[MOC] first post! Bespin duel

[Richpepperell]

Hey,

I've been MOCing scenes from the Star Wars movies (pretty much exclusively OT) but I've only just gotten round to posting! This is my latest - the infamous Bespin Duel. Checked loads of movie stills, but couldn't find a single view of the whole gantry, so I've taken a bit of artistic licience. The main reason it's taken so long to get round to is the lack of a Bespin Luke minifig - I've put him together from a rebel technician torso and Johnny Thunder (jungle) legs!

I couldn't resist getting Luke to throw himself off at the end!

Hi Richpepperell, and welcome to Eurobricks!

It's always good to see something from Cloud City, and you've done a great job. The detailing on the antenna assembly is particularly good.

I hope you don't mind but I've deeplinked a couple of the photos from flickr. For future reference here's a few instructions to do this (it may be different depending on the browser you're using, but hopefully it might be a useful starting point):

i) Select the photo in flickr and click on the download 'arrow' in the bottom-right of the screen

ii) Select 'View all sizes' and then click on the hyperlink for your preferred size (maximum of 600 x 800!)

iii) Next right-click on the photo and select 'Properties'. If you're using Chrome you can just select 'Copy image URL' and go to step v)

iv) Next copy the 'Address: (URL)' details (it will start 'https:' and end with 'jpg'

v) Next create a new thread in Eurobricks and click on the 'image' icon on the toolbar (it looks like a framed tree!)

vi) Paste in the copied photo address in the 'URL' and click 'OK'

Cheers, Robin

One thing I would suggest, is changing the Luke head to the one from the Ewok Village/Death Star Final Duel, so you can have Luke frowning.

Nice one!

Nice job, especially on the posing of the minifigs.

Excellent work! You've done a good job capturing the details of the scene!

Instantly remind people of that scene in the movie, great job!!

[Richpepperell]

Thanks for all the fantastic feedback - really encouraging. I've made a couple of changes and I'm just waiting for a new hairpiece for Luke to arrive then I'll post some more pics. I'm going more for the vibe of the scene rather than total screen-accuracy so I'm chuffed with the responses so far!

Amazing! Looks great!
