When Lego came out with their Nexo Knights battle suits, I knew I had to try my own reimagined hard suit idea involving Star Wars (and super heroes next). This was fun and a nice way to get back to my early moccing roots.
Continuing with my series of Lego Star Wars photography, it was lighted with one light from below. The smoke, the little lights in the armor and, of course, the lightsaber are made with photoshop.
As CNN’s Michael D'Antonio recently stated, “…President Donald Trump now seems wounded and desperate—and this makes him dangerous.”
"Now wounded, Trump is resorting to a kind of political terror campaign, spreading blatant lies about foreign-based election fraud and a "RIGGED 2020 ELECTION." Trump's false claims, which have been repeatedly debunked by CNN and others, destroy public trust in the foundation of our democracy and set the stage for a potentially dangerous crisis if voters end up questioning the results on Election Day."
Things have not being going well for Donald. He has abdicated his duty to help Americans during the pandemic; and it shows the dismal state of Trump's leadership abilities. We are not only disappointed. We are sick and dying. He takes no responsibility for that. The economy is not bouncing back, despite the rebound of the stock market. When millions have lost their jobs and few are finding new ones, the market means nothing to even the lucky ones who are living paycheck-to-paycheck. The longer this pandemic goes on, the more businesses will fail. And this was to be Trump's principal re-election selling point.
Revelations of the inner workings of Trump's White House by former National Security Adviser John Bolton and of his dysfunctional family by his niece, Mary Trump, in her book, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man," have peeled away much of the protective edifice Trump has worked so hard to maintain.
Politico's John F. Harris has to ask, "What do we not yet know about Donald Trump?" How have his business dealings affected critical geopolitical decisions during his presidency? Trump refuses to divulge his tax returns, which would shed light on this part of his world. What's really behind the President's relationship with Vladimir Putin? We know a little about how his inner circle thinks of him. Former chief of staff John Kelly and former national security adviser H. R. McMaster have called him an "idiot." And former Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, has called him a "moron."" It's easy to hear Trump's angry ramblings as was clear during in his July 14 Rose Garden press conference (i.e. campaign rally). This leads to speculation about both his physical and mental health. But there are so many others who, over the years, have worked with and for him. These things will eventually come out, despite anyone's best efforts to conceal them. More than likely, not before the November election. But we have enough to go on.
While there is much more to know about the Trump presidency, we are watching him back into a corner right now. I once described my father as having his hand on the doorknob to his own emotions. As long as his hand was there, he felt in control and could slam the door closed at any moment, should I get too close and ask too many questions. Darth Vader wrapped himself in a similar shield. He felt invincible until his helmet came off and we saw the real man underneath. As Trump grapples with his own realities, he's becoming fearful his empire is disintegrating. His disheveled look and disappointment as he walked from his helicopter back to the White House after his diminutive Tulsa rally was telling.
To draw attention away from his social and political failings, the President has authorized federal agents to quell the protests of, as Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf stated, "violent anarchists." In Portland, Oregon, a city besieged by over 50 days of protests over the killing of George Floyd, both peaceful and violent, federal law enforcement from the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), began rounding up protesters into unmarked vans. Dressed in camouflage fatigues with "unspecified 'police' patches" protesters were taken to unspecified areas to be interrogated. Both the governor of Oregon, Kate Brown, and the Mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler, asked the federal government to leave the city, as their presence only escalated tensions. Wheeler referred to these police as "Trump's private army." And Talking Points Memo founder Josh Marshall reports the Department of Homeland Security's Deputy Secretary, Ken Cuccinelli told NPR not only are they not stopping with their actions in Portland, but have plans to take them nationwide.
Shockingly, this is not illegal. The New York Times reported Washington officials cited 40 U.S. Code 1315, which, under the Homeland Security Act of 2002, gives the department’s secretary the power to deputize other federal agents to assist the Federal Protective Service in protecting federal property, such as the courthouse in Portland. But these abductions took place off federal property. This is exactly what one would expect of an authoritarian leader with lagging support would do to both create a diversion from his failures and to bolster his claim as the "law and order president."
Donald Trump works on instinct, his gut. The closer we get to revealing the secrets he has tried to hide, the more desperate he will get. And the more desperate he gets, the more dangerous he will become. Portland is a prime example. Our only antidote is to prepare for the worst. He will not make voting easy for us and he will try hard to discredit the process, from mail-in voting to questioning the outcome. There's more at stake than just the Oval Office. Lawsuits await a former president, no longer shielded by his sycophants and Executive Privilege. And as we all know, rats don't hesitate to abandon a sinking ship.
For the last 19 years, since the attacks on 9/11, we have been engaged in a “war on terror.” This has taken us to the Middle East for numerous wars in an effort to keep America safe. That rationale has consistently been used to restrict the rights of American citizens (i.e. domestic surveillance of Americans from the Patriot Act). While, at the same time, Congress has refused to pass laws allowing law enforcement to effectively monitor domestic terrorist groups, who pose a more dire problem. In fact, Immigration and Nationality Act expressly prohibits the Department of State from “sanctioning groups with a significant domestic presence.” Our rights are eroding under the guise of global terrorism. What's happening in Portland, and soon the rest of the country, is a glaring example.
To end this path to authoritarianism, our most powerful tool is our vote, electing politicians who will alter our international and domestic policies to focus on a more just America. So make sure you're properly registered. Know your local requirements and on election day, vote as if your life depends on it. Because it does.

Here's my first Darth Vader Gundam since 2013's TIE Advanced Sazabi, my Sith Interceptor Gundam. I combined an IBO frame with the Gundam Astray Noir and Vader's Sith Interceptor.

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Agriworld-2079
After the liberty in the clones wars, 22 BBY on Agriworld-2079, the newly formed empire was sent to crushing a rebellion on the planet. A legion of clone troopers leading by Darth Vader takes the control over the planet.
The group will create and released on Friday, the website is coming soon!
I had planned this shot a long time ago, and just excecuted it today.
I got my Darthvader helmet used so kinda boo cause it already had scratches and stuff. But my Stormtrooper helmet I got brandnew, and I always keep it inside the box, it's a 1:1 exact replica from the Starwars movie.
Shot Darth and Storm in different lighting(SEE BELOW), then stitched them together in photoshop.
