Starter MOC, The bunker on Endor

[sci-fi]

Ok so this evening I sat down with the intention of creating something that utilised all the tile style bricks that i own and to make working blast doors.

Needless to say I thought the Bunker from Endor would be a good place to start.

After I had built it, I thought it would be good for this, so added some minifigs.

Sadly, I didnt have enough of the dark grey bricks/tyles so had to use black and only have the Han Solo after he had been freed from carbonite.

Give me your thoughts on anything that you see fit

cheers

Wait- where'd you get Endor Leia from without getting Han? I'm 99% sure she doesn't come as a magnet.

Anyways, it looks like you've done well with what pieces you have. I would change the sides to slope instead of straight up, though.

If you're considering buying a set, I'd definitely get the set version; it'll build your collection and give you the figs you need to improve this dio.

Hmm, that's quite an interesting take on the Endor bunker sci-fi, not bad considering you made this with only your available parts (I assume). But I agree with Doc, if you really want to build the Endor bunker it's best to just get the official set and expand that. But if your intention was just to practice your MOCing skills, then I'd say you did a pretty decent job on that.

The bunker set is like a base model, it's a great set, but needs some work. It's a great oppurtunity for a MOD to be done, containing the right details, good job!

Its a nice start sci-fi!

The interrior needs work, a tiled floor ect.

Looking good and promising though! Im looking forward to updates!

Thanks for all the comments much appreciated,

Answers to a few of the questions

I got the princess off of Ebay, hence having that figure and not Han

Although I will probably end up buying the Endor set, I like to try to build structures by looking at them and borrowing ideas, then creating

Since reading the comments I have spent today taking apart and rebuilding a more superior bunker.

I took on the comment about putting tiles down on the floor, but due to limited numbers of each colour..it doesnt look like a piece of art.

I also made it bigger etc..

Tiles make the inside much better, and your blast door design looks sweet. Can't say I'm a fan of the straight 90-degree walls, though.

yeh true the walls could use a further rework, something for me to look into,
