Celebrate Revenge of the Fifth with this gigantic Star Wars diorama by Sergio Jaensson, depicting the arrival of Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

I always had the ambition to make a model worthy of the iconic designs from the Star Wars saga. I don't know how I ended up building an AT-ST some months ago, but it might have something to do with my semi-adoration of marshal banana's and Brickdoctor's masterpieces. I hope this MOC is a worthy tribute. This model is built entirely in Lego Digital Designer, and that has had its consequences. Firstly, I couldn't use illegal (or just complex) connections, which resulted in some strange decisions (I still think tiles would have been better for eyelids, but that couldn't be done for this reason). The second consequence is even more important: I couldn't test the stability of the creation. So I could have spent a lot of time thinking this or that connection would be stronger, but unfortunately I couldn't experiment. Therefor, I stopped trying to make it super stable and concentrated on different aspects. This doesn't mean I took care to avoid the connections that are obviously weak, but I can give no guarantees whatsoever the model will hold (I give it 10% max). I used that time to focus on detail and realism. I tried to follow the original model as accurately as I deemed possible, and took care to avoid studs and axle holes to give it a more realistic look. I guess this is the most studless AT-ST MOC ever made... Also, I tried to include the same amount of points of articulation as in the original model, except in the feet, that certainly wouldn't allow a freedom under such load. Finally, I didn't build this model with Bricklink's catalog next to me, giving me a lot of freedom. The result is that not all parts of this model are available though. I'm sorry that it will remain a digital model. My real objective was to make something like "the ultimate AT-ST MOC". Now I realise there is no such creation, but every creation has its flaws and its strengths. I hope you can still appreciate it. ____________ I spent a lot of time just to get the curved section at the front of the legs. I got the shape right, but the Technic holes aren't pretty. Still, this was the best thing I could come up with. Same goes for the feet: very tricky. The original model has a nice curved shape, and the only part that can match it has to be one of the cockpit pieces. That one had impossible connection points though, so I stuck to this solution.

My take on Flail's famous mods on the 2004 version of LEGO's Millennium Falcon. The goal was to be as accurate to Flail's mods as possible (as seen here), while still making adjustments of my own where I saw fit (most notably in the rear engine and front mandibles). Much of the solutions here were figured out by also looking at Firespray and Iain's mods of the ship, as well as various other mods and MOCs. You can download the LDD version of the model here. ---------------------------------------------

This exceptional model of the V-19 Torrent starfighter by Thomas Jenkins really stands out.

Beautiful work!!!

Took some pics of this while in Sydney last week not the best lighting and hard to get angles.
