Lono Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Hello! This is my first post on these forums so I hope I do ok. When I was a kid I played with Lego a lot, but, for a long time it's remained a happy memory. Well, no more! Since the start of 2013 I bought various Minifigs, my girlfriend got me the Shellob LoTR set on my birthday and we recently bought the Simpson's house which we are slowly building together. I had so much fun with all that, I knew I had to treat myself, so, I got a Death Star kit to play about with! It was fun to build it following the instructions, but, I soon dismantled it to make some stuff of my own. Totally freestyling it and putting bits together without a plan, I managed to end up with this. :) It's made with just the Death Star kit as I don't have extra spares. There are a few additional Minifigs added, but that's it. So, I believe this is my first MOC for about 20 years. Don't think it will be my last! Front view of the entire moonbase. The moonbase prepares to fire. The evil Lord Doom at the helm, ready to lay waste to any unfortunates who get in his way! The sensor array scans for another target. Opening it up to show the main power-core. The top level worker and Lord Doom have jetpacks to quickly zoom around and check systems and readouts. Another angle of the interior with side modules removed. A back view of the station, showing its Commander. Another back view The secondary power coil, which creates the deadly radioactive energy blasts the planetkiller can fire. Trapped inside is Lord Doom's prisoner, The Beast, who comes from a species immune to the deadly radioactivity. He dreams of escape! Lord Doom smirking away as the moonbase locks onto a target. In his cell The Beast reluctantly powers up the radioactivity beam while a guard watches from above. Views of just the main module (I made it in three bits for ease of movement and to show off The Beast's cell better) and the little latch for holding the front together. Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 That looks pretty quirky! Especially for your first MOC in 20 years. Welcome to Eurobricks by the way! Quote
Steel Tiger Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 A good looking moc for your first go around! The only thing I would say to add would be to put some smooth bricks in the indoor areas to keep some of those exposed studs covered, if possible. Quote
Lono Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Thanks for the welcomes and the positive feedback folks. :) Steel Tiger - Once I get more spare bricks I'll be able to smooth things out a lot more. For now I'm limited by the bits that I have. Need to work out if the best way to get extras is through sets or just buying bricks. Quote
