Jack says he is constantly thinking about, researching, collecting, building, designing and talking about LEGO, and loves building anything Star Wars – whether it’s characters, landscapes or buildings. He has MOC’d a side building for Jabbas Palace, based on a third section of the palace that was shown in ‘Return of the Jedi’ but missing from the official set, and says his dream build is either a Tatooine or Naboo landscape. Jack may only be a teenager, but his LEGO building skills and knowledge – especially when it comes to Star Wars – are certainly advanced. Jeremy’s most rewarding build is the microscale replica of 10143 Death Star II – it was the first one he did and it introduced him to Brick Resales, where he managed to get 100% of the parts! It’s a good thing Star Wars is his favourite LEGO theme (“Are there other themes?!” he jokes) because he spends his life researching and writing about it. Jeremy claims not to know the design and building techniques to MOC his own builds – though we’d beg to differ - and instead spends his time building sets and OPCs (other people’s creations) and writing about the latest releases. Jeremy is a freelance AFOL journalist and bicycle mechanic from Nundah. His best MOC to date is his enormous ‘Blue Squadron’ training base (pictured above), a free-standing atmospheric space installation featuring six BTL-A4 Y-Wing Starfighters that won the ‘Intermediate Uniqueness’ award at BrisBricks. Matt started building custom Star Wars sets around four years ago after selling off his UCS and building scaled-down versions instead – he has built a microscale Death Star II, Super Star Destroyer and Tantive IV, plus two custom character builds of Princess Leia and R2-D2 (to name a few). He loves recreating scenes that aren’t commonly seen or recreated, and typically builds to Minifigure scale incorporating ships and vehicles he finds in toy shops. Matt is a public servant from Brisbane who is particularly obsessed with the Ultimate Collectors Series (UCS). But rookies and veterans alike are sure to learn a thing or two from these three Star Wars experts. It can be overwhelming trying to figure out where to start. Whether you build MOCs, OPCs (other people’s creations) or stick to/modify official sets, the world of LEGO Star Wars is a wide one.
