Tantive IV Midnette

I've completed my Tantive IV scene for the Clone Army Builders Guild 'Epic Star Wars Contest'. The contest states that you can build any memorable scene out of lego, in a 'Midnette' form. Rook came up with this idea and is running the contest. A Midette? It's now 16 x 16, at least for the contest. I threw this together quickly, I'm working on another project and couldn't be bothered too much with this one.

Please note in the last picture the custom DH-17 rebel blaster used in this scene in the movie; it's a small lego gun with a 1x1 grey cone placed over it. Very effective.
Any questions, comments, suggestions?

I think that DH-17 is genius!

I love the 'nette and the door is great! Although it'd be cool to see the other side and see the Stormies planting the explosive charge.

Thanks! I love that design too.

That's a very nice purist idea for the DH-17! I would add some more details in the hallway, when you look at the movie you'll see a kneeling rebel hidng behind a part of a door, add those things and so on.

They didn't plant an explosive charge, the Tie boarding craft deploys door-breach explosives automatically from the docking ring. And this scene looks great CC, I especially like the gun, absolutly ingenius!

Could you put a black cone on and it would still be a DH-17? Good job CC-007, I like there is almost no empty space and I like how you built the door.

Nice little MOC you have there CC-007. I really like your solution for the DH-17, simple but brilliant.
There are a couple of things you can improve on though:
-First: The walls could do with more detail, as they are they're plain and interesting.
Here's a reference picture to show you what I mean:

-Second: The floor could do with some Bley tiles.

Hope that helps , Fixer
