Posted January 14, 201312 yr The Galactic Communication Tower is a building designed during the Galactic Republic era aiming to provide high-class long-range communication to the administration and military alike. Galactic Communication Tower on Endor by Veynom, on Flickr Galactic Communication Tower by Veynom, on Flickr Rumors say that the Galactic Communication Tower design later inspired some engineers of the Galactic Empire to build giants shield projectors. Tower close-up by Veynom, on Flickr For this MOC, I really wanted to use the huge parabolic plates to create an antenna instead of an UFO.

Special thanks to Onasha for the picture editing.
January 14, 201312 yr Great work :thumbup: I really like how you made the main dish In a Battle of Endor Diorama would be certainly a great addition too.
January 14, 201312 yr Looks great! I already knew the idea for the sattelite, so the door is my favorite part, I like what you did with those slopes. have you got interior too?

Interior ... well, to be honest ... it is basic for the top floor and inexistent for the rest. I simply lacked for bricks. ;)
January 14, 201312 yr I really like the symmetry of the tower, espacially with all it's geometric protrusions. That antenna looks especially powerful too. I'd bet they could get the Clone Wars episodes before anyone else in the galaxy.

January 14, 201312 yr To be brutally honest, I wouldn't have spotted that that was the door if you hadn't mentioned it. By being the same shade of grey it just vanishes against the rest of the building. The exterior is very nice though (and unless I'm mistaken, the dish is made from the exterior shell of the original Millenium Falcon, yes?).

The exterior is very nice though (and unless I'm mistaken, the dish is made from the exterior shell of the original Millenium Falcon, yes?). To be equally honest, I also feel that something is slightly wrong with the door color. You are right about the dish, these come from the original Falcon. Nicely spotted. And this is why they fith so nicely in the theme.
