lgorlando Posted July 1, 2010 I use LDD almost daily and I've been tinkering with this design of a micro scale Coruscant for sometime. It is almost complete and should clear about 5000 pieces once it is finished. It is modular (the buildings sit on top of smooth plate "plaques" that hold the buildings up write in place) and the base is several 32 x 32 plates that connect in a grid with technique pieces. It is still a Work In Progress but with all the LDD hype that has hit Eurobricks as of late, I felt this would be a nice piece of inspiration for those that are still tinkering with the possibility of LDD as a design tool. I'll post the finished LDD file at a later date. If I get the guts (and the cash) I will also build as a display vignette. Thanks and I hope you are inspired!

Corydoras Posted July 1, 2010 Wow, it looks really good. Not sure if it's because the MOC is beautiful or because it goes well with the background, though... Are you planning to add the Senate building to the diorama? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Arjay Posted July 1, 2010 Looking good so far. Though I agree with Corydoras, maybe you could show it without the background in order to get a better feel of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brickfoot Posted July 1, 2010 It looks outstanding but more views would be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted July 1, 2010 Very interesting 'lgorlando', might be a bit hard to do in real bricks though without a loan from the bank ! Nice LDD job there and I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lgorlando Posted July 1, 2010 Thanks for the feedback. @Corydoras, my moc is a scene from the "downtown" district. From my research, The senate building is in a different area of the planet where the architecture seem more "roman", and aero (if that makes sense). If I pull this off, I would definitely attempt a microscale diorama of the senate section. here is a link of the senate section I was going for the Neo-Metropolis section of Coruscant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Commander_Rob Posted July 2, 2010 Very cool MOC, the details on the buildings are nicely done. Looking forward to more, and I must say, you have chosen the district of Coruscant that has the nicest architecture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted July 2, 2010 This looks awesome. If this was conceptualized into a real MOC, it'd be epic. You did a great job, it really looks like the skyline of Corrusant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The dome would be pretty hard to build, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're right. The senate building is a must. I'm not sure how big is should be in scale to something like this but I believe the dome shape can be pulled off with some plates. I foresee a LOT of plates though! Thanks again for the suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Legonater Posted July 2, 2010 Nice! I once tried to do soemthing like this in MINI, but it really wasn't the best. I hope you do more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted July 2, 2010 Nice. I look forward to seeing it ordered through Design by Me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
