snowmoc larsIn the large community of genius MOCers, there is one who persists in upgrading his T-47 Snowspeeder MOC.

This is Larry Lars, who since 2006 regularly offers an improved version of this iconic machine from the Star Wars saga.

In total, six different versions have been offered by Lars over the years.

The 2011 version is obviously the most successful and the level of detail is impressive for a System-wide MOC.

If you want to admire the different views of the machine, go to Larry Lars' flickr gallery or the dedicated topic at Eurobricks.

fregateassaut% 2B02Cocorico, a French MOCeur, offers us a new machine from the Rebel Alliance, the MK1 Assault Frigate which you can see an artwork at this address.
This frigate is in fact an Old Republic battleship modified by the Alliance Rebels to rub shoulders with the Empire's destroyers.
This imposing MOC of 1898 pieces displays respectable dimensions: 60 cm long, 20 cm wide and 29 cm high.

Dark Zion also presents on its site many original creations, including a Black Star, several versions of the X-Wing, a Millennium Falcon or even a Slave I, all in midi-scale format. 

Do not hesitate to visit him to take advantage of these MOCs widely commented and presented with the help of numerous photos.

naboo n1As if to respond to the general disappointment when the images of the set 7877: Naboo Fighter have been unveiled, many AFOLs criticizing LEGO for not having really innovated, DobbyClone offers its version of the N-1 Naboo Starfighter, which is very well designed.

If the proportions and the overall design are questionable, this MOC at least has the merit of offering a different approach to this slender and elegant machine that LEGO has not been able to reproduce while maintaining its finesse appearance.

To discuss this with DobbyClone, visit the topic dedicated to this MOC on Eurobricks.

5558262242 a2ff82d9e9 bI can not resist the pleasure of posting you this visual that the lord marshal_banana himself unveiled today on the topic dedicated to this MOC at Eurobricks...

My first reaction was to be amazed at this incredible SandCrawler.

We reach new heights in realism and ingenuity with this impressive MOC.

If you are a fan of LEGO and Star Wars, you owe it to yourself to follow the evolution of this achievement by going to the Eurobricks forum.

marshal_banana announces that the machine is far from being finished: It remains to build the access ramp, the crane, reinforce the engines on the tracks, finalize the lighting and the interior .....

It was by pure chance, while following a discussion on Eurobricks, that I arrived on the BrickCommander site.

This talented MOCeur, now Digital Model Designer at LEGO, has set himself the mission of recreating some ships from the Star Wars universe, but with a very interesting particularity: They are all on the scale of the set 10030: UCS Imperial Star Destroyer.

The main interest of these scale versions is to be able to build a realistic diorama where each ship is represented faithfully to the Star Wars universe. The curious will discover machines unknown at LEGO for some, or existing but in different versions for others.
I have compiled for you in pdf format the instructions for 5 of these ships, made available by the creator of these MOCs on his BrickShelf gallery. You can download them by clicking on the image or on the relevant link.
