 | | SW Minibust MOC - Admiral Ackbar —Joe Meno
|
| | | Well, it all started when I saw Stuart Immonen's Hammerhead MOC...I was very impressed with it and asked him if he was going to do Ackbar...and his reply was: Maybe, maybe!! I want to see what other people come up with! Any takers? Well, I thought (...) (22 years ago, 27-Apr-03, to lugnet.announce.moc)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks! The eyes make the model here. I tried to make the eye color a little more accurate by placing a trans-orange behind the trans green, but while the color was pretty close, it looked odd from the wrong angle. Actually, the entire (...) (22 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks! There were some lucky things that happened while I was building, and the collar is one of them. I did that to give a place for the head to rest. Bad thing is, it does look kinda like I put his head on a platter:) Now if I could only (...) (22 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

| | | | | Great job, Joe. A very accurate depiction of possibly the coolest Rebel leader in the trilogy. :) It's nice to see that Stuart's mini-busts are inspiring others. -Bruce LEGO @ Bruce's Homepage (URL) (22 years ago, 27-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

| | | | | Joe, I love your Ackbar! Especially from an angled view, you really captured the "feel" of the character. I think the best part of the sculpture is that Ackbar's eyes ... well, really just "make" the bust! (22 years ago, 27-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks! The eyes are the strongest element on this bust, and thankfully they work design-wise. The other cool thing that happened (accidentally) was that I used 1x1 clip plates at the corners of the mouth to fill space, and it turned the lip (...)

| | | | | (...) Joe you did a great job in capturing all the key elements in Ackbar's features, and yes, the collar really does add the coup de grâce on an already elegant little sculpture. I hope now the rest of the AFOL world will now see the pleasure and (...) (22 years ago, 27-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

Mine needed something on the bottom to anchor the sculpture. (...) It was a fun project! But you (...) (22 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)
