dimnico Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hi guys, here is a little MOC I put together. IMG_20161014_164521 by dimitrinicomanis, on Flickr I had a few spare bits lying around and had recently acquired a Tauntaun so I thought I would put it to good use! DSC_1899 by dimitrinicomanis, on Flickr DSC_1942 by dimitrinicomanis, on Flickr I wanted to make this as movie accurate as possible so that is why the colour palette on this build is more grey, to reflect the night time setting of the scene, rather than the traditional tan colours of Jabba's Palace. I should point out the gungan head isnt movie accurate but I put that in for a bit of fun!

IMG_20161009_221534 by dimitrinicomanis, on Flickr Which do you prefer, tan or grey? Hope you enjoy and as always any feedback, advice or suggestions for new MOCs are always welcome! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KShine Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Nice job - Definitely the bley. I now feel inspired to create something - Maybe it would help to shake me out of my ever-deepening LEGO funk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second of all just have fun, if you feel in a funk step away for a bit, shake the cobwebs and come back fresher and better than before! If this has inspired you then that makes me feel great and please do share! 27 minutes ago, TabbyBoy said: @dimnico... You are a genius and very creative.

At the moment this is all for fun but maybe one day I can turn my hobby into something more? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 With the right lighting to match the scene the tan version could look better but as is the gray provides a nicely well-defined contrast.

That would be a goal to shoot for, only remember to have fun always. There are times where even if you are not in the mood to create, it can help yourself just to slap some random thing together. Also be careful to not find yourself creating designs just for a commission as the hobby you used to love can now become a grind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't imagine having to build something and finding it a chore. I do it because it's fun and like you say I love just picking up random bricks and turning them into something completely unexpected!
