Jayoheazy Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 After getting the itch I purchased another set (sans minifigs) to continue with my Takodana build. This MOC is currently using 3 full sets and 1/2 of a 4th. I also decided to incorporate a few non-75139 pieces but nothing major except for the stairs. I also plan on continuing to build the cantina once the parts come in. I guess you can call this a WIP. Hope you enjoy! 1 x full set = $50 3 x parts sets = $65 2 x large base plates = $16 Misc pieces = free Quote
Lawngnome Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 That's... surprisingly accurate with "only" spare sets used, considering how limited the official set is. Nice work! Quote
PickleManDan Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Wow. This is so amazing. This has got to be the best Takodana MOC Iv'e seen. Quote
MrHerofan Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Yeah definitely amazing, only thing I'd do differently is add more green for the Kylo and Rey scene. Like this is what the set should have been more like. This doc has all the moments in it that it's impressive. Again great job man! Quote
falderal Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Oh wow, this is great. If I'm lucky enough to come across a bunch of this set at clearance I would now buy 4 of them to make something like this. Really fantastic job. Quote
Markalus Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Nice work. Now this is getting interesting! It's amazing how much better the official set could of been, instead of a token vignette to sell the minifigs. The plus side is that so many people are buying it just for the minifigs and selling off the set. I just picked up another set minus minifigs to do a similar thing. I'll be using Jabba's palace too and some parts from Duel on Geonosis. Have you considered adding a Maz Kanata statue? Quote
xboxtravis7992 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 The front looks great, all it needs is a Maz Statue to finish it off. The back could use the addition of a Cantina before reaching the storage room. Maybe a few more flags of different colors could be hung above the door to avoid the drabness of only using the bacon flag. Other than that; this is coming along great! Can't wait to see the next update. Quote
Junior Shark Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Oh my. :wub: This.... there are no words! I can only add to xboxtravis on his suggestion to add some other colored flags. Great model! It makes me happy that it's just a WIP, and we have future updates to look forward to! Edited January 25, 2016 by Junior Shark Quote
Tariq j Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Very good work I like the mini lake you've made. Quote
Cyanide-Tipped Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I'm with the others...Maz statue please! Very nice WIP. Quote
Jayoheazy Posted January 25, 2016 Author Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks everyone! It's becoming more and more pricey each week but I enjoy working on it. I'll need to find more flags somewhere. Maybe use some capes from the superhero line. Thanks for the advice :) Quote
benderisgreat Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Wow great job on this moc! 3,5 Takodana sets make great moc Maz Kanata's castle, the only part your moc is missing is a bar. But other than that it's awesome! I especially like how you pulled off front entrance and dungeon scene from the movie. Quote
jdm44 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Now that you broke your OCD rule you don't have any excuses for not having a Maz statue. I think you have to make one now. It'll be hard for that scale but I think it's doable. Awesome moc either way. Edited January 26, 2016 by jdm44 Quote
Richpepperell Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I'm in the middle of something like this - the gargoyle form the Monsters CMF is the basis of my Maz statue! Quote
Jayoheazy Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 I'm in the middle of something like this - the gargoyle form the Monsters CMF is the basis of my Maz statue! That's actually what I'm searching for now. The problem is most of the US sellers on BL don't have some of the other parts I'm looking for. I'd hate to order the fig and pay shipping just for that alone :/ Quote
eunchong84 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Right after I found this, I bought 2 more set of parts to replicate your version. Since I have total 3 sets, I will skip the dungeon part. I an highly anticipating the final version!! Keep up the good work!! Edited February 25, 2016 by eunchong84 Quote
Forresto Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Really excellent, the courtyard looks spot on! Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Oh many it looks SO good! Very accurate but yet still playable, cool! Quote
Ellisss_ Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Nice MOC dude! I would love to see a scale version. Quote
