Tatooine - Desert Tower & Moisture Vaporator
Hi, I am working on Tatooine diorama almost a half year. This is the first module which is a part of bigger MOC. I will be upload next parts of it every Sunday :)
Some words about MOC:
The idea was born at the moment I bought a glass-cabinet for my LEGO collection. I always was a big fan of SW and scenes from Tatooine I liked the most so... the choice was easy :)
The most problematic part of whole counstruction was a dome. This is the final version which was re-builds almost 5 times. There is a long flexible bar inside which hold all small arches in correct position. The extension of the upper dome is made from a curved slopes and 1x1 modified bricks.
I am very pleased as the big arches well cover the gaps between the core of the tower and base. There was a lot of problems with a perpendicullar connection between them, due to small space inside the base but I think the final efect is satisfactory.
The whole Desert Tower as a construcion is very solid. You can easily grab it in one big piece and there is no chance to destroy it only by moving from one place to another. I'm happy about that.
I's a pity that the lego did not release Garindian figure but there is a simple way to make him own (round 1x1 plate, 1x1 cone, binoculars and hood).
The Moisture Vaporator is an icon of Tatooine diorama so I couldn't miss it. I know that it should be in white colour but LBG/DBL fits better in that case. Further I know that it is not in minifugres scale but othrwise it seemed coarse.
Thanks!
Enjoy the photos!
