Epic. It's mind boggling how many of these you designed. I'd love to see one in brick form!

Glad I could help. It's a challenge to BL this thing, but you appreciate the final result so much more...

Has anyone built a Mos Eisley Spaceport diorama around it like the Death Star Hangar model? i would like to see that sometime. Might have to tackle it myself...

I hadn't seen those, nice find!

Hey, I've been bricklinking the UCS Falcon from 2007 and have seen a lot of mods. I usually mod stuff that I bricklink, and was looking for inspiration. If you've modded one and want to share what you've done/know of a modded one, post it here. Here's what I've seen: http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6036/7001072249_69b17c62c1_c.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7176/7001103569_d5fe095706_c.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7240/6854949508_5ff51e7126_c.jpg From this post: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=67628 Aall of the ones from here: http://www.fbtbforums.net/viewtopic.php?t=24351&highlight=&sid=1cb916fc337648b35f11e5562df6641 This photo set: https://www.flickr.com/photos/marshal-banana/4757411621/in/set-72157622309088161/ http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2879037 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Star-Wars-Ultimate-Millennium-Falcon-10179-Custom-BLACK-New-100-complete-/111120232218?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item19df482f1a&afsrc=1&nma=true&si=zCBtGZV2pHpPZ0kSGnGFAEt4cCg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 At the risk of repeating myself, http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=38627 http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/45629 http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/299502 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=81759 and the stuff on this page: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=89683&st=25 Post if you know of anything else...

Thanks! Anyone know anything about the Slave I for sure?

I did a small Kashyyk (I hope I spelled that right) MOC back when this set came out: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=7671-1 ...just 4 baseplates, nothing like the scale you're working with. IMHO most important thing to nail is the beach. If you get that right, the rest of the diorama just kind of falls (or clicks) into place. I found that layering the beach with different shades of tan was important. As you can see in this image, the water is a subtly greenish color and the beach isn't super tan, almost a grayish. I mixed in green and clear 1X1 round studs to make the water, and it looked awful until I got the ratio of clear to greens right. After that I think it looked pretty good.I don't know if it's very clear here, but foliage is pretty thick around the trees and sparse everywhere else until you move in deeper. Foliage it also important to get right, if it looks natural than your MOC will look great. Trees can be hard to do, It's very important to utilize SNOT in their construction and have lots of variety in their shapes. The new Ewok village is pretty close to what I did in terms of shape, but I quickly found that large trees look weird if you use too many shades of brown. I stuck to using only 2 colors per tree and found that brown/dark brown looks really nice, as well as reddish brown/dark orange. I also built a Wookiee platform into one of the trees. I never could get it to look quite right, but it's certainly been done. Minifigs are important, but I realize now that my diorama was too crowded. A few well placed figs is better than tons of randomly scattered troops. It's also important to load it with detail, I endeavored to design my MOC so that wherever there was action realistic details could be seen, i.e. medkits, injured troopers, trampled foliage, churning water, etc. I wish I had some pics, but didn't take any due to laziness/bad photography skills. Can't wait to see your MOC! Not sure if that image showed up in my comment, here's a link: http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20050624151621/starwars/images/thumb/f/f4/Kashyyyk_trees.jpg/500px-Kashyyyk_trees.jpg

I'm looking forward to the final version. This is really well done, I'd love to see someone do a full sized version of this (at minifig scale).

Man, those dunes...I love it, it's perfect. The Sarlaac is spot on. What was the hardest part to build?

Do we have any concrete info on the Slave I yet? Also, do we know if a hammerhead minifig will be in the Cantina set, or is this just speculation?

Thanks for doing this, it's what inspired me to BL mine...I'm almost finished, just a few more pieces to go!

I don't think the Sandcrawler is supposed to be a UCS. Do we know for sure yet?

I've thought about this, but the LBG/LG problems have deterred me...good luck if you decide to tackle it!

Hello, everyone! I'm a MOCer from the US who loves Lego, pizza and watching movies. I've viewed eurobricks for several years now, and decided it was time to join. See you around the other forums!

Resell value is also greatly diminished if you don't buy the rigging. I love ScottishDave's engine design, though. It solves the lighting problem and ultimately looks better than the official version. Might have to mod my falcon after seeing that one... Exactly. The original's greebles look good, but they're not exactly accurate, esp. in the front and sides. I've seen plenty of modded Falcon's which look more accurate to the movie version and don't have some of the more expensive parts. I have yet to see a custom radar dish that looks good, though. I think I'll have to bite the bullet and get that one...

I hope for an Ughanaut, but I expect I'll be disappointed...

Whoa, interesting design...

All right, looking forward to the project reveal...

I like the model! Forced perspective is tricky to pull off, but you've done it well.

Awesome, man! Very clean. I especially like the bar, very well done.

Nice review, but I think I'll pass on this one. But that cockpit is pretty tempting.

Agreed. Let's see the end result, man!

Great idea!

I'm doing the same thing, have any of you read this: http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=81759 I love this idea, it's saving me several hundred dollars! I don't understand why it doesn't have more comments...

Insane. I would love to see this in brick form. Nice work!
