I don't collect the sets myself (though there are a few I wouldn't mind) but my son loves them and is steadily growing his collection. Yesterday we found some time for him to set up some of his favourite scenes and for me to photo them for TIG's new section. He's looking forward to seeing them here  










































thanks for looking  

Super Cool Young Man   

I particularly like the Sarlacc Pit scene     

hehe thanks James, I like his sense of humour.

Well now I know where the talent is in the family :-)

Wow what s great job!!

WOW! They all look fantastic and well displayed!!!!

I really like Jabba's barge and the skiff with Sarlac pit! Very cool looking! And very funny!

Hope we can see more of them displayed!

Thanks for sharing!

cheers!

Jay

That must have been great fun for father and son!
The LEGO sets look awesome. Great scenes and pictures. Thanks for sharing here, gents!   

Looking forward to see more work of the Artoo_Detour family in the future.
Does Jr has a LEGO Ackbar by any chance?  

Love it! I love that Rancor! Been so tempted to buy one my self!

Scenes look great kid   never seen the Sarlac before, sweet man!

Great job! Keep it up!

My nephew is also a big Lego collector, they have produced some really cool SW items lately...

Wow, Great job young man    
They are all excellent, but I really love the Rancor, Sarlac pit and the Sail Barge  

That's a great collection you have there young man.   
Unfortunately I sold most of my SW Lego due to a lack of space, but I did keep the Hoth sets & some of the larger vehicles. Seeing your models has inspired me to open my kits & get some pleasure building them with my daughter.  

They all look awesome. I've never seen the Skiff set either. I like Lightning McQueen added in the scene. He'd save the day for sure.

Awesome, I loved Lego as a kid, my brother still collects vintage sets.

That is a fantastic lot of lego. My favorites are the Rancor Monster, Jabba's sail barge & the skiffs.  
I love lego.
Awesome job master jedi.  

These sets look amazing!! 
I would love to own that Jabbas palace playset   

My fourteen yr old nephew has the khetanna sail barge, but no longer plays with it, so I'm gonna see if he would be willing to part with it   

Congratulations Detour junior, your Lego sets are awesome    

All really well displayed & some thought has clearly gone in to the layouts, love Lego & SW but fear to get suckedin to the lego SW or I would be Mr empty wallet as I doubt I could help myself from buying a hell of a lot of them, they really are cool, well done young Jedi   

Things have changed a bit since my time, lego was pretty much just bricks when I had mine, though it was used all the time.

So very cool young man looks like a lot of fun building all that I love the Rancor Monster eating the pig dude and the sail barge scene, oh hell they are all cool .

      

LOVE THEM !!!

They look super cool ... I bet Dad has ensured all boxes are kept !!!

Keep up the collecting young fella !

I tried that with my Junior.  My wife went mental " I'm not having two freaks in the house that won't throw anything out!!!"

Lego & Star Wars were also my childhood favourites,  it's great to see the next generation continuing to enjoy them.  

I really like your lego collection young man.
That looks like a lot of fun to put together.
Poor Gamorean guard, the Rancor is eating him, HAHA.

Absolutely AWESOME STUFF young brother, you have a real talent mate   lego is super cool, and one of the best things about it is you can make it all your life, plenty of older guys get right into it.

I really enjoyed your pictures, love the jabba diorama, just great stuff, looking forward to seeing some more pictures of your latest creations, keep us updated, and dont be too shy to post in here, regardless of age you are one of the gang here mate.

cheers

Thanks from both Jnr and me for all the nice comments    he was well chuffed to read all that.

I do insist on keeping all the boxes and at first Mrs Detour was going mad, but now she can see the sense in saving packaging, besides she's outvoted 2 - 1 now   Also nice that she helped Jnr build some of the sets.

He was really lucky to have family members put together to get him the sail barge and Jabba Palace for birthday and Christmas. Both sets have some great details and cool figures.

Me, I'd love an X-Wing to build and always liked the sets with the landspeeder in.

Cheers!

These sets are super cool. Great job to the young artist, and very nice to see his own touches added. Coincidence that lightning McQueen is about to get eaten by the Sarlac as Disney now owns both. Look forward to seeing some more.

Thanks again guys

Detour Jnr got his hands on a AT-AT Walker (set 75054). Between him, me and Mrs Detour it took us 4 and half hours build time. It's a really good-looking and sturdy vehicle, complete with lots of articulation and includes 5 mini-figures.

My only grumble would be I wished they'd included some more play room in the body and cockpit - it's really small in there. But I'm just an old geek and must remember this is made for kids LOL.

Sweet AT AT, Paul!

I can imagine the fun to build this giant.

Cheers Marco, kudos to the designers for making it so sturdy. I was convinced once built the thing would topple over and smash to bits. But underneath the armour the internal guts are a solid bit of engineering with lots of thought put into its balance and the articulated legs and neck parts all working on multiple moveable pins.

In fact, this part of the build reminded me of when I used to make the LEGO Technical kits back in the 80s
