-JD- Posted October 8, 2011 Hey everyone. I've been very busy lately, so I haven't had much time at all for Eurobricks. Now that I have some spare time, I'm going to share some more MOCs with you all. This has been built for... ohh... two years now? I kept taking parts off to use elsewhere, but I finally decided to get it finished and out of the way! And here it is, Grievous' Lair, in the playset style of Cloud City and this year's Echo Base. I tried to incorporate as many things as I could from the CW episode where this location debuted. Unfortunately, I couldn't make Gor, General Grievous' pet, as I didn't have the parts. Anyway, on we go... Fil and a trooper fight one of the Magnaguards... Vebb battles next to a statue of Grievous... The landing area door can open... Who dares enter the Lair? Watch out for the Molten Pit!!! Operated by removing the support... Fisto engages Grievous... His Doctor watches, shouting encouragement! (custom made head decal) Grievous' repair room/control room... The armory... Can he escape in time? Operating station for the hologram... Is it a trick? Thanks for looking. C&C welcome!

K-Nut Posted October 8, 2011 Beautiful! I especially like the Starfighter. I have to make my own for Kit some day. Great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
commdr_neyo Posted October 8, 2011 Wow, I really love this! It reminded me of CC when I saw it, funny to see you had the same idea All the little sections are very well made, especialy the door, the pit and the control room. I also like the statue idea, but that might've been better in a seperate room with a door, between the entrance and the hallway. Overall you did an amazing job!

Mr Man Posted October 8, 2011 Very nice work here Jammiedodger :thumbup:, I love the use of the old GG and the white lightsabre blades as a statue . All the little rooms are great also, this would make a great set, but you may need to cut out GG and his droid so people will buy the GG starfighter set to add it to this one .

LuxorV Posted October 8, 2011 This is one of my favourite episodes from CW, and you effectively captured many moments of it Hope you won't give up the idea to make Grievous' pet, once you'll have the right parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stardusty Posted October 8, 2011 That's one of my favorite SW:TCW episodes and all the scenes look just right. With some minor adjustments, this would be a great set! Excellent job Jammiedodger! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted October 8, 2011 I it 'Jammiedodger', a fantastic idea....I wonder what other CW scenes could be done Cloud City style.....would make a great contest eh ? At least Nardar wasn't dead.....yet....never trust a four arm guy to fight clean. May the Eurobrick be with you 'Jammiedodger' ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M<0><0<DSWIM Posted October 8, 2011 This is an awesome looking set! I love that you gave it a "real playset" look to it, incorporating all the sections/scenes from the episode. My only suggestion would be to build a custom JSF rather than using an official one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oky Posted October 8, 2011 Well, it's about time you posted this! I looks like you improved it since I last saw it, and it looks much cleaner now with all the tiling and stuff. All the play features are nice and overall it looks indeed like a Cloud City style playset. Nice work. My only suggestion would be to build a custom JSF rather than using an official one. It is a custom one. It's just based on the design of the official JSFs. I shall attempt to recreate Grievous' Lair myself one day... some day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Builder Posted October 9, 2011 This is awesome Jammie! This is a great idea and I think LEGO should consider more sets like this. And I'm like you, I tend to have my MOCs sit around before I post them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceroknight Posted October 9, 2011 Very cool! Why can't LEGO make these types of sets more often? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Concept Posted October 9, 2011 Nice attention to detail, well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 9, 2011 Simply wonderful! There's nothing I like better than a well-made SW MOC, and this is better than well-made! I love this huge masterpiece! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wokajablocka Posted October 10, 2011 Awsome job of creating Grevous's lair with Lego system style play featurtes. I love tha hole feel of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-JD- Posted October 10, 2011 Thanks so much everyone. My first blog too!!! Yes, that is a custom JSF. I modified Ahsoka's as it was the one most like Fisto's. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tontus Posted October 10, 2011 I only do OT with the occasional PT, but I think I'd make an exception if LEGO were to release a set just like this. I especially like the statue. Simply brilliant use for the outdated figure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Draks Posted October 11, 2011 Great work Jammiedodger, as soon as I saw it I was reminded off the clone wars episode prior to reading your post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petrovich Posted October 14, 2011 Wow very good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
North Lego Star Posted October 15, 2011 This is a wonderul MOC, I would loe to see this as a set. If you were to just have the main base of the lair it would make for a great kamino or cloud city MOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
