Amazing! How much does it tip the scales at?

It always bothers me, such an iconic vehicle and it's the only one where the manufacturer doesn't have a company logo for a custom UCS card (Corellia Mining Corporation).

Great job :thumbup:

Movie accurate lighting was also an important goal for me. The look is achieved with LEGO LED-lights 22 pairs of 'em. :sweet:

An overlook of all important details of the model.

This is the "ugly" side of the sandcrawler. The original filming model was only finished on the right side. So I had some room for my own creativity :laugh:

Also an important goal was to create an accurate interior with a lot of functions and playing features.

I will follow up with a video as soon as possible :thumbup:

It's finished! And it's awesome! :wub:

The angles around the cockpit are just perfect, the details and textures are perfect, the greebling is perfect, the interior is perfect, the functions look perfect, and the lighting is perfect. It's all perfect! And I love the diorama.

This must be the most impressing SW model I have ever seen. Everything from the perfect angled sides, the completely lit interior, the hulking scale of the model to those minor details that give it an authentic feel like the small stairs at the bottom and the converoy belt inside the workshop. Truly a masterful work :thumbup:

Wow. I am blown away. I am literally left without words for the first time in my life. This is perfect. The exterior is great, but the really cool thing is that you managed to fit one of the best interiors I've ever seen, and motor functions! Do me a favour and keep this thing spotless. It deserves it. I can't wait for the video either :thumbup:

Simply superb, a truly beautiful creation. This is one of the very best MOCs that I’ve seen; the detail is breathtaking. :wub:

I don’t think that it would be possible to improve this in any way, and it’s great that you used Technic LEDs, to keep it 100% Lego. I’m really looking forward to seeing the video of this! :classic:

Now, I don't post, but I have to say that is just amazing, and even that doesn't do it justice. This is one of the best Lego models I've ever seen, and is definitely the best Sandcrawler ever. Some of the pictures look like they could have been used for filming the actual movie.

Wow. I am impressed. :thumbup:
