dmaclego Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Guys, Some of you may remember my AT-AT model, some of you may know my Lambda shuttle and some of you may even have heard these were crucial parts of my crazy idea called Project:Endor. Well, it's done. Thirteen years ago I started working on a virtual LEGO model of the Imperial Shuttle. It took me 6 months. Then I spent another year building it with real bricks. And when it was completed, I heard - from LEGO designer Adam Grabowski, whom some of you may know as Misterzumbi - that maybe I could build a small scene for that model. Well, I took the idea to my heart - as you can see today ;) . As time went by, my shuttle became set 10212, over 1 meter tall trees grew up one by one and the platform slowly took shape. Ultimately, "the small scene" became some 200 kg of bricks, set upon 48 baseplates. I have no idea how many bricks are in it. Fortunately, neither has my Wife ;) . I won't bore you with minutiae - if you have any questions (about electric functions, details or anything else), just shoot. In this gallery you can find a photographic history of Project: Endor - pics of the finished project can be found, of course, at the very end. In time, there will be more of them; they just need editing. Also, I'm slowly working on a movie presentation but that will take quite a while, since some of the mechanisms were damaged during recent exhibition. Have a good time watching the pics and please, feel free to leave comments if you wish. 072 - Seriously happy by Maciej Szymański, on Flickr 077 - Endor by night by Maciej Szymański, on Flickr Edited August 25, 2017 by dmaclego Typos etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Borex Posted July 13, 2017 Just to let you know how jealous i am of you :-) who doesn't want to have this in his/her house. Thanks for sharing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A guy who does not have an extra room for monstrously huge LEGO creations? Because that would be me :D . My Project: Endor will spend considerable time in boxes before I present it again. Without dedicated space for it (and, preferably, a glass cabinet) it would just gather dust. Sad but true :( . Thank you for your kind words! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for your kind words! This creation deserves a complete room, glass cabinet and security guards around in a museum so it can be admired properly.

Bbafett Posted July 13, 2017 Wow! That is amazing. Great job! I love the AT-AT especially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schneeds Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) That is just fantastic. The towers look great and are deceptively massive, and the trees add a lot to the scene without you even realizing it. Also, you managed to add an excellent ramp to the shuttle, which is worthy of a post in-and-of itself ;) Where's Luke and Vader?! Edit: Nvm, I spotted them. :) Edited July 13, 2017 by Schneeds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brickdad Posted July 13, 2017 Every now and then I am utterly blown away what people can create out of little studs of plastic. This is one of those moments. Truly a masterpiece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is like where is Waldo. lol. I just noticed that the lights work at night on the landing pad. Very nice touch there. I didn't catch that detail the first time.

Bandit778 Posted July 15, 2017 Totally epic display piece, congratulations on your perseverance and the finished build. Work this well done seriously deserves a permanent display place so it can be admired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lobot Posted July 15, 2017 Thanks for sharing this @dmaclego - it's truly awesome (and I don't use that word very often!) I've been watching your progress on this via flickr, and it's genuinely one of the very best that I've seen. The level of attention to detail is incredible; most builders would just focus on creating an Imperial Shuttle, AT-AT or landing platform, but you've managed all three! Your approach to the platform supports is unique as far as I know; I dread to think how many parts they required (or the cost) but the end result is well worth it. I hope that you're able to display this long-term, so that it can get the recognition it deserves - a true masterpiece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
