HJR-Holland Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Dear all, I would like to present you my version of the Starspeeder 3000 from the Star Tours ride at the Disney parks. I made this vehicl for the Lowlug Star wars MOC competition. Star Tours is a ride at virtually all Disneyland parks and is based on Star Wars, where you make a flight through the universe in a flight simulator similar to the ones' professional pilots use. A prototype from Lucasarts: When you walk towards the ride you pass a lifesize model of a Starspeeder 3000, with on it's side quite some damage. I based my MOC on this version: Naturally the side doors open. The speeder has room for 16 travellers: When you take a good look, you can see the driver of the vehicle, RX-24 (aka Rex): What a lot of people do not know, however, is that the vehicle is actually piloted by someone else! Let's take a look... It's George Lucas himself! I also made the background setting of the model in the parks: In the front you can see all the figures included in this MOC: George Lucas, two Star Tours employees, DL-X2 (security), RX-24 ('pilot'), G2-9T (repair droid), C-3PO (coordinator) and R2-D2 (navigation) I made the sticker of the control panel myself. You can see a blueprint of the Starspeeder 3000: A few more images of the background setting: Well, everyone is ready to receive new passengers for the next flight! From left to right: Vilmarh Grahrk (aka 'Villie'), Astraal Vao, Wall-E, EVE, Chewbacca (what a Wookie!), Boba Fett (Just escaped from the Sarlacc pit and now looking for a new ride) and a skieer who seems to be on his way to Hoth More / all photo's are to be found here Feedback is always welcome!

KimT Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Wooooow This is really awesome HJR. You've really nailed the colour scheme and incorporated those blue lines amazingly well. Hat's off blogged Quote
pompommini Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Wooooooooooow! This is a great model with a wonderful colour scheme! I love your WALL-E figure as well! Edited January 16, 2011 by pompommini Quote
Plissken Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I repeat: Wow. What a great MOC. The features, the overall look, the hangar,... . I'm stunned. Or in other words: A great choice for a MOC you've made. Very unique it feels Quote
Flare Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Incredible, the build is just INCREDIBLE. The scene is very impressive as well. Quote
Solscud007 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 at first I thought wow what a great MOC ship. Then I saw the awesome scene around the ship!!! Just like the ride. Quote
Wout Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) A very nice moc Hjr. I love the line of new passengers and I laughed about Georgie who still wants control everything called Star Wars. RX-24: "But Sir, I am the driver of this speeder!" George Lucas: "Shut your mouth! I invented Star Wars, so I drive this beauty!" edit: Changed dubblepost Edited January 16, 2011 by Wout Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 AWESOME shuttle 'HJR', excellent detailing and doors that drop down - acting then like entrance ramps too ! And surprise who is in the pilot's seat......George himself ! Fantastic work 'HJR' and may the brick be with you ! Quote
Ceroknight Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Really well done. I always wanted to ride this Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Amazing, wow! Extremely accurate design, from the overall shape to the small details and even the opening doors. Impressive work as always HJR! Quote
Masked Builder Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I've only seen a few of these recreated in Lego this is among the better ones. And amazing use of those stickers! Quote
Praiter Yed Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Seeing this just fills me with regret, I went to Disneyland Paris last year and the kids refused to go on with me. Of course, I'm an adult so I'm not going to go on on my own - I had my chance and I blew it ! Maybe I should be more strict with the kids? I've never seen an MOC of this before and I think this one is great. The interior, the exterior, the background and the figures, it's all good stuff and good fun too. Quote
Nightshroud99 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I love that ship; have the toy version. Wish there was a LEGO one though. Especially with LEGO's partnership with Disney and Lucsfilms... But thats an Outstanding MOC! You nailed it, but it looks rtaher complicated to build. Quote
Solitary Dark Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 What a beauty, I feel like I'm standing in line at WDW. Well done... Quote
Elander Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 That is amazing! What a fantastic MOC. Including with very beauty details (likewise the waiting zone with C-3PO and R2D2) and your very good technic style is the Star Tours Starspeeder very realistic. Quote

purpleparadox Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I looked at the first post in this topic before I checked the latest reply. THEN I saw your MOC. Then I hoped the latest reply was a bump for CUUSOO, and hurrah! It is! I love this. It's absolutely fantastic! So many great details, and it looks just like the real thing. I like the blue stripes. I hope everyone else loves it as much as I do, because I want to own this! Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I just made it 14 supports, now this model would fit the Cuusoo world perfectly ! Quote
Im a brickmaster. Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 That is a extremely well done MOC, great job! I had the chance to go on the ride at Florida this spring, and I must say you have captured a lot of detail. Quote
Mr Man Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Though I don't want it (no reflection on your MOC, just on my taste), I will support it . Quote
jasbury Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Awesome! You totally nailed the whole build! Very accurate to the original down to the stripes, cocpit, and decals! Quote
K-Nut Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 This is a great MOC! I love how accurate it is with all the doors, design, and interior. A stunning MOC. Supported! Quote
