dimnico Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Hi there guys, I havent posted in a while but thats not because I haven't been building, I have just been away with work! I have a couple of builds to share with you starting with this... It is my recreation of the final scenes from Revenge of the Sith. As with all my MOCs I have kept this on a 16x16 base. Here it is in comparison to the actual scene from the film... Quite a fun build this, especially making the Death Star look like it is in the early stages of construction. And I loved the fact I could use the new style Vader and Tarkin (From A-Wing vs Tie Advanced set) as I think they are two really good looking mini figs. I took the figures off for these shots to show the detail on the panelling. Finally, It is impossible to resist a selfie! As always I hope you enjoy and any feedback would be greatly appreciated! More builds on the way! Edited October 31, 2016 by dimnico Quote
Mr Greeble Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Very nice, clean build! It stays true to the source material. Quote
FTG Prime Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Fantastic job buddy ! You did a great job re-creating the scene, it looks great !! Quote
makoy Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Great work on the forced perspective of the Death Star for such a small scale MOC. Keep it up! Quote
Hold0511 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Love it - especially the selfie one.... Quote
frikandeloorlog Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Great job!, What made you pick this particular scene from the movie? Quote
dimnico Posted October 31, 2016 Author Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks for all the positive feedback guys! 30 minutes ago, frikandeloorlog said: Great job!, What made you pick this particular scene from the movie? I went for this particular scene for a number of reasons really. First of all with all the Rouge One buzz flying about I thought it would be good to go back to where the Death Star started! Second it is such an iconic moment in the prequel trilogy and thirdly after looking at the scene I thought it would lend itself to a lego recreation quite nicely! I am currently building another iconic image from the prequels - stay tuned! Quote
strider117 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Ah yes! Great capture of the source material. Actually just a few seconds later comes my favorite SW shot ever (attached). Anyway good job, looks nice Quote
Cpt. Dan Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Love this MOC. The space debris around the DS is a great touch. Definitely one of the more chilling scenes in the PT, IMO. Just knowing how bad the next 19 years will be.... Quote

Leonardo da Bricki Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 That is awesome! Very true to source, looks great, lots of details. Quote
Forresto Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 Wow very cool, love the death star in the background! I especially enjoy the emperor's face for the selfie Quote
Cody Startale Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Absolutely lovely! You did great, it's instantly recognizable. Also, I somehow love how the Lego Death Star instantly reminds me of the one in the Star Wars Atari games back in the days: Edited November 3, 2016 by Cody Startale Quote
Tariq j Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 That looks amazing! Especially the way you've done the Death Star. Quote
The Architect Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Very nice! It's refreshing to see such a beautiful small MOC from time to time! The attention to detail is second to none. Quote
BobThePom Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 Neat scene! Perhaps some more lights on the under-side of the control panels would make them more accurate but otherwise, good job! It's an excellent use of the new figures. Quote

I have updated this with more lights and changed the scene to show Kylo Ren watching the starkiller base fire. I will post the pics soon! On 11/3/2016 at 4:21 PM, The Architect said: Very nice!

I love building at this scale 1) because its a fun challenge to see what you can achieve in a limited amount of space and 2) more importantly my flat isnt that big and my wife doesnt want huge mocs taking up all the space ;) Quote
The Architect Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Yes indeed . Hope to see more from you! Quote
Lfm55 Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Old topic but i really love your Moc! That pixel art DS is wonderful Quote

Jerry McGlade Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Very nice, the red pieces are not quite the right colour. They should be beige but after that, fantastic! Quote
Cylo Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 Looks great! It be much better if you had a dark grey Tarkin though! Quote

I think my skills have vastly improved since then but I am glad you still like it! If you want to check out some of my more recent builds check out @legodimnico on Instagram! Thanks Quote
Samppu Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Whoa, I hadn't seen this one before, but it really gave me some inspiration! Wonderful idea and good work! - Samppu Quote
