davisdude Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Greetings, Eurobricks community! Been a big fan of the Eurobricks forums and this my first MOC submission! Without further ado... "South" Side The pyramid represents a few memorable scenes from the original saga of Star Wars (sorry, Force Awakens). On the front side we have the Death Star, Hoth, and finally the climatic battle in the Emperor's Throne Room. "East" Side Facing the "east" is the Phantom Menace duel along with Luke's training on Dagobah. A familiar character seems to have turned a blind eye to the Jedi plight! "North" Side This side is primarily taken up by the Geonosis arena battle from Attack of the Clones (non-canon S.T.A.P. notwithstanding). On the middle tier is the Endor bunker "West" Side Finally, we have Tatooine and the carbon freezing chamber. Top view Each of the four lower tier corners is framed by a cylindrical-type object. Details "Bring it on! I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around..." Jedi battle on Naboo... maybe the Jedi Council should have sent more than two! Count Dooku keeps an eye on the arena. (Sorry about the focus on this one!) Anakin and Jedi Bob storm in! "Message? What message?" It seems like the Rebels may have a fair fight here for once... Chewie is weaning an Ewok from bones to a more cookie-friendly diet. Looks like IG-88 might get that bounty after all. Father versus son in Return of Jedi. This top tier had the least amount of space to work with. The TIE windshield is a homage to the "Final Duel" Lego set. Summary Thanks for viewing! I haven't tried many MOCs since my childhood but this is one that I really enjoyed. The biggest challenge was deciding which scenes made the cut! Upon finishing, I found that the pyramid nicely reflected the "yellow age" of Star Wars sets - Revenge of the Sith would introduce the flesh-tone minifigures. I've left the link to my Flickr account, which has more photos of the pyramid for those interested. Thanks again! https://www.flickr.com/photos/151427958@N06/with/32426654972/ Quote
Fuppylodders Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 I really like it! And strangely, I like the fact you've used mostly old minifigure too (if not all?) you've managed to represent a lot of scenes in a small space really well, and with just the right amount of details. Looking forward to seeing more! Quote
xboxtravis7992 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Wow, those old figures bring out a lot of retro nostalgia feel-goods. Especially Jedi Bob! I had that figure, but I lost it somehow. Sort of a Lego classic. Quote
Cottin Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Oh Jedi Bob haha, bringing back memories.. was he a master or a knight? Haha And you can't forget the classic Hoth rebel with red emo hair! Awesome MOC all in all! The two guys above me pretty much took the words from my mouth. I love the retro vibe and you blended those scenes together really well. I don't think there's a single transition from scene to scene that feels forced or too abrupt, it all rolls together real smooth. Well done! I, too, look forward to seeing more in the future. Cheers!

Ellisss_2 Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 Such a unique interesting idea, I love it! Old minifigures are the best in my opinion. You have captured the scenes simply, but perfectly. Quote
Tariq j Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 As others have said, the old figures look fantastic and gives a nostalgic feel to the build Quote
That Orange Thing Posted January 29, 2017 Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Welcome to eurobricks! It's hard to believe that someone with a collection of retro minifigs that good has only just joined the site. Like all have said before it's great seeing all those excellent old school figs all presented in a fabulous moc. Congrats. Edited January 29, 2017 by That Orange Thing Quote
