I built this for the Shadows of Nar Eurbrikka forum, but I wanted to share it here as well.  I was inspired by the scene from RoTJ where the Emperor's shuttle is approaching the Death Star hangar bay.

See below for a discussion of WIP, planning and behind the scenes shots (copied from the SoNE post).

The first thing I built was the microscale version of the Assault Shuttle that was first introduced in SoNE Episode XVI.

Next, I built the microscale hanger for the ship to dock in, shown here with a minifig for scale:

Finally, I decided to try and build a large section of trench to show the approach to the hanger.  I wanted to do something similar to the shot from RoTJ, when the Emperor's Shuttle is approaching the hanger.

I built a tiny version of the hanger, then built a quick mockup to get an idea of how high and wide the trench would need to be:

The tiny hangers are lit with power function lights:

The only editing I had to do for the main approach sequence was removal of the spaceship supports and a little lightening of the engine areas:

I can't help imaging the movie scene with your fun MoC series, just made a gif for you.

And you do inspire me to apply this size-change series on my recent MoC of republic gunship.
