Hoth Rebel Posted April 27, 2017 The most expensive parts were the 6x12 wedge pieces (20 left 20 right in Dark Red and LBG) and the 3x8 tan wedge (mostly because they only came in a few sets and I bought them all from 1 seller to save me some trouble). Most of them are common parts. I think I Placed 4-5 small to mediumsized bl orders and used 10-20% of my own pieces. I think all together it was around €200-300, but I order parts for multiple projects at a time so I don't know for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I tried to put them all in one cart (not the best idea) and they had their prices a little over priced. The edge pieces are definitely the most expensive parts. It was like $5 dollars a piece for them. I'll try doing it a few different carts and see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've made this moc just by looking at those pictures, but I want to give all the credit to this builder. I've made pictures while building this so you can see how it was constructed. 1. The beginning Perfect! I think I am gonna use that as a template for the rebel conference room with the Death Star holo in the middle. A lot of space for many rebel pilots and such.

dulsi Posted April 27, 2017 Very nice. I wondered how that ideas project made it's shape. I produced a very simple section of a chamber to make a story for my kids. I don't know that I'll ever produce a fully Jedi Council chamber but it nice to see how roundish shapes are created. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aukevin Posted April 27, 2017 Nice work. I've always loved this MOC, Thanks for showing the beginning of the floorings as that's the hardest part to figure out I thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcanik Posted May 1, 2017 Great Build! Like that you included the floor shots to see how you created the angles before putting the finishing floor on top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am meaning that they might have plans to release a Jedi council in the upcoming years. Obviously, they didn't accept the Lego Ideas one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishW Posted May 2, 2017 Awesome set! Really well built! I like the use of the leaf part on the ground for detail. High class build all around, so much excellent stuff and attention to detail! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but that announcement came long after the original Jedi Council MOC was submitted and rejected, at which point you could still submit designs based on Star Wars, LotR, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoth Rebel Posted May 2, 2017 They haven't been accepting already licensed ideas for a long time, but it was never 'official'. That's the reason the official idea didn't get accepted. If they were to make a council like this it has to be an UCS set as this build used more than 2200 pieces and has 15 minifigs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As has already been stated, it may have been rejected because TLG already had a Jedi Council set (UCS or otherwise) in development. Or because they simply preferred another idea in that round. Or because the design didn't meet their standards, whatever those are. Or any number of reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Franklinw1234 Posted May 14, 2017 @Kevii23 I am putting together your version of the council on LDD and I can't figure out how to do the last section of the floor. I would appreciate it if you could explain how to do it. It would be even more helpful if you had any pictures of how to do it. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoth Rebel Posted May 14, 2017 Ah yea, that one was highly improvised and only came as I wanted to at the very end (which is why it's not really on the pictures). I will try to make some better ones later this week, but it is indeed different than on the first pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ali1994 Posted May 15, 2017 I progressed a little bit by your flickr pictures. Can you upload section where entrance meets with angular plates? I am having hard time to connect both those sections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am having hard time to connect both those sections. Yeah, I can't seem to do that section either. I think that it is more of a fault of the LDD, because you can do it in real life. I also can't figure out the two red parts on the side. How did you do them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Franklinw1234 Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) I am also having some trouble with connecting the circle part of the floor. Is there something I need to do with the floor? I have 1x2 plates with knobs surrounding the area, is there another step to it? Here is the picture Edited May 15, 2017 by Franklinw1234 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
