If you want it to keep a good shallow curve and not push too far forward, move the wall in towards the center. That will leave you some space on the sides to put figs and such. Also, your larger sections look good, you could lengthen your sections to even 8 or 10 studs in order to make the front look less flat in front. Looks good overall!!

I love your channel I liked and subbed

Welcome.

The light bluish grey frames for the door were the perfect addition. Great work!

For the roof u may be able to watch richboyjays kamino series. So u can get and idea on how to make the large dome roof

He has some really cool techniques but I am gonna do a plate based roof instead of brick.

Looking great! You should only make half of the senate building, and leave the back open so that you can see the whole senate meeting room with all the pods. That would look epic and its easier to build a half dome than a dome.

At this scale the senate should be practically a flat wall And due to its size your moc shouldn’t even reach the lip of the “mushroom cap” Basically if you want accuracy then a barely perceptible curve on a flat wall would be fine

A wall built by 1x2 and 1x3 bricks would curve quite alot over the span of this moc. Many builders make roads that curve over hills this way. I suppose building the mushroom cap on top of that will be really tricky though. Your solution, which to me look very Coconut-esque, might be the best of two worlds. Best of luck!

I have an idea on how to inclde the AV-7 to fill the open area in the centre of the steps. Have the gun abandoned and damaged, like it was being used when the Sepratist forces were further away from the Senate, and when it was in range of the Droid canons was taken out before it could be moved. So it could be collapses with it's legs sprawled onto the steps and damaged

You could use a bunch of Duplo with 2x4 bricks on top for some more sturdy supports under the 16x16 plates

Use selective compression. You could scale the building down except for the openings. Make everything 1/100th. It would still be big, but much more manageable and accurate.

If you make the roof, it might help to make it stick out less. If it only overhangs by 6-8 studs it shouldn't put too much stress on the build, and it'll still create the iconic mushroom shape of the Senate building

I like the 1st curve also it would be nice to have a interior instead of a blank wall

I like the wall design you ended up going with much better than the one with the interspersed round bricks. Things are coming together! Looking forward to the next update.

For real though 😆

I think if you go for an oval shape anyway, then the "castle" curve wall would make more sense and looks better and definitely would be easier to work with if you wish to customize it. You could use a white transparent 1 by 1 element to mimic the windows that you can see on the first picture where you took your idea.

What an update! The Senate building is going to be huge!!

Really good choice for the rounded senate walls. I think the other one would king of ruin the ambiance of being this supermassive, futuristic building. Keep building!

I like the look of the senate building walls, also I enjoy the longer updates

Really awesome progress this week! I definitely think the wall design with the more realistic look is much better than the one with all the cylinders! Also for the walls of the senate building maybe you could add some lights or grill pieces to represent wall detail because in some of the pictures of the senate building there are some etchings that look similar to that piece.

Every week I look forward to these videos

For the roof you could look into using technic supported angle plates like in the globe set.

I think one of my favorite sections of this MOC is the apartment complex. It's just such a cool looking very Star Wars greebly build. Can't wait to see the battle! Again, I'm so happy that in update shots you place minifigs and kind of make miniature scenes for them.

I would recommend checking out the Senate building in Lego Star Wars the Skywalker Saga for reference.

The roads look great!

i think you should make the senate less round, when its too round its less proportional i my opinion. but you made great progress and the moc looks awesome!!

This is a great day!

The dark grey curved walls look better because the light grey blends into the outside pavement too much

Can't wait to see of filled w figures it will be an epic battle

Its nice to see you finally starting to build the senate building

@coconutbricksstudios

Жыл бұрын

It's about time.

The Senate building seems to come out nicely. I'd suggest building some sort of security checkpoint at the entrances therefore implying a larger interior

If you want the wall to look rounder, i would not start it in the corner. If you‘d start it at the side and make the curve way more shallow, it would look like the building is huge but round, as a circle looks flat if its big enough and you are close enough. I don‘t know if i managed to explain it correctly… It would also leave you more space for interiors. And if you would make the doors larger it would make it look like the viewer is closer to the building and depicting a smaller part of the building would fit as the senate is gigantic so it would fit the scale better in my opinion.

One recommendation when building tall and wide is less weight on the top so it doesn't topple over. With the huge overhang there should be a counterbalance that way it everything is balanced.

OUTSTANDING update! Great start on the Senate bldg, I really like how the entry doors are designed. Keep pushing, I can see the finish line!

Oh ya I roof is a must but it will really mess with the proportions of the build but that's a problem for another day haha.

The larger grey one

Great update. Love where the MOC is going, just dropping back to this update. Solid Prix gave you a shout out today, on the wall technique, which he's going to use on his caves. Nice touch how you both watch and experiment with each other's MOCs.

In really curius about your approach on building a 3D circular building. I made some kamino platforms for my bad batch shuttle and the obi wan jedi starfighter, and it was hard enough for a 2D circular thing. Cant wait to see it!! I also like your second option for the circular wall better, you can also put some snot bricks in there to add detail to the wall.

U can make thecurve for the roof with 4x1 plate hinges and 6x3 wing pieces

if your not gonna build an interior in the senat building i would move it way back so the plaza in front get some more breathing room

Its finaly happi ng

Coconut. I just wanna say this looks amazing! The fact from a distance it looks so realistic. I'm so excited to see the finished moc! Also, if you had to be any class of clone trooper what would it be and why?

Gotta say Coconut, I'm loving how the senate looks so far. The walls have a really good curve to them and they're very visually appealing. It's going to look incredible once it all comes together. Keep up the amazing work man

Thanks for the support.

I would use the second technique with the dark grey wall

Jeez I started on week 7 it's so cool how much progress has been done since then

I think the cylinders make it look more like a castle build rather than a smooth industrial construction that the building is in universe. At least for some areas I would use the large flex tube pieces that you can warp into a curve and attach separate panels using plate and tiles with clips onto it to create a curved panel wall. Loved the progress and the more you make progress on this moc the more excited I get to see the end, very nostalgic for that battle scene in 2003 clone wars. Keep up the great work.

You should have put another entrance in between the other two or if you want to keep the 3 doorways then you should wider the doors with an other 4-5 studs at least because looks silly with that huge gap. I would also bring the doors forward with 8-10 studs so the curve could be more like a curve of a round building and not just a curved corner.

Nice vid

Next. Level. This is amazing, keep it up!

I love your builds

The next thing he’s going to do he’s Makes the entire planet even the underworld

great job man. what if you have a ship crashed in the roof to save parts.

nice progress, like those damaged street scenes very much, but why don't you use the entire space on the table? you could place the starting point of the curve much further back; the curve will be wide enough either way to use big straight panels with a slight angle between each other, details for gates and pillars won't be on a curved line themselves, but the entire building will,,
