Hollander Posted August 13, 2011 That tree is actually awesome. Just really, really nice. The only thing I would suggest is to spread the plants on the ground a little more. But that's just what I would do. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Julandrius Posted August 13, 2011 I guess the ground is indeed quite boring. Thanks for the idea, I might extend this, if I do I'll pay more attention to detail in the grass. ~Julandrius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M<0><0<DSWIM Posted August 13, 2011 Really cool scene! I agree with the others that the tree is very well-designed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDarkness Posted August 13, 2011 The tree looks awesome, and contrary to the others I love the design of the ground. Whilst simplistic, it is very effective for mine. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brickdoctor Posted August 14, 2011 The tree isn't quite the type that were on Endor, but it's lovely. Nice work on the 74-Z, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Cam Posted August 14, 2011 That is awesome! Not at all what was expecting. Who's to say if that's the tree type or not, it's a forest planet with tons of different trees. I think it's very clever, and looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StoutFiles Posted August 14, 2011 That is awesome! Not at all what was expecting. Who's to say if that's the tree type or not, it's a forest planet with tons of different trees. I think it's very clever, and looks great. It's California, and yes, there were more than just Sequoias on Endor. I do like the tree, but feel some variety of different leaves on the ground would help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Chosen_1 Posted August 14, 2011 That's a great looking diorama! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aeroeza Posted August 14, 2011 It's refreshing to see organic shapes captured so well in Lego. Your tree design is elegant and actually quite beautiful providing the centerpiece for a well executed minimalist Star Wars theme. I really like it! Thanks for sharing this one...

Julandrius Posted August 14, 2011 WOW, thanks for all the kind replies people. Really cheers me up. Anyways, I know there are lots of differebt trees on Endor, but I still have the feeling it looks quite out of place. I guess it would look better on Kashyyyk. So that is probably what my next MOC will be, but then a diorama that's way bigger as 16 x 16. I'll try to make it movie-accurate, I will try to add custom vehicles. Not just the sets unless the sets are good the way they are. I hope I can get on with this ASAP, and I thank all of you for the C&C, it's much appreciated. Also glad you like the speeder Brickdoctor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
treeboy Posted August 14, 2011 It's California, and yes, there were more than just Sequoias on Endor. I do like the tree, but feel some variety of different leaves on the ground would help. Correction: Northern California. Great looking tree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XimenaPaulina Posted August 14, 2011 A very nice 'slice' of Endor with this pretty neat vig Julandrius, ten more of these and you can create a bigger Endor diorama (but that would be too much to ask I guess) . Still, good job and looking forward for your Kashyyyk one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still, good job and looking forward for your Kashyyyk one! I'm not sure if my collection of leaves will let me. But as for the brown tubes, I was able to get 2000 of bricklink very cheap :D So I might extend, but it will be Kashyyyk instead of Endor I think, or are these trees good enough for Endor? I mean, Kashyyyk would look better right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Man Posted August 14, 2011 So I might extend, but it will be Kashyyyk instead of Endor I think, or are these trees good enough for Endor? I mean, Kashyyyk would look better right? This type of tree is better suited to Kashyyyk yes. Sounds good . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P4trickvH Posted August 14, 2011 I really love the way the tree was done. Overall very sweet MOC ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hollander Posted August 14, 2011 Yes, I think this type of tree would fit better with Kasyyyk than Endor too. The trees at Kashyyyk seem to be curve shaped, while the ones at Endor are just straight up. Nice speeder btw, do you have any close up shots? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julandrius Posted August 14, 2011 Nice speeder btw, do you have any close up shots? It's basically thisone: An earlier design of me, but then with a more accurate/fixed back, the front is the same though. And thanks all :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Builder Posted August 14, 2011 That's one very cool tree! I really like the way it wraps around its self. Good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hollander Posted August 14, 2011 As far as I can see the current speeder you used in the build is way better than the earlier design. I think the front looks really good and accurate. Maybe you can even add the laser cannon (using a black screwdriver for example) to make it even more realistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you can even add the laser cannon (using a black screwdriver for example) to make it even more realistic. Indeed, the back of the first veroin was totally not accurate. I think the 2nd version is way batter, though it's a little to flat IMO. Thanks for the screwdriver idea, might try that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Praiter Yed Posted August 14, 2011 A beautiful tree design Julandrius and a very nice vignette. You've captured the feeling of movement with the speeder bike very well and I don't think the ground is boring at all - I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kendo Posted August 16, 2011 Wow , that tree is a total success , and your approach of the speeder is also very interesting ( a worthy opponent for Brickdoctor 's design ) . All in all , it's one of the best mocs that I've ever seen .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
