Customized 7106 Droid Escape
I wasn't really satisfied with the escape pod shown on the box, so I added some more pieces to it and rebuilt it the way I wanted it to look.  My model is largely based on the escape pod diagram shown in Star Wars: Incredible Cross-Sections. I gave the pod four engines, which belong on the top, and I added a train window.  Since my biggest complaint with the original model was that the large curved pieces made it look and feel unlike a LEGO model,  I replaced two of them with a wall I made out of bricks.  Here the escape pod is pictured landing in front of my keyboard.
A typical mini'figs-deconstructing-model shot, like the ones always pictured on the backs of the boxes.  This picture shows the control panel I added.
