UCS Sandcrawler MOC

[apemax]

A truly outstanding moc. I can't say more than that. Well done.

[cavegod]

Looks great did you change the front side angles? and i also can't wait to see what you did to keep th ecockpit roof level.

[White Cat]

Cool, a massive and outstanding moc. Love it .

[StoutFiles]

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).

[prateek]

Fantastic! Can't wait to see closer shots.

[Churchill]

Congratulations! I can't wait to see more pics.

Did the Jawas get the new contract for trash collection in Lego City?

[XimenaPaulina]

Oh marshal_banana, you tease! I'm excited to see the rest of the photos of this outstanding piece of beauty.

[CommanderFox]

Also, your photography setup and tatooine landscape look great!

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

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

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

It's finished! And it's awesome!

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 .

Quite simply.... Stunning!

Amazing work, well done

[Diggydoes]

This is...i´m speechless...AMAZING! IMPRESSIVE! HUGE!...don´t know what to say!

I was following the progress of this beauty for the last weeks, but i never tought it would turn out like THIS!!!

Amazing detailling, accurate interior!

I wish i would own this one just to look at it all night long

Btw: nice Photoshop work on the first pic! Looks really natural!

[Mr Man]

THIS IS SPA..er SANDCRAWLER!!!!!

Yup this is incredible, and that first shot of it in the darkness with the interior lit, well it's fantastic.

So huge .

[Blackknight112]

That's one beautiful but heavy baby. Can't wait for the video.

[ISDAvenger]

Yea, I do not know what to say just simply blown away here. Wish you could make an appearance with it at Lego Star Wars Days here in a couple of weeks.

[Anio]

I like the inside very very much.

Waiting for more pics.

[prateek]

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

[Lobot]

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

[ben506]

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.

[mutley777]

A perfect MOC! A truly amazing piece of work! The detail, the scale.... just stunning!!

[Darth Draks]

Pack that beast up and ship it too me now!!!

Its been great to see it come together, awesome work.
