His first diorama on the battle of HOTH can be seen in the book "Lego Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary".
It consisted of approximately 60.000 pieces and was destroyed in transit back from an exhibit at LEGOLand in California. Brickplumber then decided to reconstruct this scene, but bigger, more beautiful, more detailed ....
This new MOC sets the bar very high: 300 hours of intensive work spread over 6 months, more than 100.000 parts, a hundred minifigs, hangar doors powered by 9V regulators, more than 170 LEDs to recreate realistic interior lighting and faithful to the atmosphere of the film, a UCS Falcon fully customized for the occasion with an extremely detailed interior, 3 AT-AT Walkers composed of approximately 5000 pieces each and equipped with motorized functions for the descent of the troops, turrets of defense with light blaster, dozens of rooms like a cafeteria, barracks, snowspeeder sheds, etc ...

The level of detail is simply impressive, we never tire of discovering this battle scene from every angle.
And even if you have already seen this MOC somewhere, you still have a lot of mini-scenes to discover on the various photo galleries commented by Brickplumber himself:

And of course this incredible video commented by the creator of this MOC:
