There has been a flurry of Endor-related MOCs recently, presumably inspired in-part by the new Ewok Village, and this one by Lars Kumpfert on MOCpages.com has caught my eye. It’s quite an unusual design, both in scale and the types of elements used.
The MOC includes both the Biker Scout, shown in the photo above, plus Luke racing along side. The surrounding scene includes a mass of coloured slopes, which are used to re-create a large tree trunk and a rocky outcrop; it’s unusual but it works well. There are several other photos which show the model at other angles, so take a look.
Several months ago Master Builder cavegod published some photos of his latest UCS WIP, a GR-75, or more commonly known as a Rebel Transport. Although it was still in the early stages, it was already looking up to Pete’s excellent standards.
Well, after what seemed to be a long wait, we can now see the final model and it’s just beautiful! I can appreciate why Pete has struggled to complete it, due to the very unusual shape, but it’s genuinely the best version that I’ve seen. The mix of colours on the hull is just right and helps to re-create the ’weathered’ look of the original model, and the level of detailing is superb. Head over to the Star Wars forum and take a look.

New EB member Gerechtigkeitsliga, has recently published some photos of his now completed Coruscant diorama, which is rather impressive! It’s always nice to see a MOC of a less common SW environment and this is one of the very best, and largest, that I’ve seen of Coruscant.
It’s taken Gerechtigkeitsliga nearly 5 months to complete, averaging 2-5 hours per day, and this is evident throughout the entire of the build; the sheer volume of detail is amazing. To be honest, anything that includes LEDs and Lobot was always going to appeal to me, so perhaps I’m a little biased, but please take a moment to look at the other photos of this excellent MOC!
We don’t usually get many Halloween-themed MOCs in the Star Wars forum, much less any good ones, but every once in a blue harvest we get a gem like Markus1984′s latest MOC. It shows Luke, Han, Leia, and the gang going trick-or-treating at old man Palpatine’s haunted house. The texture of the facade of the house and the boardwalk are well executed and really give it a creepy worn-down look. The Dark Side is strong in this house.

Happy Halloween!
EB member HJR has recently uploaded several photos of his AT-IC (All Terrain Ion Cannon) on flickr, and they’re well worth a look. According to Wookieepedia, the AT-IC was one of the prototype vehicles designed for Kenner’s 1986 ‘The Epic Continues’ toy line, which failed to reach production. In theory, it was an Imperial design but I think it would have been better if it had been used by the rebels, due to the ‘improvised’ look.
I recall seeing this MOC a while ago, which is very faithful to the original reference material, but the new images show it in greater detail. The cannon and head are both particularly well done.
Lego Admiral on Flickr has been on a roll building several fantastic creations, the most recent being this full scale lightsaber made entirely of Lego parts. I’m liking the use of the tyre towards the bottom, and I can only imagine how cool it would be to swing this build around!
EB member CCOOK has just published some photos of his latest MOC, a system-scale TIE Bomber, which looks suitably efficient! This is my favourite of all the TIE family and it’s most recognised from Episode V, where it’s used to try to flush out the Millennium Falcon that has sought refuge in an asteroid field. It’s in a different league to the only official version (4479) which is long overdue for an upgrade. All it needs is an asteroid backdrop and an inconceivably large space worm, and it would be perfect! Head over to the Star Wars forum and take a look at the other photos of this great MOC.
Baronsat has created some great SW MOCs and I’ve always been particularly fond of his Tatooine-inspired designs, which include a wide array of buildings and even a cute Bantha! Continuing with this theme Baronsat has constructed this impressive extension to the current Jabba’s Palace (9516). The design is very well executed and blends a new Rancor Pit, torture room and troph room seamlessly with the official set. You can see the full details of it here.
In this incredible diorama, Markus19840420 has captured the Episode VI Sarlacc scene perfectly. With the sand landscaping, sail barge, desert skiffs, and Sarlacc itself, it’s hard for me to decide which parts I like best. But there’s nothing more menacing than those rows of teeth and tentacles ready to engulf its next meal. I highly recommend checking out all of the details that went into this build on Marcus’ photostream and the new EB thread.
New Eurobricks member dsoffers has just posted some photos of his new MOC, which is a reduced-scale replica of the Death Star’s Docking Bay 327. Although it’s not as large as some of the other designs that have been constructed for the UCS Falcon, it’s ideally sized for the current system-scale 7965. I particularly like the design of the rear wall and the measured use of LEDs. I’m not sure about the Droidekas though, but perhaps they’ll appear in one of the future Special Editions of Episode IV! Head over to the Star Wars forum and have a look at the other photos of it.
Eurobricks member trooper 278 has recently posted several images of his new MOC, a Acclamator class assault ship. It isn’t a model that I’m familiar with, but it clearly shares its basic DNA with the more well known Venator Class Star Destroyer. At over 100cm long and 60cm wide it’s an impressive size, and the shape is a good interpretation of the limited, and inconsistent, source material. The MOC includes some very nice details; in particular the engines and bridge are both very well executed. Head over to the Star Wars forum to see the other images of it.
