Citadel - LEGO Star Wars

This is my latest creation: The citadel from Star Wars The Clone Wars.

 

After months of work it's finally finished and I'm very happy to show it to you today. I really hope you like it and I'd be happy to read your comments. Favs appreciated (as always;D).

 

 

Some background info (from jedipedia):

 

The Citadel, also known as Citadel Station, was a prison constructed on the planet Lola Sayu by the Galactic Republic to hold rogue Jedi. Early in the Clone Wars, it was captured by the Confederacy of Independent Systems and Osi Sobeck became its warden.

Under Separatist control, the Citadel became known as the Confederacy's most isolated holding facility that held their high value detainees. The prison was heavily guarded by a number of droids including droid commandos. The clone trooper training facilities in Tipoca City on Kamino used a Citadel Challenge training course.

 

I didn't stick to the original model 100 %, mainly due to the fact that I wanted to build an interior. That's why my citadel appears to be a bit "thicker" than the one you've seen in TCW. Also I added some things such as the details on the walls and the hangar inside the mountain. I was generally quite creative. Obviously, because I enjoy it and it's probably the most fun part about building with LEGO, but also because there weren't a lot of high res shots of the citadel available. So I had to come up with quite a few solutions of my own in order to finish this MOC.

 

I think the end result is pretty good and I really enjoyed working on this big project.
