Big Cam Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I've been reading this thread and following it for months. I am really imprseed and commend you on the progress. It's truley massive! Quote
Commander_Rob Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Impressive. Most impressive. I think this is something every Lego Star Wars builder wants to have, I mean we have all been building (or trying to build) a huge base for our troops, haven`t we? And this has got all the aspects included: sleeping quarters, dining hall, defensive and energy systems and even lavatories (if that is what is located to the left of the dining hall). Have you, by the way, considered including one or more guard towers, to mount searchlights for example? I also like all the smaller aspects, those doors, the medical droid (and I think the concept of a scary doctor keeping away those not actually ill might work too) and the lift to board the AT-ST. Getting into pretty much any walker is hard without additional equipment. Quote
starwarsfanatic Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Amazing work! I'd never be able to make a base like that! I like the way you've got loose parts around to give it the effect of a base under construction, or is that just the parts you haven't got around to putting in place yet? Put some imperials in next photoshoot unless you finish it and it will look fantastic. Quote
sigpro Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the comments!! BigCam, indeed, it is massive. 1,6 x 1,6 metres is enormous. And heavy. Lifting it, even with the system I built is difficult because the room is not as big as I would like. Thanks for following the topic so long -months and months-. Commander, you are right. This is a dream that I had in the summer of 2008. And I began with it in autumn of that year. I tried to make something ""real"". I mean, If you build barracks, the soldiers must have beds, showers, restrooms, etc. A "hospital" with a medical droid -yes, the idea is to keep pretending soldiers away from the hospital-. You say about building a guard tower. There will be a big control tower -like in an airport- in the center of the base, on the bunker (copy of the set 8038), which holds the 8 orange deflector shield reactor. About lights...there will be lights. If you look carefully at the center-left of the pic, you will find a series of yellow bars. There will be one of the landing pads for the dropships -medical dropships-. That landing pad will have 4 light towers to make landings easier. Starwarsfanatic, the parts I left are not parts for the immediate construction...it´s just I was too tired to take so many parts and boxes away to make the picture...but some stormtroopers -or snowtroopers- in the pic with some tools would be a good idea. And now, some of the future "inhabitants" of my base -only snowtroopers, AT-ST drivers, dropship drivers and other enlisted personnel or droids are not here-. If there is any rebel, pirate or enemy of the Empire, I suggest you should not attack this base!!!!!!!! Enjoy. Edited September 30, 2009 by sigpro Quote
sigpro Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 New pic. The bunker holding the shield generator is very advanced in its construction. It will also hold a control tower. As you can imagine, the tower must be increased in height and the external appearance will be different -dark bluish gray bricks-. Other important subject. As this bunker is in the middle of the base, and the base will be torn to pieces as I move to another house...I had to build a floor for the bunker. In a future...I will be able to fix the base again to show it to you. I have also begun the construction of the second floor of the snowtroopers´barracks. I hope you like it!! Enjoy! Quote
CommanderFox Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Looking AMAZING sigpro It's so Huge! Looking forward to more pics CommanderFox Quote
sigpro Posted October 28, 2009 Author Posted October 28, 2009 Where did you get the fence peices? If you mean the outer fence, in black, I used 12-stud axles but there are parts that would fit better, for example: I suppose you were asking about that. Regards! Quote

grahamh_100 Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Wow... you've certainly inspired me as the recent Hoth sets have tempted me to build a proper base... Quote
Big Cam Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Great update, this is going to be the most massive base i think I've ever seen. That is one impressive amount of snowtroopers too! Quote
sigpro Posted November 15, 2009 Author Posted November 15, 2009 Hi again and thanks for the comments. I am to move to a new house, where I won´t be able to have the base always assembled. But the base is modular, so I can assemble and disassemble it very quickly -or that´s what I hope-. Anyway, I have upgraded many buildings in the base. One of them was the energy generators building. It has been enlarged to fit UNDER the bunker where the shield generators are. So it is a higher building, which makes easier the construction of a command tower. Here are the pics. There will be an elevator that will communicate both floors of the building. The generators have also been modified, as so many trans-light bars made it look as something "not serious". The "hospital" has been modified too. It fits in a 48x48 baseplate and it is wider than the previous one. The operations room is larger, the doctor´s room is larger also, as it is the patient´s room -where the very ill or injured patients receive medial treatment- Sorry for the mess in the hospital, but the workers did not clean the facilities for this report!!! I hope you like it. When I have finished the move, I will remodifie more buildings. Enjoy!!!!! Quote
Commander_Rob Posted November 15, 2009 Posted November 15, 2009 Some more cool stuff here, I like the extended Endor bunker, that building has great potential. Control tower is cool too. Quote
sigpro Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 More updates in my base. The building that holds the reactors has been updated inside. Check it and enjoy!! You may check it!!! Quote
the Inventor Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 I really like your base, its huge. You have made a great reactor in that last building. the Inventor Quote
Ratshot Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 This is incredible, really it is. I agree 100% with the Inventor, the reactor is great. Good Luck with the rest of you base. Quote
commdr_neyo Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 Holy crap! It's gonna be just stunning! Very great job Quote
sigpro Posted February 4, 2010 Author Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) Hi. After many travels abroad and holidays, I bring you a new update. I have focused on the bunker. This bunker, as you know, holds the energy reactors, the shield reactors, the shield projector and a control tower. The control tower has a single operator -an officer- and a security droid. From this control tower he is to check the routes of incoming dropships, security systems -well, there is another control room but I wanted to have two control areas-. The way to go from the lower level -the reactors- to the upper ones is a small elevator. It is not finished yet!!!! Ok, no more chat, have pics!!! New ideas are welcomed! Edited February 4, 2010 by sigpro Quote
Minxter Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 I just love your base its so huge and so fantastic You really should buy the new Bp:s with snowtroopers. Keep up the good work! Quote
fenris Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 i love those big-scale projects! still, you really build a lot of details... can't wait to see the finished based. as i kid i could look at pictures like that for hours always discovering something new... Quote
CommanderFox Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 The new updates are looking Great so far sigpro Cant wait to see more! CommanderFox Quote
sigpro Posted February 11, 2010 Author Posted February 11, 2010 More updates, for the Command Building A general view of the building, you can see the big communications antenna. - General view of the upper floor You can see: a big control room, with many operators, 2 security droids, 1 R5-D4 and a protocol droid. Commandant´s deskroom and his room -see the white tiles, they are his sheets-. 3 small bedrooms for officers -2 beds per room-. A small bathroom with shower, basin and 2 WC. - A close-up on the control room. - Commandant´s deskroom, with his table, 2 strong boxes and a computer. - Pasamos a la planta inferior.
