Jens: Well again, it was totally something different. TBB: What was your educational background? But at that time I was really into comics and making my own drawings on Star Wars, so I had interest, so it was with other thing but not together with LEGO. But I can’t remember making my own Star Wars models, even though it was a big interest. And then I spent a lot of time making my own creations. At that time, as far back as I can remember, I was building houses and stuff like that, and then I remember I had some of the first lego trains sets as well and I still have pictures of myself playing with them. ![]() Jens: I’m Danish, and as you know, in Denmark every kid plays with LEGO, right? Same thing for me. TBB: Did you grow up playing with LEGO as well? Did you build your own Star Wars models before you joined LEGO? And then before I started on that, I saw a job application for a permanent position as model builder and I got the job. At that event in Copenhagen, there were some LEGO people there, and they were looking to hire designers not for model builders but for making new prototypes for new elements, and well I was of course interested in that. I have a hobby building plastic model kits, which mainly is of World War II stuff. In 1998 I was participating in a model building exhibition. I really, really loved LEGO but I was never thinking of it as a profession or a career to be honest. LEGO has been a great part of my life for as long as I remember. Jens Kronveld Frederiksen: A little bit of a weird story and coincidence. The Brothers Brick: Just about every LEGO builder’s dream is to become a set designer. Read through to the end to learn a really cool detail about the movie Millennium Falcon Jens saw during a visit to Pinewood Studios during the filming of The Force Awakens! Jens has been with LEGO for more than 20 years, and shares his insights on how he joined the company, what lessons he’s learned over the years, and how LEGO balances input from both kids and adults. Little to no armor gaps as well.To celebrate the 20th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars, I recently sat down with Jens Kronveld Frederiksen, the Director of Design for the LEGO Star Wars line. I think for my next one I'll use characteristics from the AT-TE because its well documented.ĮDIT-Progress: Second version is almost done, almost doubled in size, and interior detail. My goal is for my next version to have twice the size of this one. What the biggest challenge was, was reference pics. Thanks Kieldaman, I agree it's small, I think I'll use this one in my mygeeeto,(coming by February). But still, that is already a good start and you could always improve it with the right parts and pieces. And I think your should also put the repulsorlift legs beneath the UT-AT. A couple of criticisms though, I feel it's a bit small to what it should be in brickform, UT-ATs are 23 meters long compared to the 13-meter long AT-TE, so based on this scale, a Lego UT-AT should be significantly larger than the Lego AT-TE. ![]() That looks really good for your first MOC, and quite unique too since this is the first time I've seen one.
