Great. The big training unit looks just like...a complete cool room.
Is that Facility anywhere to see in the movies or books ?
You can see my MoCs on [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/legoorci/]my Flickr Account[/url] and you can see them also on [url=http://legoorci.wordpress.com/]my Blog[/url] where you also can read the stories behind the MoCs...but in german.

I know you've entitled it with "Clones," but I can't help but be reminded of the novel ENDER'S GAME. The 3-D lattice grid reflecting back on itself almost gives the impression of zero-gravity. Nice piece.

Unless I'm mistaken, it's from the 1st episode of the 3rd season of the Clone Wars cartoon series on Cartoon Network.

Same here, first thing I thought of when I saw this.

Remember that the enemies gate is always down! Although I remember the battlerooms as being cubes with the gates on opposing faces.

This could also work as a ST:TNG Holodeck if the white were swapped for yellow......

I am unfamiliar with the details of the Clone Wars material, but this looks like well executed room(scene?). I like the technique for the dropped floor section, I like the way the corners are done.
Build? I merely Acquire atm.

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with the novel.

You're right!

I should probably look that up.

Somebody else mentioned in another forum about the X-Men, so I guess it reminds people of different scenes.

Absolutely incredible. That was the best Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode along with the one that followed for the show to date. Exceptional job. It's spot on.

I strongly suggest you do look up & read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow.

But I recognized this for what you intended. Probably because I had just seen the episode in question. You did a good job getting all the details.
