I believe that is the work of Pete Reid.


The variety of building styles and inclusion of some odd (bionicle?) parts makes it really interesting,
which is a difficult challenge when you can't really vary the color scheme much
in Mos Eisley.  Who made those custom minifigs?  Are there close up pictures of
those?

The custom minis are also Pete's. There are some piccies on his brickshelf
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=Legoloverman although not of
the Star Wars ones as he only did them very recently to go in Mos Lego.


There are also some cool custom droids I'd like to see closeups of.
Elsewhere in the room there were other great MOCs.  Who made those Battlestar
Galactica customs?  Those are really cool.

The Battlestar Galactica stuff is the work of Rhys Knight.


Also the Tolkien custom.  Who made that and are there some good pictures of it on the web?  I'd like to link to
that from my Tolkien custom page.

The Tower of Orthanc is mine. Unfortunately my camera is useless for taking
pics of Lego so you will have to wait until I can borrow a better camera - I
do intend to do so soon though. ;)

Thanks for all the feedback,

James
