The Phantom Apprentice - Overview

"Every choice you have made has led you to this moment."

 

Overview shot of my (in hindsight not entirely accurate) recreation of the Mandalore Throne Room from the final season of The Clone Wars.

Measuring 34x50 studs, this build started a few months back, took ages to finally complete due to waiting for several parts orders and just over a hundred bucks worth of LightMyBricks lights to come in - and of course the Mandalore Duel set for the Maul fig to face off against my semi-custom Ahsoka.

 

Notable details I'd like to point out:

Regardless of inaccuracy, the floor pattern and the lights built into every single one of the trapezoid shapes as seen on-screen.

 

The stairs, with each step being offset by 1 1/2 plates in order to accommodate for the thinner light panels seen on-screen, those being a half-plate in height here on my model.

 

The flower-lights left and right of the throne, protruding out of the wall, each backed by an LED.

 

And lastly, but no less important, the red window mosaic. Took me a while to figure out a pleasing pattern at least somewhat close to the reference (which I might mention is super intricate). The different colors and shapes are more clearly visible in the close-up shots in the showcase video, so have a look.

 

All SNOT-work in this build is legal by LDU measure, though some fits may be a little snug or loose due to LEGO's manufacturing tolerances regarding width and height of pieces, as is to be expected with expansive SNOT patterns.

 

I very much hope this MOC is as pleasant to look at as it was for me to build it.

Feel free to let me know your thoughts!
