Whew! This thing wasn't very fun to build, but I saw it through to the bitter end. It didn't turn out as nice as I would've liked, but I just wanted to get it done with.

Ooh a CMF poncho for Qui Gon , shame about the un Qui Gon like face . I love the grills on the floor as well.

Thanks for the comment! However although it kinda doesn't look like him, that is his official face!

Totally worth it. My favorite part is the protocol droid in the background. Nice eye!

[JackJonespaw]

Looks great, Walt! NPU all around!

[JimButcher]

I like it. The first thing that stuck out to me was the inside out poncho, very clever idea.  

[KielDaMan]

Fantastic work Walt! Like what the others have said the use of the poncho on Qui-Gon is really clever and a nice 'cherry on top' of this very well-done build.

Awesome moc, one of the better watto shops around, great work  

[Lobot]

Very nice work Walt  

It's interesting to see how you did this; in hindsight I should have used more dark grey in mine as yours looks much nicer!  I especially like the 'skeleton' droid on the left wall and the shop counter - I found it really difficult to re-create this.  All you need now is to add a few Technic LEDs  

Cheers, Robin

I know, it just looks nothing like him, I used the older one in my sig because of that.

Thank you everyone!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the blog post.

Oh! Yeah, it kinda doesn't now that you mention it. I wish he had a double sided head too, because that would've worked well with his headgear.

Thanks! I really liked your version though. It had the interesting hanging metal bits of junk and scrap. I originally wanted to stick that into mine, but it would've made it too awkward to photograph.

Hello!

A nicely assembled store! All the technical pieces are well-built and put in place. There's the right feeling for Watto's junkyard shop.

Cheers,

Great work!
Love the way you built the ground. Simple, but effective. And the counter...

The amount of mechanical and junky details you've captured here is incredible. This is one of those MOCs that truly captures the feel of a location. My favorite part would have to be the protocol droid - not because it's there, but, rather, because the way you've posed it gives it the perfect impression of hanging limp and being powered off.

[The_Chosen_1]

This is awesome!  You did a great job of capturing the scene, Walt.  This is one environment that I always wished Lego would release as a set.

[Artizan]

Fantastic! I don't think this scene could be portrayed any better. love all the details.

[Walter]

Thanks you three! I appreciate the comments.
