The T-16 Skyhopper is not what we call a charismatic craft. The designers of the thing at Incom had to have scores to settle with their boss to come up with something so unlikely.

On all the encyclopedic sites dedicated to Star Wars you will be told that Luke adored this very powerful machine, of which he had a copy on Tatooine and on which he learned to fly with Biggs Darklighter.

LEGO did not really force on the reproductions of this speeder with a single set of 98 pieces released in 2003: The 4477 T-16 Skyhopper. On the side of the MOCeurs it is not crazy either. You will find on this blog two achievements: The version of RenegadeLight et that of BrickDoctor.

Back to business after a short break, Omar Ovalle takes over his 3rd series of alternative sets with an interpretation all in sobriety and format System of this famous T-16 Skyhopper.

You can see more on his flickr gallery.

I have gathered for you above the latest virtual creations from Brickdoctor which endeavors to reproduce in Midi-Scale format the content of each box of the Star Wars Advent Calendar 2012.

I will spare you for his interpretation of minifigs in Miniland-Scale version of which I am not particularly a fan.

For the rest, Brickdoctor is doing pretty well with these 4 achievements of which you can, as usual, download the .lxf files to open in Lego digital designer.

Be careful, Brickdoctor himself admits that these MOCs are only virtual interpretations and that he has not been able to test either the solidity or the stability of the machines in question. Some parts used may also not be available in the shape or color shown.

So it's up to you to use these files as a starting point, and to complete or improve these MOCs with a view to their reproduction in ABS plastic.

The .lxf files are available below:

Midi-Scale Vulture Droid Fighter
Midi-Scale Naboo Starfighter
Midi-Scale AT-AT
Midi-Scale Atgar 1.4 FD P-Tower

Those who follow Hoth Bricks know my passion for the Midi-Scale which I talk to you regularly here on the occasion of the presentation of an MOC in this format which is perfectly suited to LEGO models.

If the manufacturer seems to have definitely abandoned the idea of ​​offering us a few ships from the Star Wars universe on this scale following the mixed success of the two excellent sets released in 2009 (7778 Midi-Scale Millennium Falcon - 50 € on Bricklink) and 2010 (8099 Midi-Scale Imperial Star Destroyer - 20 € on Bricklink), Brickdoctor persists and signs by reproducing daily under LDD (LEGO Digital Designer) the content of the Advent calendar but with a little more ambition.

The result is really convincing, as you can see with these three achievements already presented by this MOCeur capable of renewing itself every day and of offering high quality creations.

Brickdoctor also provides .lxf files which will be useful to all those who wish to be able to reproduce these MOCs. You can download them via the links below:

- Midi-Scale MTT
- Midi-Scale Star Destroyer
- Midi-Scale Gungan Sub

In 2011, Brickdoctor had already reproduced the Star Wars Advent Calendar with some superb MOCs whose .lxf files were also available (See these articles).

I will do a regular update on Brickdoctor's creations related to the content of the Star Wars Advent calendar, but you can also follow directly the dedicated topic at Eurobricks.

A nice diorama to start the day with this successful recreation of the bunker scene on Endor by markus1984.

We can salute here the effort to reconstitute the MOCeur which has been extensively documented to reproduce the scene and the bunker. The vegetation is also superbly integrated, and the AT-ST, scale of the scene is inspired by that of brick doctor.

To see more, visit markus1984's photo gallery on flickr, you will find many views of this diorama there. take a few minutes to take a look, you will find some good ideas and you will appreciate the precision with which the MOCeur wanted to reconstruct this emblematic scene of the Star Wars saga.

You probably remember this set Yavin IV Base never marketed and featured on page 91 of the book LEGO Star Wars The Visual Dictionary (I took a photo of the page for you, above). crabboy329 had taken a modeling under LDD and the .lxf file had been available for download for over a year (see this article).

jonnyboyca has just released a real version of this set based on the work of crabboy329 for the base and those of Brickdoctor for the X-Wing.

The construction is faithful to the model presented in the book except for a few minor details such as the arch under the briefing room or the ground near the left turret. We recognize at the top the final scene of Episode IV with the presentation of medals to Luke and Han Solo in the presence of Princess Leia.

This playset would have deserved a commercialization (at least as much as the 10123 Cloud City ...) with a good endowment in minifigs, a ship in a new format and the possibility of replaying some key scenes of the film.

To see other photos of this reproduction and in particular the Medal Ceremony close-up (without Leia who is finally available in the set 9495 Gold Leader's Y-Wing Starfighter), meeting on the Brickshelf gallery by jonnyboyca.
