[DIO] Desert Wars (2022 H2 edition)

[Veynom]

Finally, our 2022 exhibition tour is over for Desert Wars and I can finally take the time to share a few videos and pictures..

Small reminder about Desert Wars. It is a collaborative and evolving Star Wars layout using desert landscapes. You can find various creations from various desert planets from SW. Based on the exhibitions we participate to, the number of members contributing to the layout may change. Creations can come, go, or evolve between editions. And we have a Star Wars themed train that drive around and across the layout. 

During the second half of 2022, Desert Wars was visible at:

• Francorchamps (BE) on October 29 & 30 with 9 participants, for a total of 13m long and over 16m² of surface
• Ch'tar Wars 3 at Boulogne-sur-Mer (FR) on November 11, 12, & 13, with 10 participants, for over de 16m long (more than 20m²)
• Antwerp (BE) on September 19 & 20 with only 2 participants but still for 6m long  (surface of 10m²). (We had to improvise due to the table configuration)

Before going through some photo's, let's start with the videos: 
Here in Francorchamps:

Or here in Antwerp together with Xavier (Xavier is one of the vice-champions of Legomaster season 1 in France)

And a few pictures:
First, one of our major MOC, the huge and heavy (80kg) Jabba's Palace from Xavier. It has a very detailed interior with many rooms, corridors, all full of lights

We havez also a Mandalorian outpost:

A large city with a spaceport:

Here, you can see half of the city, with the palace in the background. This is quite long...

And finally, a junkyard at the city's exit, before going into the desert:

The desert can be dangerous place as one can meet Krayt dragons, Tusken raiders, and other unfriendly surprises.

Then one will be happy to find back the security and order of a disciplined Imperial garrison:

And protected by the garrison, there is a secret Imperial hangar where many different TIE prototypes are being developed and tested.

And there is even a small communication tower which can rotates and propose lights. Even E.T. could not dream of better.

There you go. It is nearly impossible to share all details but considering the public warm reactions, I believe we are on a good track to a great result. Let's see what 2023 will provide.

Impressive layout I like that you incorporated traintracks and a train, that's something we see not often in Lego SW.

Quite the diorama. 80 kilos for Jabba's Palace alone is insane.
