Battle of Kashyyyk MOC at SW Miniland Windsor

Here are the Battle of Kashyyyk MOC at Star Wars Miniland Windsor, UK two photos that I got from Huw Millington Flick Stream,

I think this Battle of Kashyyyk MOC is amazing. The models and figures are miniland scaled and purely customized. Some lightning effect that activated by an interactive feature also make this MOC alive like the iconic scene on the actual movie.

Star Wars Miniland at LEGOLAND Windsor, UK

Huw Millington, the guy from Brickset is already made a report about Star Wars Miniland at LEGOLAND Windsor, UK and I tried to cover it through this post. The Star Wars Miniland at LEGOLAND Windsor is totally indoor and divided into seven sections. Each section displayed models and MOC that based on iconic events in each movie. These are the section's list :

• The Clone Wars : Christophsis battle scene
• Episode I : Naboo, City of Theed, Hangar Duel, and Battle of Naboo
• Episode II : First Battle of Geonosis and the Arena
• Episode III : Kashyyyk and Mustafar
• Episode IV : Tatooine and Mos Espa
• Episode V : Battle of Hoth
• Episode VI : Endor

The models that displayed are miniland scaled and very detailed, especially the vehicle models. There are many interactive features to make the models move, lightning war effect, etc. I personally like its Christophsis battle scene, Battle of Naboo, First Battle of Geonosis, Kashyyyk, Docking Bay 94 with Millennium Falcon, and Battle of Hoth MOCs. There is also a gift shop that stocked Star Wars exclusive merchandise.
