The Hoth Striker
Well, there was one more photo to post this year, a photo of the Lego TIE Striker I took for a Stuck in Plastic piece. I posted an alternative version of this a few days ago but this is the real mccoy.
I struggled to decide whether Vader should have his lightsaber blazing in this or not. Having both, the cockpit and the lightsaber at the same time did not work, I tried all the different variations. For the Stuck in Plastic piece I chose the version with the red cockpit, it was about the Striker after all.
The decision wasn't merely because of the subject first however, it was also because this simply was the better exposure; the blizzard behaved perfectly on this. So, this one has better overall ambiance but the other one had the lightsaber, I couldn't let that go. I posted them both, because, why not? :)
The story in this is about Vader being stressed out and the wing layout of the Striker being good when retreating for meditation on desolate locations – such as Hoth, as in this case.
