[@Currently_Nooby]

The GAR fought on Mimban prior so maybe your idea of an old battle you should put droid parts around (not a lot since it’s been over 20 years since the republic was there) but maybe some clone armor incased in the ground or an old torn up flag

[@TrueSquadronOfficial]

Thanks for the shout man! Really enjoying what you made so far as well as the overall plan!

[@SlipfootBBQ]

Wow I watched both of your videos one after another how great

[@coconutbricksstudios]

For sure man! Good luck with Geonosis!

[@Tookanarrowtodaknee]

I like the double support look, makes it feel more secure and connected like the rock was ripped away to look inside, and there will be plenty of sections you can view the tunnel through that won't have the supports.

How tf did you send this comment one day ago this vidio got uploaded 1 hour ago

The yes

Thanks for the feedback!

Maybe add a little height variation in the floor of the tunnel. Yes the rebels were digging it by hand, but just adding a plate or two difference here and there might make it look so much more interesting.

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@RandomStarWarsFan]

wait why does he keep saying rebels but then putting imperial army troopers there

[@_MNProductions_]

@@RandomStarWarsFan I think it's just as an example. In the final he'll have rebels

[@AndreBaguette]

The amount of detail is actually crazy, this is definitely gonna be the best coco moc so far

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thanks the smaller scale is already paying off.

[@WorstHour]

For the tie landing areas I saw a person use the 4 round stickers that are on the mandalorian armory set as circle lights under the ship

[@PhinixBuildingStudios]

Looks great so far! I think some brown tiles would fit in well for the terrain since mud often has flat areas where the washed out fine particles gather in an area. You could also add some black transparent tiles for puddles. For the trench: You could add inverted slopes at the front of the roof so it´s not just a straight line. For the base: some light towers would make a great detail. I hop that helps!

[@coconutbricksstudios]

I have some trans black tiles on the way hoping to make some pools and maybe some sunken vehicles!

[@Stormtroopercreations]

AWESOME!! For the Empire! This MOC is looking soo good and you're only 1 week in! I think option B for the supports, just as long as there's a long gap between them, so you can still see the tunnel.

[@coconutbricksstudios]

B seems to be the popular choice!

[@Stormtroopercreations]

@@coconutbricksstudios For a good reason

[@elemenoinc]

Mimban is the most underrated thing about solo

[@kidcollectable4043]

Really awesome work! The supports in the tunnels make it really feel more realistic and give off a ww1 trenches vibe with the supports. This might be my favorite moc series you have done in a while and I can’t wait to see what you are cooking up next with this one.

[@eclipsestudiosx11]

LETTSSSSS GOOOOO!!!! moc series week 1!! Dude I'm hyped for this series, Mimban is such a cool place 🔥🔥🔥

[@slipstream7363]

Super hyped for this series man! Great start and those troopers look INSANE! 💪

[@coconutbricksstudios]

I love them! I will need to make sure I don't buy too many lol!

[@Quick-Silver206]

Yeuuusss! Terrain! Also definitely the double support!

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thanks man!

[@Mattus4368]

Really looking forward to this series! Mimban is such a great planet for a MOC, such great colour contrast

[@chicken6702]

You should add one of your killer insects in the forest

[@plagueis5013]

dude this is sick! Crazy how much you get done in just one episode. That wrinkle cream joke got me🤣

[@TK-421dova8.0]

im glad to see you excited over something imperial!!! loving the moc so far.

[@coconutbricksstudios]

It's been a lot of fun! I am really excited to get started on the base.

[@ryanbrancaccio7768]

I prefer only one support because it is easier to view, and it helps show off the rock work you did behind it.

[@HelloTheir-qq5uq]

Ngl the thumbnail goes hard

[@Monkeybuisness12]

I love how mimbanese just look like big maz kanatas

[@adamosborne3765]

So much progress! This already looks awesome!

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Appreciate it!

[@robonut0357]

Dude absolutely love that tunnel! The terrain color choice is cool too and I love the variations in levels. I’d suggest incorporating some tiles in as well maybe to represent more wet areas

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thanks for the feedback! I will add some tile patches here and there.

[@Chakasmoc40]

Imperial moc !!!

[@idcproductions56]

Yay

[@AA_carsuk]

Nooo droid

[@coconutbricksstudios]

It's about time!

[@Clone1613-i6k]

I love the terrain work, tunnel and design for the supports, I prefer the view with only 1 support but think you could maybe stagger the second so that half is visible and the other half is partially hidden by the wall. This would allow you to have supports on both sides and still be able to take great shots down the tunnel!

[@the_mayonnaise_man]

i think for the cave you should make a hand sized drill, or a small dril on rails. Love the series already and keep up the good work!

[@Jodelllt]

You should add a cave w an old republic mine with sith troopers and Kyler crystals

[@ryanbrancaccio7768]

It look great so far, I can’t wait to see what you do with the base, because I love your work with clone bases.

[@fototrampeoaroundspain]

Fantastic video!!! I prefer the option A

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thanks aka for voting!

[@cheeseontop17]

tunnel looks sweet

[@BrickBorg5]

I saw the thumb nail and immediately clicked the video lol EPIC

[@karlwalter2950]

I'm excited to see what you do with this moc. I don't think i've seen a Mimban moc before so excited to see a different planet!

[@dubbzibricks]

Great start to the series Ethan, Can't wait to see the MOC grow. Keep up the awesome work.

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Much appreciated! It's nice to finally have started!

[@trciproductions7978]

The idea of mixing lots of black into the mud for burnt substances is a really cool one.

[@niedlichkeit]

I was already pretty hyped at the announcement that you would be doing a Mimban Moc, but now that you started it, im even more hyped. Keep up the great work :D

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Glad to hear it!

[@joeyswenson1012]

For the tunnel supports, Personally I like option A better because its a side view of the tunnel and half of it is open but if you're worried about it not holding up very well or breaking off, then I would say option B.

[@maxtermind5110]

I agree, but don’t have too much of a preference. I think you can see better in option A, but maybe Ethan could put some 1x1 supports without the cross in the middle so we can see better.

[@GeneralRiley-z1d]

Bro, this guy needs more subs and viewers this guy just makes some of the greatest mocs and spends so much time on them, and so much effort

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thank you for the kind message it means a lot!

[@GeneralRiley-z1d]

@@coconutbricksstudios no problem you deserve it after what you have done for this channel it's also nice that you read your comments and reply to them not many people do that

[@JackTrapani]

Finally it has come.!It’s been on my calendar since august! This is gonna be amazing. Keep it up Cocunut!😀

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Haha love to hear it!

[@Errodynamix]

Dude. This is awesome. Cant wait for the finale! Also do option A since it’s cross view

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@cadenburton7612]

Super excited to see this! You know I love Terrain!

[@Mattbricks458]

Great video! It’s nice to see an imperial themed moc in the works, feels really refreshing. If you are open to suggestions, I would suggest adding a small imperial outpost or Waystation in the plains to spice it up al little. Keep up the good work!

[@LEOBodycam_RBLX]

Looking great for only day 1! Amazing progress

[@BasementBricks-h2e]

Nice start to the moc! I think you should do option A for the supports.

[@acimagination7982]

im going to love seeing this get built. I thought it was a neat scene from the movie solo. that mine looks cool. has that war time/gold mine look.

[@grahamgillies7588]

Great start! I really like the bedrock detail

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Me too, the more I look at it the more I like it!

[@C-y-b-e-r]

This looks amazing and you’re have so much fun with it whilst discovering new ways to build that fit your liking! Really glad for you man. :D

[@SwimminginBricks-ku6gj]

You should make the remains of an old Clone Wars era battle in the vehicle junkyard area :)

[@bourbonboi3721]

The tunnels could be larger for small transport vehicles, carrying supplies to the ones digging, possibly with large machinery for quarry mining, and need a supply line back to their camp

[@hallowhead-]

Happy to see the start to another massive moc, great seeing content brother, hope your doing well

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Doing good thank you!

[@thefartaneers29]

ive always loved the battle of mimban and im so excited youre building a mimban base!!!

[@bert_1288]

I love this MOC, cant wait until next week!

[@AJVfilms]

So happy to see you building something Empire related as it’s my favorite, though I love your Clone Wars content too!😁To answer your question I prefer the one support look. Also I scared for you on how many brown parts will break when you eventually break it down. 😨 Might be a great video idea though 😂💡

[@coconutbricksstudios]

I am buying new parts for the brown and so far everything seems to be pretty strong!

[@Nathaniel-mn2hn]

I think for the tunnels option A is better, also when building terrain I feel like there should be less curved slopes, other than that the moc looks great and I can’t wait for the next episode

[@Brandon.thebaby]

loving the moc so far, also i do really like the double support look, makes it feel more three dimensional than it already is, the terrain is beautiful btw!!!

[@noahmorin7868]

I’m so glad your doing this especially because I don’t think you have ever done a big scale moc for the empire before.

[@princesslinkin7587]

those tunnels look sick. also i think double support looks better but i can understand liking only one

[@joeyswenson1012]

I think this new moc series will be a good opportunity to try something newer on a bigger scale. I too am a clone wars fan at heart but do love me some good imperial bases/bunkers. I'm looking forward to how this build will turn out!

[@Legopandaproductions799]

In the episode where we meet domino squad on the important Rishi Moon Outpost Mimban is mentioned to be an active battlefront so having some clone wars era references might be fun to include

[@bricksoverload2262]

Massive bridge to connect the landing pad

[@BrekonZollo]

Looks great Coconut!! Super excited for this Moc series! Also I think option A would look better for the tunnel since it is a cross-section view and it wouldn’t block the view of any mini figures or cool little details.

[@YoshiJoshi25]

I need those imperials!!!

[@legohits3084]

I think that the moc looks great and I like how you are going for realism but I do think that it would be cool if you added more tile to the mud on the surface

[@coconutbricksstudios]

I will probably add a little tile here and there

[@FlippinBrickz]

This is great! I think having one support would look better so you can see whats going on in the tunnel better. Also to make it seem tighter you could always attach more bricks to the ceiling of the tunnel in certain spots where the lanterns arent so you can achieve the effect without compromising on the lighting. Hope that makes sense, Im terrible at conveying ideas, cant wait for the next update!

[@georgehoadley6985]

With the support beams, I reckon u could go back and fourth some times having 1 beam where you have figures you want to see and two when there is more space

[@Killercrocrd]

9:00 B, I feel like its necessary

[@diegoarevalo1508]

Dam it’s amazing and i love the little details and figures and the fact you’re amazing at mocks

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thanks!

[@AidenKurt-z7v]

I’m so glad to see another moc, I followed you through migeeto and half of corascaunt ( I remember the stairs), and now Mumbai, I fully support this moc, you are my favorite youtuber❤

[@ralakili]

Nice start! Great to see an imperial MOC.

[@bananasplit8647]

Always wanted to build a MOC like this, amazing job man! P.S. Add a prequel reference, like an old Gungan shield or smthn

[@LukasWinter-c9x]

man watching you make mocs is so entertaining, Ive been watching since you were building Utapau. You inspired to start doing it myself. Im doing it in the swtor era. Thanks for the great videos man.

[@MitchellWestcott]

haven't watched you in a while because since school got busier i got less free time, but damn you know that i had to execute order 66 on that like button, love your videos bro

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thanks for still supporting the channel!

[@nuggetplayz6793]

I already know this moc is gonna be crazy.

[@chillingmonke]

So tuned for this project ❤

[@L3eaf6]

Nice idea with the 16x16 baseplates ! Il have to try that technicqe out for my self!

[@UnneciciaryBean]

You should use a Zeta class shuttle for the landing pad. It's impressive looking, not very commonly represented and the orange on its belly would stand out and add an interesting colour. And yous would build the imperial juggernaut seen in Season two of the Mandalorian too, it's large wheels would make it perfect for transporting cargo on Mimban

[@AstralisAway]

you should add some troopers digging a new trench of the existing one to add some more detail 👍

[@Animeeditz752]

Its awesome! But I think double supports look better and give it a nice trench vibe And we finally get imperial moc series

[@Jodelllt]

Sooo freakin good color paletee

[@rxdicalityAPX]

already looking awesome

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thanks, love the profile pic!

[@wendikan3431]

Type B is definitely the way to go, looks more interesting

[@BDD_Builds]

A new MOC series! "This is where the fun begins!"

[@owenmudrick4674]

good luck taking apart that build, those red brown plates gonna have higher casualties than mimban itslef

[@crim-jim6814]

You should place an AT hauler somewhere. Really sick to see this planet fleshed out!

[@conflictbricks8330]

Wow i think this is going to be one of your greatest mocs

[@coconutbricksstudios]

It's got great potential!

[@97marin]

You should make the old Battlefield with Clone Wars vehicules, what always struck me with Mibaan is that is it the planet on which the Clone Wars never really stopped.

[@SMG9Animates]

Can’t wait for the next one!

[@bricklord340]

add a little scene of a single imperial trooper falling into the tunnel with the ground caving in

[@DutchThriceman]

Loving it already, I would prefer the supports only on one side myself, I like a more clear view to look in

[@The.Lego.Sith.Empire]

Loving it so far

[@coconutbricksstudios]

Thanks!

[@sornreed]

This is gonna be sick!

[@timothygarner7888]

for the tunnel diggers you should use some droids I think itd look nice and make sense since we usually see the droids doing the labor since they don’t really fight in battle

[@SamulixGerman]

Really Like the New projekt. I‘m very hiped. I also have an idea for the tunnels, how about mixing variant A and B. You because the Rebels probably don‘t have that Big of a budget and id would be more realistic and hasty looking i guess. Love your enthusiasm

[@JesusReigns-fg8pf]

Already your best work yet!

[@davidszadai274]

I prefer the two support. Maybe ad some tall digging droids with some power tools or pickaxes. I think using droids to build tunnels would be the most star warsy

[@jbawesome5640]

Ive been waiting for this!!!! Glad I built my little Mimban moc before yours 😂

[@AidenKurt-z7v]

Hey I have that Star Wars van gogh shirt too!!❤

[@noahgeorge3654]

Really early suggestion, but on the hill you could have some sort of insurgent sniper team trying to take out high ranking imperials or something

[@-patrickbrady-]

I personally like the single support but you could put some parts up on top to make it seem a little more realistic

[@notworthyy]

just from the thumbnail i knew this was gonna be good. option A seems better given that its a cut-out

[@Thelonelyclone-Starwars]

Love your MOC man!

[@SolomonMagnus819]

I think A. The second support only needs to be implied. And its best to see whats in the tunnel without an obstruction
