The update is awesome! I love all the little details like those round skid plates on the ceiling

It looks stunning.

will you be including the ice cream maker guy in it?

Excellent stuff Kaitan ! Great detail, size and accuracy! And I like that you only seems to be using new white pieces to avoid that "yellowish" look. I´ll stay tuned on your progress for sure !

Truth is, I ONLY have NEW white pieces :) I only started back into Lego at the start of the year and, bar one or two sets that I saved, most of my childhood/old lego went to charity. :(

It powers the light in the sculpture in the centre of the crossroads type bit.

Great work Kaitan! You've totally captured the cool, clinical feel of Cloud City. I really like your simple yet effective 'fountain' centre piece and your plate-built walls work really, really well - I guess make it much easier to shift and get your camera in there. Love your custom fleshie Lobot too

I'd also considered building a Cloud City diorama but haven't had the full-on motivation to do it - you've certainly set a bar for anyone who tries!

Well, my starting motivation was - " I've built hoth, and the Tantive IV, what other white star wars setting can I do?" Of course, I've brought a few more white bricks to get this far :) Who knows whats next?

Thanks again to everyone, and thanks to KimT for putting me on the front page - I feel very humble :))

Wow, awesome work Kaitan...very arty photos. You've really captured the feel of the movie (my personal favourite out of all the Star Wars movies). And so much white...it gleams...

beautiful! and i suppose when finished it will be amazing!

wow the updated pictures look awesome! I really like the birds eye view shot of the whole thing cause it really shows of the craftsmanship gone into it. I love your lobot fleshie he looks great (I would love an official one next year). I love your ugnaughts and I agree about the clone trooper faces being good ugnaught heads .

You have made an awesome moc Kaitan!

Also, what does the power functions thing do?

Realy love this. I'm hoping you will include a platform for the Slave I, or even the Carbon Freezing Chamber.

I'm not sure why you used to C-3PO's in one MOC, but this is really great!

Two. There's a W right in the middle of the word. Wouldn't you use two too?

  Kaitan said:

I got the decals from Kam's site, www.fineclonier.com - fantastic decals!

So are they 'Water-slide' Decals, or 'Peel-N-Stick' Decals?

And exactly who is that?

he already said they power the light in the sculpture shown in the 'intersection' of hallways.

Watch ESB, during the cloud city evacuation, you can see him run past carrying the white tube. what he is carrying is actually an ice cream maker.

Thanks, glad you like it!

Nope, no plans for a Slave I platform, mainly because I don't own a Slave I set and don't really have any motivation to Moc one. The Carbon freezing chamber has been done so many times before, loads of them much better than I feel I could do. I'm trying to do parts of the set that haven't been done a gazillion times already.

They are water slide decals, not Peel n stick decals (Peal n stick, that rings a bell! ) As far as I'm aware, Kam only sells water slide decals, although I suppose you could print the decals onto sticky labels if you wanted to.

Awesome! What a good comic you could make with this. I look forward to see the expanded/finished model!

Very, very nice!

Hope to see more ?work in progress? soon!

Good catch, also I noticed the first pic is a regular C-3PO then the next shots are a chrome one

Ah, I understand. MOCing a Slave I would be hard, as the latest official version was really good.

So what other thing would you be adding to the MOC? The dining room with Vader? You could use the video game for reference for that room...

I might have to buy some of his decals then. Peal? I don't know what your talking about... (See below quote)

The list of things to add is in the first post. I'll just carry on doing my own thing using the screencaps from the film, I prefer to work out builds myself rather than attempt to copy the game.

I knew I forgot to read something.

I didn't mean copy the game, but use it to get the general format of the room. What you are doing is working great, though, so nevermind.

That is so cool

This is a brilliant moc. The best cloud city i have ever seen. Good colours. The minifigs are good and the detail is brilliant. 10/10
