Capt welcomes you to an MOC in progress

[The Legonater]

Wow. Nice Treawheel droid. I love the X-wing underf construction. Nice work yet again!

[Brickdoctor]

Is the 1999 X-wing somehow more accurate than the 2006 one? (size, maybe?) Because Brickplumber's Hoth dio also used only the old version.

Nevermind

If anything, the older 7140 X-wing is less accurate to minifigure size than the newer version. But I think there are certain details on the older version (shape and printing on the nose, grey color, etc.) which I prefer to the newer one. Plus, a smaller X-wing allows for a smaller diorama, which is always good for those in shortage of parts.

The bridgelike structure over the X-wing and the tile floor looks amazing. I love that after all those Menace-based dioramas you're showing one from the original Trilogy. I can't wait to see the finished product ACPin!

Thought so.

Under pre-flight maintenance checks as it's being refueled and R2 unit lifted by tow arm to its berth.

Not really as I've had this built and didn't want to open the other one.

^Ditto^

That structure has to support the second level and I've also gotten tired of the PT after having them done in the last few months. Perhaps next week if all goes according to plan.

It's starting to look really good AC! I really am liking the hanger floor a lot right not!

[RileyC]

This is truly going to be a huge MOC. I really can wait to see the whole thing.

P.S. I love your treadwell droid in the third pic!

Finally taking shape and will just have to repeat that hangar several times.

Whole size was mentioned in previous responses and would be completed soon.

I see the Falcon at the top.

I see the Falcon at the top.

I do too. I guess that B-Wing proves it isn't a Yavin MOC....

Looking fantastic as allways ACPin!

You seem to outdo your previous mocs easily. It'd be cool if you could join it to KimT Yavin IV moc, then it would become the ultimate yavin set up!

first post back from a few months break, feels nice! Loving the new forum setup, alot more tidy

Remember that this is still a wip and things are not what they end up to be in the final scene.

You're on the right track.

Maybe somebody wants to pay up for the expenses to have them together?

[prateek]

That troop transport is really cool!

[Brickdoctor]

You're on the right track.

So, can we expect R-22 Spearheads and Z-95 Headhunters?

I am actually in the middle of making a Z-95 Headhunter.

If I can only fit all of them in the small space (2x3 large baseplates).

You really should make your own thread about it.

Hmm.... most interesting. So if this is the last preview pic, will the full version be coming soon?

Bah, retcons.

2x3 large baseplates? So it's 128x192 studs that's huge! (102.4cm x 153.6cm!!!)

I'm really not sure about how accurate this diorama actually is (for one, no walls separating fighters in the actual hangar) but the attention to small details and the floor tiling makes this absolutely amazing.

And here we thought you had endless supplies of baseplates and tan 2x2 tiles.

Didn't the Great Temple have multiple hanger levels? I remember in the Junior Jedi Knights series, Anakin Solo used an elevator to access an underground hanger.

for one, no walls separating fighters in the actual hangar

[ThatGuyWithTheBricks]

Looks super delicious so far! My only qualms are that you used the older sets.

[ACPin]

Wait is over, go see the completed work!
