Sweet. This is a really nice MOC, and since it's Star Wars, it's even better. Thanks for sharing.

THis isn't what I expected at all. A great surpise :D ! My whole family loves Star Wars, so I am natural drawn to Star Wars MOCs, as well as castle :wink: . I really like the railing type thing, and the statue in the covered-place is a neat idea. I also like the Gungan Sub set(which I have :D :D).

I really hope to see more MOCs from you.

First when I saw this I thought: How long did you need to write such a great introducion for this? :lol: :wink:
Then I saw it has some story behind it... :)

Beautiful... on the lil'thumbnail-pictures it looks like it's real landscape...
As I'm not SW collector, I don't now are submarine and that craft-thing MOCed or existed sets? However, they're nice...
And I like that old-greece-style temple, pretty descent and awsome look...

Nice work ACPin :)

I can't really say anything nice without sounding like a suck-up. So overall very nice. Keep up the good work.

Hmm...I like the landscaping, and the little fence with flowers, but I'm not a big fan of using the official Gungan Sub, though I can understand why you did it. All the random creatures sprinkled on the surface of the water just look odd, though, IMO.

The Gungan sub and Trade Federation AAT are (as far as I can tell) the official sets.

On the "random creatures sprinkled on the surface", I see what you mean, but I think if you think of the blue as the water's bottom it comes across much better. The water's surface should be higher up, if I recall the scene correctly.

Very nice scene, AC. I particuarly like this shot.

Thanks all for the compliments!

The water scene was originally intended to be deeper (at least 32 more studs from the ground level) with the rest of the sea creatures at various levels. The Bongo would be then rising to the water surface while the bigger fish further below. Had to compromise instead for a simpler scene since I didn't have enough bricks of the right colors to make it work.
