"They said fire rained from the sky, like teardrops of molten magma. Thousands of my brothers and sisters cut down by the wrath of the Empire. I remember little from that night, I was merely a boy. Saved by the sacrifice of my father, who's Buy'ce - helmet, still protects me. That night I lost my family and my home. That night I took my first life. That night I vowed my revenge. The Night of a Thousand Tears."

Trav Kresto: "I knew I should've gotten you out of here sooner."
Fest Kresto: "What are we gonna do dad?"
Trav Kresto: "We're Mandalorians, son. We fight. Here, take this blaster."
Though my father had trained me from as early as possible to use his Westar, I wasn't prepared to use it so soon.
Trav Kresto: "Come on, son. We've a ship waiting for us at the lower port. We'll have to move through the lower city, the Moff's forces occupy the main levels.
We moved quickly, but carefully through the lower levels of great Mandalore. We had nearly made it when the patrol of Stormtroopers found us. My father activated his energy shield, protecting me as we moved. The Stormtroopers were no match for him, but he didn't see the one which had flanked us. I moved quickly, instinctively. I pulled the trigger before my thought could catch up.

Hey all! Excited about joining in on this game. It's been awhile since I've built Lego, especially moc-building. My old collection has passed on to my brothers and I'm in the process of rebuilding.
That said, my parts selection is very limited so it was quite the challenge representing Mandalore with what I had. I hope I did it justice.
I wanted to depict a scene from my character's past. Fest survived the Night of a Thousand Tears, when Mandalore and her people were infamously destroyed by Moff Gideon. His father sacrificed himself (not depicted) to save Fest before Fest escaped off-world. Now a seasoned mercenary, Fest wears his fathers old Beskar helmet, though the rest of his armor is his own.
Great first build and entrance to the game! The Mando’ade are lucky to have you. The story sets the scene really well and looking forward to Fest getting justice or revenge.
Nice to see the angled walls off grid, and I like the curved stripe. Keep it up.
