seen on Euro Bricks, a very simple but effective MOC by Brickartist, the LM-432 Crab Droid seen in the Clone Wars series and in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. If you want my opinion, you add a jedi minifig, a box around and everything goes easily for 9 euros .....
Below is the MOC and an image from Wookieepedia.

Any creator of MOCs who respects himself spends a lot of time documenting himself on the various references necessary for the construction of his model.

Sculpting a Galaxy: Inside the Star Wars Model Shop is one of the must-read books on the subject, with plenty of revelations and illustrations on the techniques ILM used when filming the SW Trilogy.

Stuffed with pictures of the different sets and ships, this book sold at Amazon for € 36.22 will delight fans of realistic MOCs that respect original models.

Cavegod, Eurobricks forumer and well-known MOCeur in the community, embarked on a new project: A Republic Attack Shuttle UCS (Seen at LEGO in a classic set, reference 8019, which I had also found disappointing) .

The results already obtained are nice, we find the characteristic red and yellow colors of this model and the overall proportions are well respected.

If you want to follow the progress of this project and participate in the discussion, go to here at Eurobricks.

Are you looking for ideas to create mini dioramas, or are you running out of space to display your UCS?

The site http://sw.deckdesigns.de/ is made for you: You will find there nearly 200 original creations, with the very very small scale reproduction of all the ships and vehicles of the Star Wars universe.

Each mini set is documented and the instructions are downloadable.

Christopher Deck, the creator of this amazing collection recalls on his site, that the instructions and sets are not intended to be marketed, and that he offers them in free access for personal use only.
 

Note that DeckDesign also offers creations for the Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate or 2001: A Space Odyssey universes.

Your Imperial Star Destroyer must be escorted across the galaxy.

Legostein, Eurobricks and MOCeur forumer in his spare time, solved the problem by offering this Nebulon-B type escort shuttle seen in Episode V.

I have compiled the instructions for you in pdf format, you can download them here:
