10180: UCS General Grievous Starfighter, yes but no

19/02/2011 - 20:06 MOCs
Seasoned collectors already know it, others will have believed it for a few seconds: This photo, a perfect reproduction of a hypothetical UCS set, is a fake.
We could be mistaken, but it is simply the work of a MOCeur named Badgerboy who participated in a 2007 MOC contest on FBTB (From Bricks To Bothans) and who designed this impressive visible MOC here in his Brickshelf gallery.
You are probably wondering why I am telling you about a 3 year old MOC, but quite simply because this visual of UCS set comes back periodically on the forums and is still the subject of speculation on the part of somewhat gullible forumers.
The next time you run into a guy in a forum who wants you to believe the kick-out of the year, don't be shy about explaining to him that this is all just a montage from a MOCeur. gifted.

MOC Tatooine Diorama by Davor

18/02/2011 - 15:41 MOCs
moc tatooineA nice MOC than this diorama on Tatooine, with buildings whose design really recalls those of the LEGO Star Wars video game.

We will appreciate the integration of a slew of characters and the presence of many details in this scene.

The designer of this MOC talks about it in his topic on Eurobricks, where he also explains that he had planned to present this diorama in a box filled with sand during an exhibition, but that he had given up sand for reasons techniques related to the passage of visitors and the movement of air.
In short, if you want to congratulate this MOCeur or find out more, go to this address on Eurobricks.
