Stark Industries Armory [Iron Man Hall of Armor] by becauseBATMAN

The MOC of the day is without any possible dispute that of becauseBATMAN which unveils the new version of its incredible Hall of Armor.

The set is not only impressive by its presentation but it is also populated with many custom minifigs representing a host of armor carefully reproduced by MOCeur.

The photos of this MOC are visible in the dedicated topic on the Eurobricks forum, but I took the liberty of offering you a small gallery here to simplify your discovery of this meticulous work accomplished by this enthusiast.

LEGO Jedi Defender-Class Cruiser by khatmorg

While the official set 75025 Jedi Defender-Class Cruiser should soon arrive on the shelves of our favorite stores (It will undoubtedly be a LEGO Shop / Toys R Us exclusive), khatmorg presents its version whose design was initiated before the appearance of the first images of the LEGO set.

The MOCeur also indicates that it stopped working on its MOC when we learned that LEGO was preparing a set based on this ship from the universe of the Star Wars: The Old Republic video game. Disappointed with the end result seen on recently published images, he undertook to finalize his MOC to obtain this result.

Everyone will have an opinion on the model they prefer between the official version and this very successful MOC. As far as I'm concerned, I have a preference for the Khatmorg MOC reactors which I find more compact and more detailed.

Spin on his flickr gallery to discover many other views of this vessel, including shots of the interior.

Micro Star Wars - Dagobah by 2 Much Caffeine

We no longer present Rod Gillies, alias 2 Much Caffeine (See these articles), Talented MOCer and appreciated writer who offers us a new very successful micro-MOC with this scene of the X-Wing sinking into the marshy waters of Dagobah.
Once again, the MOCeur shows great ingenuity and gives a few pieces a very special dimension in this miniature context.

To see more and discover his other creations on the same scale, go to the dedicated album from his flickr gallery.

These MOCs are also subject to Cuusoo project.

LEGO Kenner Mos Eisley Cantina prototype by BaronSat

This is not the first time that Eric Druon, alias BaronSat for close friends, has reproduced in LEGO an old set from the Kenner range, historical manufacturer of Star Wars toys very popular with collectors.

I have already presented here some of his (re) creations in the same spirit (Kenner Imperial Attack Base, Death Star Compactor, Death Star Escape).

He presents his latest achievement: The reproduction of a prototype of the Mos Eisley Winery dating from 1979 which has never been marketed in this form and whose correct visuals are rare. The final version of the playset had been extensively modified at the time (bottom on the image below).

Corellian XS Stock Light Freighter

With the arrival this summer of a new set from the video game, we are currently talking about ships from the universe of Star Wars: The Old Republic from which LEGO has already been inspired to offer us a few sets.

After the excellent 9500 Sith Fury-class Interceptor, the very average 9497 Republic Striker-class Starfighter and the superb Battle Pack 75001 Republic Troopers vs. Sith Troopers, here comes in 2013 the very promising 75025 Jedi Defender-Class Cruiser.

It left some other vessels taken from the game that LEGO could one day offer us in a plastic version and the XS Freighter, or Corellian XS Stock Light Freighter for close friends, the distant ancestor of the Millennium Falcon, could be one of them.

I have found only a few MOCs of this ship that only fans of the game are familiar with and I offer two below with the mini version of The-Jedi-Exile and the version System from 2012 proposed by Keller von Ruger (See its MOCpages space).

These aren't ultra-elaborate versions of this ship, but they do at least have the merit of existing. While waiting for the MOCeurs specialists in the Star Wars universe to possibly look into the subject despite the relatively confidential side of these ships seen in the game SW: TOR ...
