Posted August 17, 20159 yr This is my entry for the semifinals of the Imperium der Steine MOC Olympics. The theme for this round was to build a minor scene, something in between the big scenes. I chose to build Dex's Diner from Episode II, where Obi-Wan goes to get information on the toxic dart from his friend Dex. Dex's Diner by Cecilie Fritzvold, on Flickr Dex's Diner by Cecilie Fritzvold, on Flickr I almost missed the deadline on this one, because I had an accident with the MOC 4 hours before the deadline as I was bringing it downstairs for photography, and I dropped it and it shattered quite badly. Luckily I was able to put it back together in time.
August 17, 20159 yr Amazing scene! That first shot really shows off the entire build. The sweeping bar is just beautiful, as are the details peppered around it. The waitress droid looks very good, as do the other patrons. One gripe I have with this is size. The diner looks a bit on the big side overall. The movie made it look like a small, grimy place, but the small aspect isn't coming through perfectly. Mini figs are probably a big source of the issue, as they're disproportionate sizes mess things up. The bar and back wall would need to be moved forward a bit, or maybe even the bar made smaller. I completely understand the challenge, however, and commend you for this build overall, and yoir quick repair job. Overall, another great scene, and the best of luck.
August 17, 20159 yr Very nice. Great pic for the first shot, too! And I also agree that the waitress droid is very well captured. Well done!
August 17, 20159 yr This is awesome, it's something I always hoped to create after I acquired Pong Krell. I really love the construction of the bar.

Minifig-scale is quite hard to work with, and it was also a case of it being hard to make the bar any smaller with the limitations of the brick, and still wanting to keep the level of detail I wanted. This is awesome, it's something I always hoped to create after I acquired Pong Krell. I really love the construction of the bar. I haven't followed the Clone Wars, so I didn't even know about the Pong Krell minifig until a friend pointed it out to me .

August 19, 20159 yr This is a really great MOC. Really has the shine of Coruscant with all the tiling SNOT.
August 20, 20159 yr I never really liked this scene, I preferred the deleted one of him finding out in the temple. But I do like your build of it, it's cleaner and easier to see what's going on than the films version.
