MOC: Midi Slave I by Eichhorn

08/02/2011 - 17:07 MOCs
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.

7964: Republic Frigate (June 2011)

08/02/2011 - 09:38 Lego news
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.

7961: Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator (June 2011)

08/02/2011 - 09:32 Lego news
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.

7962: Anakin's & Sebulba's Podracers (June 2011)

08/02/2011 - 09:23 Lego news
7962Here is a set which is worth its weight in gold.
Not so much by the two podracers which are after all not very innovative, even if they are well made, as by the minifigs delivered: a very beautiful, brand new, detailed and faithful Watto, a finally resembling Sebulba, and a classic but successful Wald. 
Anakin and Obi-Wan are very classic with a special mention for Anakin's helmet.
Sebulba's podracer is likable, although some cry sacrilege due to the use of meta-pieces from Power Miners sets.
Anakin's is very close to the one seen in the set 7131 (Anakin's Podracer) or the set 7171 (Mos Espa Podrace).
Note that podracers finally use Trans-Clear connecting pieces instead of the unrealistic classic Tan.
