Thedbbuildworks Posted July 1 Posted July 1 (edited) Big Moff: “We got an invite to Bar Tibanna. You’re going first — keep your eyes open and your ears open wider. If something goes wrong, I want to hear about it before I step foot there.” Yolee: “Understood, ma’am… But if this goes sideways, are you really sending SLG-R to get me out, or is this gonna be like that time on Nal Hutta?” Big Moff: “You got yourself out of that mess and came back with a hell of a scar. What more do you want from me?” Built on an abandoned Tibanna Gas collecting platform in the clouds of Bespin, Bar Tibanna began is an easy black market harvesting station, over time the station grew both in wealth and network, until it was making more money in members fees than Tibanna revenue. Now the platform drifts through Bespin like a ghost, transponder was taken out years ago, the only way to ever find your way to Bar Tibanna is by invitation. It’s not clear who runs Bar Tibanna, but one things for certain, you only end up here if you’ve got something to offer… and a couple of photos of the platform without figures cluttering up the space Edited July 1 by Thedbbuildworks Added missing text Quote
Yperio_Bricks Posted July 2 Posted July 2 Wow, this is so good! Love the bar! I like the techniques you used to shape the round platform and that dark heavy looking door is a nice contrast to the rest of the build. We have some flowers and the trans-colored panels add to the atmosphere. I also like the greebling on the underside and that little guy sitting on the pipe haha And again, the edited picture is top notch This bar has to be my favorite Quote
Artizan Posted July 2 Posted July 2 The curvature of the platform is perfectly shaped! Also the idea of a roofless floating tibanna platform turning into a bar is great. Quote

Much appreciated feedback! i cant tell you how many times i would catch this thing as i'd be building and nearly knock it over, especially as both ends had to be built concurrently so as to keep the whole thing balanced. i've tried a lot more this year to focus on stud orientation to achieve shapes, i did that a bit with last years coruscant build, but i thought there was room for improvement. the absolute savior of this moc is those extra long rey flex tubes, i picked them up on bricklink about a year ago, no specific use in mind, but the entire outer curve of the platform hangs from those flex tubes.

MKJoshA Posted July 7 Posted July 7 I'm not sure that breathing straight Tibanna gas is good for the patrons, but other than that who wouldn't want to come to this bar? It's fantastic! The round shape is impressive, as is the structural integrity allowing it to float. I think you could have changed up some of your figures so they weren't straight from the Cantina set, but overall a great cast of characters to compliment an amazing MOC. Quote
Thedbbuildworks Posted July 11 Author Posted July 11 Sorry about the figures, I’m autistic so if it wasn’t in the category specification I didn’t think it’d be an issue, the two unaltered characters where included because I thought they fit in with the scene as they were. thank you for you feedback though, it is appreciated and I’ll try to take it into account if I enter the competition again Quote
