I’ve featured work by markus 19840420 before, but this model is one I’ve wanted to tackle for a while. It’s a LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV diorama depicted the scene in the beginning of the movie when the Stormtroopers decimate the Rebel Fleet Troopers.
LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV assault
This scene showed how futile the Rebels cause was against the mighty Empire.
I really love the mix of new and old bricks in this LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV diorama. Gives the ship that old, worn down look. Gritty, grimy, and real!
My only criticism might be that the scale seems off. The hall is a little too wide, and seems a little too tall. I’ll have to go back and re-watch the movie, just to be sure! 😉
I love the contrast between the gleaming LEGO Stormtroopers and the dirty LEGO Tantive IV hallway.
The textures on the wall are fantastic. I firmly believe, when interstellar space travel is a reality, spaceships will look like the worn out ones in Star Wars.
The grim Rebel Fleet Troopers of the LEGO Star Wars Tantive IV fought bravely against overwhelming odds and superior firepower.
I love that as much detail and design as went into the interior of the diorama itself, also went into the exterior as well. Very thorough.
When I finally have time to build again, this is one of the first models I want to tackle. Sadly, I have no LEGO Rebel Fleet Troopers in my collection though. 🙁
What are you looking forward to building?
I am an Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) and an active member of the Michigan LEGO User Group (MichLUG). I have loved LEGO for as long as I can remember. I am currently working on the following models:
– UCS Millenium Falcon
– Emmett’s Apartment Building
– Gringott’s Bank
Good idea to make one of these! And good moc!
I would like to build a GMC 6×6 carrier. But what I am building now are some new GBC models.
Furthermore, I would like to build some MILS system for my military mocs…
This is MILS: http://www.abellon.net/MILS/MILSLEGOTRON-tip3.html
Wow! Those are really cool! I may have to build some MILS, as well.
