This was metered as a work in progress in the MOC contest a few weeks back, but it looks like it’s all done now and it looks FANTASTIC! Great job Pigeon Studios!
Ever since posting that Surprisingly Scale episode with Grievous and the UCS landspeeder, the landspeeder and how tiny it is has been on my mind (probably in part due to getting dozens of frustrated comments telling me I’m a moron on the video, lol).
Anyways, I made a little MOC here of Luke’s landspeeder that is PERFECTLY in scale with the UCS Falcon (well, it’s 1.6 millimeters off, but this is as close as you can possibly get so I’ll call it perfect). The Falcon is 34.75 meters long, the landspeeder is 3.4 meters long. The UCS Falcon is 105 studs long, and this baby is exactly 10 studs long.
If you consider the Falcon (~1:41.4 scale) to be a minifigure scale model, which I think most people do, then so is this. This landspeeder right here is minifigure scale… according to the height of a minifigure. Minifigures, as we all know, do not have the same proportions as your average human (a minifigure has similar-ish proportions to a ~600 pound man). I just think this is a fun illustration of that principle, since you clearly couldn’t fit two figures side-by-side in this model, yet by all conventional 1:40-1:45 minifigure scale ranges this is indeed minifigure scale.
I’ll probably upload some (free) instructions to Rebrickable in the next few days.
The decision to give these guys silver helmet visors is so unbelievably baffling, so incredibly strange and confusing, so dumbfounding and startlingly stupefying… it makes me wonder if maybe there will be Mauldalorians in the upcoming Maul show with silver visors, because that’s the only way this design choice makes even a quectogram of sense.
There probably won’t be, but how the heck else can you explain this other than they had a pig mash its face into a keyboard when they went to choose the color?
I should mention, too, that on a personal level I actually think the silver visor does look cooler than the black visor... I just also recognize it's wrong and I would love to know why they went with it.

Well the workspace is a little bit messy right now, but for only four and a half hours of total work I think this is pretty good progress:

Hot take: this might be the best Star Wars theme song ever created by humans.
On an unironic note, it would low-key be hilarious to see the next wave of 4+ sets be based on this show.
