 | | SW MiniBust-- Imperial Stormtrooper
|
|
I got to thinking on a lazy Saturday... 1)I think my favourite part of mecha building is creating the head and 2)I think TLG missed the boat somewhat on their Technic SW figs and 3) I had a lot of small white pieces.... So I made this. I'd like to (...) (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build, lugnet.space, lugnet.announce.moc) !

(...) Thanks for the thoughts, Jon. I agree wholeheartedly that TLG would probably do a great job themseves. The (upcoming) SW mini ships indicate a new acceptance of SNOT from them... And I'm going to try and do more myself, but definitely want to (...) (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Stuart, I gotta agree with Jon, minibusts are a great idea. And what a way to start! This looks fantastic. I hope to see more. John (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

This looks excellent....it's like that 2x3 wing nose was made for it. This would be great to see produced - packaged much like the Bionicle masks. And interesting marketing twist would be to sell the pieces for the head, yet the instructions (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Me too! The trooper's guts are not extraordinarily complicated, but I can imagine that different heads would necessitate different platforms-- I'm very curious to see what people could devise with a 4 stud "baseline" for width. Thanks for (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) That's a great idea! Although there's already a precedent for (non-Lego) minibusts to stand on their own-- they're a popular item featuring comic book characters, for instance. Still, it wouldn't be too hard to make a "mecha" or "Bionicle" (...) (22 years ago, 22-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

This is really neat. Not only did you make an amazing creation (uncanny likeness at such a small scale; well done sir!), but you have potentially created a fad. I can see this one booming off like some others. Cool. -Chris Also, gotta agree with Gil (...) (22 years ago, 23-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Well! One more to fan the fire: (URL) one disappointing factor is that there's no 1x4 tan technic brick-- I used grey. Whee! stuart (...) (22 years ago, 23-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Oooh, nifty. This one's even cooler. I like how there's no brick around the 1x1 eye cylinders - gives a real feel of depth and shadow. And the minifig arms work well in this one. He's done it again! -Chris (...) (22 years ago, 23-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)
