Dewback Patrol

I know it's not a huge stretch of the imagination, but I watched (listened to?) Star Wars A New Hope just yesterday afternoon. While I'm not a huge fan of the "enhancements" (please Disney, release the original theatrical cut on Blu-Ray!) I do always have to look up from what I'm doing and watch the stormtroopers in the desert. So this latest offering from LEGO 7 pleases me to no end, just look at that noble beast!

Someone Was In The Pod...

You all know what a huge Star Wars original trilogy nerd I am. So how could I resist this totally sweet MOC by -derjoe-? Although it is inspired by a scene that was unnecessarily mucked with for the special edition. Why adding eight more guys and a clumsy walking dewback was supposed to make it better is beyond me. Speaking of dewbacks, check out this baby, built from 1400 olive green plates. This is from the book Build Your Own Galaxy, which I've not seen yet but clearly need to.
