barc ucsDobbyClone, Eurobricks forumer formerly known under the nickname Brickartist, offers an original creation that has the merit of not being an endless X-Wing or SnowSpeeder.

He tackled the BARC (Biker Advanced Recon Commando) Speeder seen among others in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

The result is nice and takes up the slender line of this speeder well. The creator will undoubtedly make some further improvements by following the advice of other experienced MOCeurs from the Eurobricks forum.

moc sandcrawler bananaSandCrawler's project in UCS format (Or even bigger and more detailed) is making great strides, with this new photo (Click for a larger view).

This well-known MOCeur is not at its first attempt in terms of ambitious MOCs, which you can discover in his flickr gallery.

After having developed the motorized tracks of the SandCrawler that you can discover in the test phase on the two videos below, marshal_banana tackled the structure of the vehicle, respecting as much as possible the original model designed by ILM for the film (visual below).

t47Another version of the iconic Snowspeeder, arguably the most famous device in the Star Wars saga after the X-Wing. And the most reproduced too.

This time, siseon, forumerEurobricks, was largely inspired by the work of Larry lars (His T-47 version 2010 can be seen here), and does not hide having been influenced by the achievements of BrickDoctor (His version of the T-47 can be seen here) and Marshal banana (His model can be seen here), two other talented MOCers well known in the community.

In the end, the result is a clever mix of all these impressive realism MOCs and the finish is exemplary.
Siseon has produced two models which you can see in pictures on the dedicated topic at Eurobricks.

12649890338 SPLASHFollowing Chris's comment on the previous HOTH diorama, I'm also posting some info and a video on the one made by Brickplumber, which still remains an absolute reference in Diorama.
His first diorama on the battle of HOTH can be seen in the book "Lego Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary".
It consisted of approximately 60.000 pieces and was destroyed in transit back from an exhibit at LEGOLand in California. Brickplumber then decided to reconstruct this scene, but bigger, more beautiful, more detailed ....
This new MOC sets the bar very high: 300 hours of intensive work spread over 6 months, more than 100.000 parts, a hundred minifigs, hangar doors powered by 9V regulators, more than 170 LEDs to recreate realistic interior lighting and faithful to the atmosphere of the film, a UCS Falcon fully customized for the occasion with an extremely detailed interior, 3 AT-AT Walkers composed of approximately 5000 pieces each and equipped with motorized functions for the descent of the troops, turrets of defense with light blaster, dozens of rooms like a cafeteria, barracks, snowspeeder sheds, etc ...

The level of detail is simply impressive, we never tire of discovering this battle scene from every angle.
And even if you have already seen this MOC somewhere, you still have a lot of mini-scenes to discover on the various photo galleries commented by Brickplumber himself:

5461235920 b50ae824a3Here is a diorama, a real one, a big one, with animations, and tons of incredible details. It was designed by Bo Jensen for LEGOWorld 2011 in Copenhagen.
The figures are impressive: 25 hours per week for 11 months to assemble everything, 750 kg and 1.5 million bricks used, for a total budget of around 47.000 euros ....
Snowspeeders and Speeder Bikes are mounted on rails and both AT-ATs are motorized.
Enjoy the video below, in music and with some exceptional on-board camera sequences:

Bo Jensen is not at his first attempt, in 2009 he had already presented a diorama on HOTH for LEGOWorld 2009, here is the video below:

In 2010, he presented an ENDOR diorama:
