AT-RT Moodland Scale by MooDSWIM

I introduced you his teaser a few days ago, and M <0> <0> DSWIM wasted no time in offering its highly anticipated AT-RT on the Miniland scale. It even allows it to be declined in three versions, the original one, then one in the colors of the 212th Attack Battalion (Orange), led by Commander Cody and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and finally a version in (Blue) colors of the 501st Legion also known as Vader's Fist.

Often skeptical about this Moodland ou Miniland Scale, I must admit that on this MOC the result is very satisfactory.
The ARF Trooper and its mount are sufficiently detailed without losing their kinship with the original models.
The AT-RT accommodates carefully chosen parts to reproduce every detail, the same parts that could not necessarily have been used on a smaller scale.
This MOC opens the door to more ambitious achievements on this scale and other emblematic vehicles of the saga would undoubtedly find their account.
The choice of parts is completely redefined by the scale and we get a little novelty and freshness in the variety of construction techniques, which is not to displease me.

For other views, quickly run on the flickr gallery de M <0> <0> DSWIM .

M DSWIM, Rather gifted MOCeur, does it again .... This time he presents his General Grievous with "Miniland" sauce ... The result is very convincing and despite a little Transformers side, we immediately recognize Grievous.

At first glance, we obviously think of the set 10186 General Grievous released in 2008, rather successful elsewhere, but the comparison stops there.

Personally, I find the hands a bit small and they might have deserved more coins.
The face is on the other hand very successful and M DSWIM admits having spent long hours working on this part to reproduce as closely as possible the head of Grievous.
The work on the articulation effect is also very successful.
Wink for the platform which complements the "Collector" side of this MOC.

To congratulate the MOCeur or admire other views of this General Grievous, go to the MOCpages page dedicated.

Darth Maul (Midi Mood Scale)

While waiting to see if Disney intends to resuscitate us in 2015 some characters from the Star Wars saga, Darth Maul remains the one who made an unexpected and surprising comeback after being cut in two in theEpisode I The Phantom Menace.

It is equipped with mechanical legs and quite pissed off that he returned from the dead during season 4 of the late (or almost) animated series The Clone Wars.

Moodswim presents us his version of this popular character, who became half Zabrak, half machine, with this creation that you can discover in more detail on his flickr gallery.

I know you are not all lovers of the ladder "created"by Moodswim for his figurines, but some of his creations are nevertheless the fruit of a lot of creativity and ingenuity, in particular on the choice of the parts used.

A few sizes below, LEGO offers us this year a (successful) minifig of the Robotic Maul in the set 75022 Mandalorian Speeder.

Cad Bane is a character that rarely leaves fans indifferent: Some find him downright charismatic where others consider him too much "cartoonish"to be credible in the Star Wars universe. but as we say back home, tastes and colors are indisputable ...

Ce Lone Ranger space, bellicose Bounty Hunter in his spare time would deserve to me a film adaptation in the flesh, just to see which actor could don the costume of this cowboy new age.

Getting back to the creation of Kevin Ryhal aka Moodswim which completes its impressive gallery of scale characters "Moodland"is a festival of diversion of pieces that is a pleasure to see. The creativity involved in itself justifies that we pay a little attention to the efforts made to create something new. Afterwards, everyone will have his opinion on the final result Because tastes, etc ... You know music.

To see more about the characters created by Moodswim on this self-proclaimed scale, it's in the dedicated album from the flickr gallery of the gentleman that's happening.

Batman & Batpod (Moodland Scale)

We had discovered what is now called the Moodland Scale with many creations in the Star Wars universe and M00DSWIM returns with this magnificent Batpod ridden by a Batman that I find however less successful than the usual characters of this MOCeur. A fabric cape might have been more suitable in order to give a little more lightness and realism to the whole. 

M00DSWIM promises other views of this MOC on his flickr gallery, I advise you to go for a walk from time to time to discover this original achievement from other angles.
