There were no LEGO Club Meetings from November 2010-January 2011, most likely because LEGO Store needing to deal with the insane holiday season. The few times I went in there before X-Mas the store was absolutely packed. We missed registering for the February 2011 meeting, which I believe was World Racers themed, but we made sure not miss out on the March 2011 meeting which was all Star Wars.
I'm not sure why, but like the last Star Wars one, this was centered around building Bounty Hunter ships. Jesse wasted no time cranking out this ship out. A lot of his builds are usually based around a single color, especially gray for his Star Wars ships. This time he challenged himself, and used a mix of red, grey, and black bricks, complimented with a few dark green prefabbed pieces and decals, to come up with this cool looking ship.

Jesse thought Cad Bane's speeder was kind of weak, so he built this souped-up planet side fighter for CB to use while doing his dastardly deeds.

The Vengeance Battle Cruiser was Jesse’s entry into a LEGO contest at one of the city libraries. There were lots of great contest entries, so he was pretty stoked to win 3rd place in his age category (9-12yo), and his prize was the LEGO Race Turbo Tow truck.
The Vengeance is armed to the teeth and is a support ship for the larger Venator Class Star Destroyer. He put a lot of time into making all the different weapons, many of which can rotate and move up and down. Jesse also detailed the inner working of the battle cruisers with control stations, weapon racks, etc.

Here are two microscale spacefighters that Jesse built, inspired by the jaw-droppingly awesome ships that Fredoichi keeps cranking out.
The Warbird is a hulk of a ship, designed to withstand a lot of damage while dishing it out in return. It doesn't mind tangling with with larger battle cruisers.
The Blizzard Fighter on the other hand is a fast, nimble starfighter that is ready to take on any enemy fighters. It's motto: "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee". If you're too slow, then the fight is already over.

Jesse built this huge Separatist Warship during the cold days of last winter. The finished version was almost as long as he was at the time. It met it's end during a planetary invasion thanks to a well placed shot from a bazooka fired by a Republic Clone Trooper.

The Calgary Public Library held a LEGO contest earlier this month. Jesse entered this Star Wars Republic troop transport into the vehicle category for his age group and won first place. Congrats Jesse.
There were lots of other cool entries. If I can find them on the library's site I will post the link.

Jesse built this 3 piece set that includes a starfighter, 4 legged battle robot, and a transport vehicle to shuttle them around. I love the 4 legged battle robot, it's simple but unique and looks hella cool.
