 | | Use of cloth in MOCs —Travis Dickinson
|
| | | I would like to know what you think of using cloth in MOCs. This applies primarily to the dragon I'm working on. I'd like to make the dragon entirely out of LEGO elements, but the feathered wing designs I've tried have had serious flaws. I've (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | (...) Hmmm. I'm somewhat of a purist when it comes to building. No altering of pieces and no un-Lego parts allowed. What's cool about buiding with Lego is the challenge of creating something with such a limited pallete. Have you ever thought of (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | I think the suggestion about the plastic film wings is the most feasible one for the scale I'm working. I think I know how to implement this. I just have to acquire a number of those wings. I'll probably carry through with the bat like wings as (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | I wanted the same thing when I started working on the DR8CO and Razor. One thought I had, maybe you can make it work, is capes. The little minifig capes, all overlapped. Could make a cool feathering effect. I thought of using the Ewok hang glider (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | | (...) I built a prototype wing for my ornithopter using capes and 1x plates. It worked quite well but was very fragile, and I didn't have enough capes to do both wings. The holes in the capes aren't spaced so that you can use both and keep it flat, (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | I think my dragon is going to be too big to effectively use the cape idea. The capes would probably make good contour feathers or large scales, but I'm not crazy enough to try that. As for Vader's cape, it would be cheaper (but less pure) to cut up (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | Well, your a pretty darn good builder, so chances are if you are going to use cloth, it will be done nicely. Mayby a whole slew of SW capes, like from Qui-gon and the red ones from the Imperial Shuttle may judt do it for you. They have little holes (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | If I use cloth, there will be about 4 or 5 pieces per wing. If nothing else, I can try converting the finished dragon into a wingless variety. Thanks for the compliment and the suggestion. Travis Dickinson (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | (...) How about using the 10x10 nets? (URL) They'd make a very sheer membrane, especially since they're made out of black string, but they are bigger than the capes. You could attach 1xN plates to the nets to make them more visible. Or overlap the (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
