LEGO Star Wars - The Streets of Mos Eisley - TomSolo93

Decidedly Tatooine is back in force lately, many MOCeurs focus on Mos Eisley and Thomas alias TomSolo93, whose style I like, brings us out a pretty street scene with some great finds.  

And then we must recognize that as soon as there are many Tan on an MOC, it is immediately very pleasant to watch. I repeat myself, but the young MOCeurs are the future of the French creative scene and we should not hesitate to support them. 

Discover many other Star Wars MOCs (and on several other themes for that matter) on the flickr gallery from Tomsolo93, this boy is definitely very creative and his techniques improve with each new achievement.

Tatooine - Lars Homestead - 2 Much Caffeine

2 Much Caffeine is at the top of its art in micro-scale MOCs: The one it offers today is still a fine example of miniaturization and original use of parts usually devolved to another use. The scene is simple but effective, I just maybe regret the size of the SandCrawler which seems to me slightly out of proportion. 

But let's not quibble and appreciate the man's creativity. Take the opportunity to go for a walk on his flickr gallery.
