[MOC] Artoo gets the message

Recommended Posts

This is a scene from A New Hope where Leia hands over the Death Star plans (on a five and a quarter inch floppy disc?) to Artoo aboard the Tantive IV that I've wanted to do for a while. I challenged myself to pull it off in an hour. The lighting was achieved by awkwardly holding a laser pointer in my mouth trying to hit the red 2x2 trans-red dish while I grabbed the shot! Comments greatly appreciated!

Without "lighting"...

When shown with the lighting it looks a near-perfect recreation of the scene.

Great scene! I love it once the lighting is added. It's simple, but very effective. The angle could be a bit different, but it's fine the way it is.

Very nice. I'm surprised there are not small sets like this. Shorten the corridor, throw in a couple of some storm troopers to arrest her, sell it like a battle pack. But they have to do the vehicles...

TLG did a couple set like that a long time ago with Final Duel 1 and 2 (7200 and 7201) although they were much smaller scale, but I like the idea of small scale scenes as sets.

Really nicely done! You could shorten the hall as mentioned and it would be a perfect modular vignette.
