Star Wars Constructable Collectible Astromech Droids LEGO CUUSOO project by SPARKART!

SPARKART !, Known and recognized MOCeur, launches a CUUSOO project to say the least original: It offers a series of astromech droids to assemble yourself according to the tastes (and colors!) of each. The starting MOC used as a basis for this project is excellent and we note the use of the dome of the astromech droid from the UCS set 10215 Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter released in 2010. Sparkart proposes to produce this 4x4 dome in different colors that would create a whole collection of different droids.

The initiative is interesting and well deserves a little click of support on BEWARE. Below is a visual that allows you to better understand the scale of these astromech droids.

YT-1300 Light Freighter by Babalas Shipyards

Seen on flickr, this MOC of the YT-1300 Light Freighter by Babalas Shipyards is quite interesting. It reproduces the Millennium Falcon with a mock-up look that I don't mind.

But it also offers a fully fitted interior which makes this MOC a good playset whose scale is, according to Babalas Shipyards, halfway between the Millennium Falcon UCS (10179) and that of the set 4504 released in 2004 in the range System.

MOCeur posted many views in his flickr gallery and comments on them extensively.

Supergirl by alanboar 

Here is a successful custom of Supergirl, cousin of Superman whose exact name is Kara Zor-El (among others) ...

I prefer the printed minifigs to the ones customized with decals or stickers, but on this version, alanboar managed to achieve a nice effect with the Supergirl skirt. The size may be a little too cinched, but the final character is really successful.

You will see a little more on the flickr gallery alanboar.
