gazumpty Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 This is astounding work....the landscape sculpting of the desert is amazing! great work! Quote
markus1984 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) What can i say there With such an outstanding feedback I never expected! Thanks very much, the joy is huge! My only suggestion is that you remove the second or third row of Sarlacc teeth Yeah, thats right, but i build some teeth more at the diorama because its an moc for a exhibition and so its look more interesting for the people . When are those Star Wars days in Germany? I think its in june2014 - Legoland Günzburg Star Wars Days would you mind taking some pics of the interiors? You can watcht the WIP Thread Awesome work! All the details in it are fantastic! THANKS for blogging the MOC Top job mate, I absolutely love it! How long will this set stay intact? indefinitely? Approximately until July - after the Star Wars days i dismantle it So, Thanks again for watching my MOC and for the great posts! cu markus Edited December 9, 2013 by markus1984 Quote
Robert_88 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Your MOC is simply amazing! Unfortunately I couldn't visit the exhibition in Mondsee :( Quote
KZB Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 that's crazy, I can only imagine how much work took making it Quote
Ephseb Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Absolutely amazing, great work! I really like the Barge's front and the escort ships. Quote
markus1984 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Posted January 1, 2014 Thanks again for your feedback! Your MOC is simply amazing! Unfortunately I couldn't visit the exhibition in Mondsee :( no problem, next year markus Quote
ZeldaTheSwordsman Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I actually found the Flickr gallery of this on a Google image search, and was most impressed. This is an absolutely brilliantly-made diorama. The skiffs and the sail barge are well-detailed and well-mad, and it looks like everybody's there. But that's not the real crown jewel of this setup. No, the most stunning part of it is the desert itself. The amount of time and tan-coloured bricks involved in pulling that off... Magnificent. To see such an extensive brick-built environment is a rare treat. About the only thing lacking is the Sarlacc itself; where's the beak? Quote
Commander Colt Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Incredible set, markus! I like the angles on the barge and definitely enjoy the complete railing alll the way around! Is there an interior to the barge? And I totally enjoying the style of the rolling dunes! Quote
pihlbrick Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 where's the beak? Sarlac didn't have a beak in '83 :) Quote
markus1984 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 Thank`s everybody! where's the beak? philbrick say - and this is right - the originial film doesnt have an beak! Is there an interior to the barge? No, a interior was not possible because the technique for the round building needs many place! markus Quote
ZeldaTheSwordsman Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Thank`s everybody! philbrick say - and this is right - the originial film doesnt have an beak! markus I know that in the original film doesn't have a beak; I watched the 1994 VHS release a lot when growing up. But the thing is? It was supposed to. The Sarlacc in the original film is, put simply, incomplete. The beak falls under the heading of "Things that were always supposed to be there but weren't ready", just like the scene of Han talking with Jabba in Docking Bay 94. Or the combat footage of the B-Wings (to match the shot-but-unused cockpit footage) that remains unmade because they would have to make entirely new CGI models and textures instead of recycling assets made for the prequels.

TheLazyChicken Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 The Sarlacc is amazing. You did an outstanding job representing the scene. Keep up the good work! Quote
kevin8 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Just perfest! Your Jabba Sail Barge is simply stunning. The Sarlacc perfect! Quote
Ki-Adi-Mundi Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Impressive, most impressive! I bow before this masterpiece! Quote
Fives Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Wow, this is sheer genius! Everything looks incredible! Great work! Quote
BimmerBoy Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 This inspired my son and I to build a simple dune/Sarlacc Pit with a bunch of tan bricks we got from the PAB wall at the Lego Store. He has the current Sail Barge and Desert Skiff, but the Sarlacc provided with the skiff was lacking without a proper pit. He now reenacts that scene from the movie quite a bit, and has fun involving non-SW characters as well. We love your scene, it is amazing! Thanks for sharing. Quote
HanShotFirst Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Man, those dunes...I love it, it's perfect. The Sarlaac is spot on. What was the hardest part to build? Edited January 15, 2014 by HanShotFirst Quote

It was supposed to. The Sarlacc in the original film is, put simply, incomplete. The beak falls under the heading of "Things that were always supposed to be there but weren't ready", ok, mhhh, i think the original version is better . The new one looks so futuristic, but this is of course a matter of taste. What was the hardest part to build? phuu, difficult to say. First the dunes and the barge with the rounding parts! And @the others, many thanks again for your postinges! Nice to reed all the great answers. markus Quote
Outworlder Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 wow amazing! the sail barge looks great. How you got the bow and stern too look so round using Lego parts i don't know? Quote
Onos Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 The best recreation. Love it...one of the best scenes in the return of the jedi. Quote
