MOC Spotlight: Pirates Vignettes

Walter Boy on Flickr has been posting a series of vignettes based on Disney’s Prates of the Caribbean ride and movies. One of my favorites is this gem from the ride’s expansion/revision that added Jack Sparrow to the mix in 2006:

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a Pirate's Life For Me!

I also love this other scene from the ride:

Dead Man Tell No Tales

SNOTty Snowspeeder

T-47 Snowspeeder

Brickdoctor unveils his own take on one of my favorite vehicles from Star Wars: the T-47 Snowspeeder. What got me hooked on his MOC was his SNOTted wings and radiator assembly.

Lowlug.nl Star Wars MOC Contest

We are not very good at highlighting other fansite or their promotions. I hope this is a step in the right direction:

Lowlug.nl, a Dutch AFOL fansite, is hosting a large Star Wars contest with a variety of categories like Land Vehicles, Air Vehicles, Mini MOCs (sized 16×16 or smaller) and even a category for showing off your collection!

Check out all the details here. You’ve got till December 1st to enter!

PS: I hear they got some awesome judges for the contest ;)

Precious Moments

Father & Son

Consider this dad’s heartstrings tugged. Flickr user Pedro Venzini snapped this shot of a father and son settings their weapons down and spending quality time together.

While I head off to play with my boys this would be a great time for you, dear Bothans, to check out more Star Wars Lego photography by Pedro!

UCS Models by Gareth

Gareth Bowler, longtime SW mocmaker extraordinaire, has been posting some new/newish/old models to Brickshelf. Here’s a couple of his latest, a UCS Speederbike, and an updated A-Wing!


Click here for the full gallery!

Of the two, my favorite is the speederbike, which has some really great details I like, such as tires for the handle grips, and some fantastic greebling where the steering vanes connect to the main body.


Click here for the A-Wing gallery!

The A-Wing is sleek as ever. The canopy stands out to me.
Click here for the full UCS gallery, which includes a new TIE Interceptor, Swamp Speeder, and General Grievous Fighter.

We’ve gotten emails and forum posts from people asking where Gareth’s spotlight page from the old site is. It’s archived, but we’re still trying to cement our plans for handling spotlights here on the new site. Although we may not end up featuring individual builders with their own pages like we used to, we still intend to highlight the best and most amazing Star Wars-related creations we find.
