Vector Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) Hello Eurobricks community! I want to announce my new long-term project: Jabba's Palace I'm planning to build first of all Jabba's throne room and some rooms around it and of course, the Rancor pit. I also want to try to incorporate LEDs to create a proper atmosphere and if anyone knows a good seller in the interplay with LEGO bricks please tell me:) Some parts are already here and others ordered, unfortunaly Tan bricks are expensive but I am confident;) I already started with the first structures and have attached some pictures of the first arch and the already known Rancor. Here the first Pictures (don't worry there will be more;)): Just click on the links (I'm not allowed to use that image extension on this board.) Updates in the last post! arch with Twi'lek arch Rancor Cheers, Vector Edited April 7, 2012 by Vector Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

382nd Legionnaire Posted March 28, 2012 The rancor is amazing, I can't wait until the rest is finished. Can the rancor fit Oola or any minifig in its mouth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vector Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) Hello! I'm glad and thankful to see you commented:) I also want to apologize for the long building pause I had because of the long wait for my BL orders to come, but, finally I got them and started building immediatly. The Rancor can open it's mouth and hold almost a hole minifigure in it;) I might be taking a photo shooting of it soon... Til' now there are not much changes, I started building the palace in intermateable sections so the work is easier and all in all it's more comfortable to transport and build. Also I have started building Jabba's throne in SNOT technics and the walls of the main audiance chamber has grown;) Well I will come up with new updates soon but so far here some pictures: Throne and bow Archway to Han Solo in carbonite Entrance to throne room I'm also sorry for the bad picture quality, I hope to improve that soon^^ C&C welcome, Vector Edited April 7, 2012 by Vector Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vector Posted April 10, 2012 Hello and thanks again for the comments:) I am waiting for some Orders to come, I hope they all arrive tomorrow so I can post some new updates. But I will try to awnser your questions in this post;). That looking good mate. I built a Jabba's palace for the ROJ community build, reminds me a lot of mine. I ran out of time and parts but would have loved to put more into it. I'll be watching this build in antisapation. I would love to see it, where do I find pictures? The rancor is amazing, I can't wait until the rest is finished. Can the rancor fit Oola or any minifig in its mouth? Thank you, the Rancor is able to open it's mouth and hold almost a hole minifigure in it. That rancor looks great how many pieces did it take to build? Thanks again;) I built the Rancor some month ago and it took 500 to 600 pieces I think. Its looking really good mate, can't wait to see the rest, u how many of jabbas minions are you planning on making? Also thank you;) I think I will buy the new Palace in Summer or at least the figures, maybe I'll get some of the Action figures so I can make some realistic looking customs like Ephant Mon or Ree Yees. Of course there should be the band, Bib Fortuna, Malakili, Oola, Gammorean Guards, Droids and so on... I hope I awnsered your questions and sorry again for missspellings.

Vector Posted April 12, 2012 Hello! I'm sorry to double post but I have new updates! So finally the Bricklink orders arrived so I could build a little more... The walls are now higher and I have started with the floor and the quests sections on the other side of the throne room. I'm happy with the project til now but unfortunatly I'm running out of money so I will need to build with the parts I got yet (don't be afraid, I still have enough^^)and I'm glad that I can now start building the rooms beside the throne room and when that is done go on to the Rancor pit. Here are some pictures: The throne room with floor guest section throne room with guest section The holes in the guest section are for the LED's I will buy later on;) C&C welcome, Vector Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wokajablocka Posted April 22, 2012 The new progress looks good. Here is my build of the palace. Looking at it again yours is looking to much better than mine. Like I said earlier I would have loved to build mine more like yours but due to parts and time this is what I ended up with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
