We no longer present Rod Gillies, alias 2 Much Caffeine (See these articles), Talented MOCer and appreciated writer who offers us a new very successful micro-MOC with this scene of the X-Wing sinking into the marshy waters of Dagobah.
Once again, the MOCeur shows great ingenuity and gives a few pieces a very special dimension in this miniature context.

To see more and discover his other creations on the same scale, go to the dedicated album from his flickr gallery.

These MOCs are also subject to Cuusoo project.

This is not the first time that Eric Druon, alias BaronSat for close friends, has reproduced in LEGO an old set from the Kenner range, historical manufacturer of Star Wars toys very popular with collectors.

I have already presented here some of his (re) creations in the same spirit (Kenner Imperial Attack Base, Death Star Compactor, Death Star Escape).

He presents his latest achievement: The reproduction of a prototype of the Mos Eisley Winery dating from 1979 which has never been marketed in this form and whose correct visuals are rare. The final version of the playset had been extensively modified at the time (bottom on the image below).

With the arrival this summer of a new set from the video game, we are currently talking about ships from the universe of Star Wars: The Old Republic from which LEGO has already been inspired to offer us a few sets.

After the excellent 9500 Sith Fury-class Interceptor, the very average 9497 Republic Striker-class Starfighter and the superb Battle Pack 75001 Republic Troopers vs. Sith Troopers, here comes in 2013 the very promising 75025 Jedi Defender-Class Cruiser.

It left some other vessels taken from the game that LEGO could one day offer us in a plastic version and the XS Freighter, or Corellian XS Stock Light Freighter for close friends, the distant ancestor of the Millennium Falcon, could be one of them.

I have found only a few MOCs of this ship that only fans of the game are familiar with and I offer two below with the mini version of The-Jedi-Exile and the version System from 2012 proposed by Keller von Ruger (See its MOCpages space).

These aren't ultra-elaborate versions of this ship, but they do at least have the merit of existing. While waiting for the MOCeurs specialists in the Star Wars universe to possibly look into the subject despite the relatively confidential side of these ships seen in the game SW: TOR ...

It's a very long weekend, very quiet and rainy, so here I am, wandering like a poor fan lost in the list of videos uploaded to the official LEGO site.

Nothing very exciting, except this new video where we see a Clone Commander and a Clone Trooper both from the 2013 Battle Pack 75000 Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas, grappling with a few battle droids, and bustling around a defense (or communication, or generator of something) turret, LEGO instructions in hand and equipped with a brick separator.

A mini-poster of the scene is also downloadable at this address on the official LEGO website.

Nothing conclusive even if the wink is nice. From there to seeing the content of a future set from the LEGO Star Wars range, there is only one step that I will obviously not take. Though...

If like me you go around in circles on this very rainy Sunday, take the opportunity to watch this video, it will always be taken ...

Let's take advantage of this calm and long weekend to come back to two creations proposed by Brickthing.

Here is Iron Man and War Machine, two fully articulated 40 cm high action figures, based on parts from all that LEGO has ranges: System, Hero Factory, Bionicle, Technic ...

The result is really convincing and deserves your full attention.
