Flashback: Tantive IV by Kaitan

I come back to an MOC which is undoubtedly the most successful when it comes to the famous scene of the arrival of Darth Vader and his henchmen on the Tantive IV ou Rebel Blockade Runner, vessel carrying Leia Organa and commanded by Captain Antilles who will suffer the wrath of Vader.

Small precision precisely at the level of the name of this vessel of which LEGO has used the two names for the two sets released:  10019 UCS Rebel Blockade Runner (2001) et 10198 Tantive IV (2009). It is indeed the same vessel and the nickname of Rebel Blockade Runner comes from its use by Corellian smugglers to break down the imperial blockades .....

This MOC perfectly reproduces the sanitized atmosphere of the ship's corridors when it was taken by Vader. The use of new and still shiny LEGO parts is the key to this type of reflections on the floor of this type of MOC. The pale lighting is also one of the elements that make this scene a perfect recreation of the one in the film.

In the meantime, you can see other photos of this MOC on MOCpages and discover in particular a photo of the complete construction used for these scenes.
