Home One – 7 ft. Mon Calamari Star Cruiser
Thomas Benedikt unveils a most spectacular mega model from Star Wars: the Home One Mon Calamari cruiser. This 7 feet long creation features an integrated lighting system that adds an effect of unbelievable realism. I cannot imagine the time and skills involved in such a feat.

- Piece Count: 30,500
- Length: 260 Studs or 208 cm or 6’10” (82 inches)
- Width: 48 cm (Max)
- Height: 28 cm (Max)

Woah! There must now be a shortage in the supply of grey.

Whoa.
This thing is amazing. The length especially. And then it lights up too!
This is impressive. Will it be making the rounds to the Lego conventions?
(Seeing “$5500″ shows me that this guy is dedicated!)

Benedikt’s stuff is always amazing, but this one takes the prize. A beautiful job on the proportions and subtle curvature of this ship. Just fantastic!

I saw this on Brickshelf today and wondered about it. I wondered, “Why haven’t I seen this stuff before?”
Pretty dang amazing, but I ain’t going to MOCPages to look at it. Good thing BS is still around.

Superb. I’ve always loved the Mon Cal Cruisers; this LEGO version is certainly no exception. And the lighting up is awesome.

That is completely and utter breathtaking. Like, Dr. X, I’m a huge fan of the Mon Cal starships, and this is easily the most impressive LEGO version of one that I’ve ever seen. Accurate beyond imagination, the size leaves me speechless, and the lighting that’s been incorporated into it makes an already spectacular MOC all the more impressive.
Beautiful work! Hopefully this makes it to a convention, and I’ll be able to appreciate it first hand!

That last pic looks like a photoshopped rendering, but the fact that it’s 100% real is amazing. Kudoos.

Some one needs to curate a showing of giant Star Wars MOCs with this and the mega-sized Battle of Hoth diorama. This is just spectacular!

Whoa! I love Mon Calamari ships anyway (though, not as much as Imperial ships, admittedly), and this is downright stunning. The best creation I’ve seen that’s been posted this year, hands down. Let’s see if it can hold out as such for the rest of the year. ;)

And, when the Mon Cal minifigs come out, I fully expect a minifig-sized version of this behemoth. ;)
