7965 insideFinally a view of the interior of the set 7965: Millenium Falcon ...

We discover the (disappointing) layout of this set (or playset) planned for June 2011.
Nothing too exciting, too much gray kills gray ...

Note that this visual seems to be really from a preliminary version, you will notice the catastrophic quality of the editing (!) Of the interior view with Han Solo and Leia Organa ....
In short, the set is articulated, as we had guessed, but does not bode well if it remains as it is. It is even more attractive simply closed and put, than in open position ....

slave1Another really successful MOC with this Slave I in Midi Scale format, produced by Eichhorn.
 
 
The range of colors used is very faithful to the model that served as a reference, namely the set 8097 (Slav I).
 
 
The creator of this MOC has put several views of the result on the dedicated topic at Eurobricks.
 
 
The LDD file is also available via this RapidShare link, if you feel like reproducing it.

01 landspeederwfigsSeen on Eurobricks, this revisited version of the Landspeeder.
 
If it is not unanimous, it must be recognized that the SNOT realization is extremely well thought out. 
 
The colors used are debatable, but the format and size respect the proportions of the reference model.

7964Here is a pleasant set which promises to be ...
The design of the frigate is well in line with the set 7665 (Republic Cruiser), the colors are interesting, and the playability should be there via a removable top panel allowing access to a probably slightly furnished interior.
Even if this set is a bit of a "reissue" of a successful product, the minifigs delivered already make it essential for fans of the animated series: Quinlan Vos, Eeth Koth, Commander Wolffe and a Clone Tropper are included, with the regulations. Yoda.
On this set, unfortunately, we can feel the stickers, especially on the reactors, we will have to afford a second board quickly to ensure a replacement when the time is right.

7961We put the cover again with a version of Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator.
Rather close to the set 7663 from 2007 (Sith Infiltrator), but better designed than the set 7151 (Sith Infiltrator) of 1999, this set will be worth especially by the presence of Padme and Captain Panaka.
It will also be the opportunity to treat myself to a new version of Darth Maul, very successful for my taste.

The vessel is ordinary, tasteless and apart from hoping that the patterns will be screen printed, there is nothing to expect in particular.
