Mini Republic Cruiser

This is a mini model of the Republic cruiser seen in many Clone Wars episodes. It is a very detailed mini as you can see in the photo.  A trick which I have learned over the years, is that if you want to capture the detail in anything, you have to use small pieces over the basic design of the model. Any suggestions for something you think I could build? Please put it in the comments.  I will try to build it and post it as soon as possible. Thank You!

Underwater Assault Craft

Underwater assault crafts were used by the Separatists during the Battle of Kamino. They can hold up to ten droids in the quick deployment rack. I believe the design of this vehicle is based on a squid. This was a neat thing to build and used a lot of brown pieces. Each of the leg segments are jointed so it's legs can bend any which way. I'm not sure that "underwater assault craft" is the actual name but it is used by Ventress in "Arc Troopers".

Clone Riot Trooper

Clone Riot Troopers were used on Courscant to control riots and often worked with the local police to help apprehend dangerous criminals. This was an easy trooper to build.  However, I did build several different riot shields before I finally decided on the one seen in the photo. The non-lethal stun baton is a dark-gray lightsaber blade with a technic piece on the end. I have built two of these interesting troopers.  If you have any ideas/advice/comments, please share them!
