Posted February 21, 20178 yr Many people have complained about the Duel on Naboo set, as it looked unfinished and some parts didn't look good. The plasma purification chamber was way too tiny The catapult was not attached to the main build One wall looked kinda weird The laser gate should be solid and not bars Should be larger and at higher price point for more impressive model So I created a 284-piece MOC that, if sold as a set, would probably be around $30. The reason I did not go to Final Duel-size was because there were only 3 characters in that scene, and large sets rarely have so few minifigures (aside from TLBM's Batwing…) Here it is: The plasma purification chamber is much bigger now, the laser gates are solid and swing open on hinges, and there is a catapult that is attached to the main build with Technic pins. The reactor shaft is also slightly larger (from 6x6 to 8x8). Comments & Criticism & Questions all welcome! VaderFan2187
February 21, 20178 yr I like the fact you've designed it with the idea of it being sold as a set! With this in mind my only suggestion is the 2nd platform (where Qui-gon dies) should be a little larger to allow for dueling. Great MOC otherwise, definitely better than TLGs version!
February 22, 20178 yr Wow, much better than the original. Is there a switch to open and close the laser beams or is it just manual?

The laser gates are just manual. I was too lazy to build a more advanced mechanism The problem is the size of this MOC makes me not like 75169 anymore, but I do need to get that set for the figures… I guess I can only blame myself
February 22, 20178 yr Hello, VaderFan! This is much better, I love the plasma chamber! However, I wonder if it would be better if the abyss that Darth Maul falls down would be better as a half for playability. Also maybe redesign it using hinge bricks, there is something that I despise about those curved bricks. Kind regards, Ellis.

When Carbon Freezing Chamber was only a half people complained!

You mean use hinges sideways to create a curved shape? I don't really understand, sorry On 2/21/2017 at 10:10 PM, jamiejme said: I like the fact you've designed it with the idea of it being sold as a set!

Sorry about the late reply, but thanks @jamiejme!
February 22, 20178 yr Dude, this is so much better than the official set. The only addition I could advise would be to maybe add another laser barrier (or whatever), it looks like it would fit.
February 22, 20178 yr Pretty nice! I like the solid barriers!! I feel like the only thing that could be added would be maybe a little bit more detail on the platform over the abyss it just looks a little to black. Other than that I like it! The real question is does it come with snarling Maul?
