts, LEGO Pirates fans have been clamouring for more non-pirate, non-military vessels, yet they’ve never arrived in official capacity.
Elephant Knight’s submission, the aptly named Merchant Ship could turn those tides…

The last month or two I have been spending a lot of time working on building a ship that I plan to submit for the BDP 9. It’s not quite finished, I still have the interior of the cabin to complete. […] As well as completing the cabin. I will also have some more pictures of the virtual model up soon, but for now, let me know what you think, areas that need improving, and what sort of details would be needed!
What Do Yer Think?
Might you be preparing a design inspired by the golden age of piracy for consideration in Series 9?
