Another interesting MOC with this Octuptarra Magna Tri-Droid designed by Iceman792 and which turns out to be really faithful to the model (on the left in the image). This battle droid, used by the Confederation of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, makes an appearance in theEpisode III: Revenge of the Sith and in the animated series The Clone Wars.

The level of detail is impressive, the color scheme adhered to the letter and the overall structure retains the apparent lightness of the reference model. 

To get a close-up of this battle droid, go to the topic dedicated to this MOC at Eurobricks. Many photos will allow you to appreciate the finesse of the construction, and to discover the often ingenious use of certain parts to achieve this convincing result.

A nice MOC to start the week, and even if the MOCeur, yoshix, announces that it is only 95% complete, this Republic Frigate is already well advanced. 

The result is convincing for most of the machine, except for the rendering of theEscape Pod whose round shape struggles to be rendered with the technique used. the engines are more successful, with less vacuum between the assemblies of flat.

For the rest, nothing to say, it is a beautiful achievement that will be exhibited during the next BrickFair in Alabama (USA).

Like me, you will probably not be able to go there, so you have to contemplate the photos of this MOC on the MOCpages page of yoshix to form your opinion.

2MuchCaffeine offers us a MOC that could have been sufficient on its own: A reproduction of an old television with the image of Superman flying above a Metropolis while Micro-Scale.

But he added an amazing feature which I let you check out in the video above.

To see more, it's on 2MuchCaffeine's flickr gallery that it happens.

You're going to say I'm really bad omen, but here's one more problem that buyers of one of the sets from the 2012 LEGO Super Heroes line-up may face: Indeed, an EB forumer is already complaining that the slopes (61409 - Dark Bluish Gray Slope 18 2 x 1 x 2/3 with 4 Slots) of Batman's jetpack and the Catcycle all crack in one place after just a few days of use. 

However, this is not a novelty, this piece shows a certain fragility and the set 6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase is not the only one affected by this problem. However, we can regret that this type of detail has gone through quality control at LEGO while the launch of this highly anticipated range should have been exempt. problems encountered so far.

If you don't have the set yet 9493 X-Wing Starfighter or that you do not intend to offer it to yourself, there is still a chance to have a new X-Wing in 2012: Mike psiaki has made available the instructions for his MOC and therefore allows you to reproduce this rather very well done vessel.

It's certain psiaki's Brickshelf gallery that it happens. There you will find many pictorial steps in the construction of this X-Wing and a list of necessary parts should be released soon. To stay informed about this parts list, visit psiaki's flickr gallery.
