ACPin Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Done almost ten years ago and finally gotten around to rebuilding it with a bigger layout and will make its public debut in the next event... AC Old MOC done October 2007 Fambaas Falumpaset Whizbooma Quote
Ellisss_2 Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 Awesome, you have done a great job, I love the Fambaas! Quote

ACPin Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 The planned layout will be 8x4 = 32 old green 32x32 baseplates footprint. Here's the center section using the 1x2 curved slopes for additional texture of the undulating grass plains. Battle droid unit shown for scale and four more sections (2x3) to build. AC Quote
Khaled Yousef Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 I can't wait to see the finished MOC, you're the master of these epic scenes. Love the Fambaas and Gungan catapults, are you going to make a new design for the MTT too? Quote

Khaled Yousef Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Whatever MODs you’ll do to the MTTs I’m sure it would be great. I’ve always been fascinated by your dioramas since I first saw them in 2007… WOW, that’s ten years ago! Keep up the great work. Quote
VaderFan2187 Posted March 15, 2017 Posted March 15, 2017 Shapin' up to be awesome! Looks great @ACPin Quote
roadstermatt Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 i'm not a fan of the prequels but this lay out look epic Quote

CaptainJackBrickster Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Such a cool obscure scene nobody seems to do. I for one am a huge fan of the prequels so you get a thumbs up from me! Quote

ACPin Posted March 18, 2017 Author Posted March 18, 2017 Now working on the Trade Federation side starting with the Droidekas (android head by BrickWarriors). AC Quote
roadstermatt Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) that droidekas looks bad a#s nice work Edited March 20, 2017 by roadstermatt Quote
ACPin Posted March 22, 2017 Author Posted March 22, 2017 Twelve old green regular 32x32 baseplates with MTT and AAT shown for scale which leaves plenty of room for the battle droid units in front, droid carriers, droidekas around. Multiply that by two for the whole Trade Federation invasion force. AC Quote
FishW Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Mesa like! in all seriousness awesome builds, I can't believe I didn't see this when you first posted it. Agreed the way you did the shields is interesting, considering you could've left them with nothing which is what the sets have done so far. I like all the gungans gear! Nice work!! Quote
Kristof Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Not much to this diorama except the size, or is there? I am big fan of prequels and I am happy that someone still focuses on these great scenes, but besides several lego sets, I only see two actual builds of these Fambasses and the other gungan creature, which are honestly quite blocky. The terrain looks somewhat weird with these regularly placed and oriented 'curved slope ridges' between green baseplates and on the last pic with AATs. All in all, I don't really see any proper lego craft done here, compared to your other work :) Maybe it's intended to be done fast... still I think you can do much better than this. Quote
jamiejme Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I agree woth Kris. Although I love the concept and have always wanted to try it myself, I think there is room for improvement. No such 'grass ripples' are seen in the movie, however, I would incorporate the hill that the droid army appeared over. This shouldnt be too hard and it would really add to the scene. Also, may i suggest different AATs, the old LEGO set looks very dated and could do with a replacement, MOC/MOD or even the 2014 version. I look forward to seeing your progress. Quote

Thanks but no thanks as I've already got this all planned out. If you're not happy with it, please do your own version. AC Quote
Kristof Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 ^ Fair :) In the and, most important for you is whether you are happy with it. Unfortunately I don't have time nor funds to build such big dioramas, maybe one day. Quote

Unfortunately I don't have time nor funds to build such big dioramas, maybe one day. The large scale dioramas are most often built in smaller sections that can be merged later on. The same build process is being done for this one as this will be displayed at an event next month. Hopefully if time/resources permits, more refinements/details that I've considered will be included. But for now, the planned overall layout has been finalized to ensure that it will be ready.
