Lego MOC Battle of Yavin aka Death Star Trench

This MOC was inspired when I saw Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope for the first time back in 1979. I was overwhelmed by the presences of spaceships and lightsabers and lasers from the movie. Started this MOC in December 2014 and took me 5 months to complete

I used 4 numbers of 48x48 grey baseplate for this MOC, a huge range and variety of mostly Light Bluish Grey & Light Grey parts and some Dark Bluish Grey and Dark Red ranging from Lego bricks, plates, tiles to Technic parts. These parts is then put together randomly to form

low and high towers, some symmetrical and linear arrangements, while some have uneven or chaotic non-linear arrangement but all in, forms a unique surface of the Death Star.

Not forgetting the spaceships line-up, T-65 X-wing starfighter, BTL-S3 Y-wing starfighter, Tie Advanced x1 and LN starfighter (Tie fighter)

This MOC features the different dogfight scenes that was taken from the movie and combined to show 1 epic battle scene.

- The scene I like most is when the Y-Wing starfighter are doing the bombing run in the infamous "Death Star trench" with Darth Vader chasing them in Tie Advanced x1 and 2 Tie fighter as wingman to back him up.

 

I am very satisfied with the result as it captures feature elements from the movie.

This is my tribute to Star Wars and I hope you enjoy viewing it as I have enjoyed building it!

May the force be with you.....Always!
