I would have an 8th one, but I have parted it out. I am working on one with the Big Bang Theory in it, Darth in a portapotty holding a roll of tp.

Buzzetta Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 I need to finish what I started. I am still a torso, head and legs away from a giant size Galactus minifigure. All I ever completed were the arms. However, I did pick up the old Hoth base for the interiors in case I pick up the 2016 Hoth set then create a full size Echo base. I need to get rid of a few boxes of stuff to do that though. Only then would I hit up brick link for lots of those mountain pieces. I would also need some inspiration for a lego minifig version of a Rebel Transport or two. I want big enough for minifigures and some equipment but nothing too big like I've seen online. It would be about the length of the AT-AT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vader2001 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Very cool! Make sure when you are done with Galactus post a picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzetta Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 I halted the project because I was not satisfied with a red and blue version and the purple bricks are hard to come by let alone made in the pieces I would need. I also ran into a few problems designing the torso to emulate the patterns on his chest in a clean way that. What I was thinking of was a basic snot technique with a plate apron with wing parts. The head was attempted but I did not like it and was disassembled. I will pick it up again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried putting it through a virtual modeling program, via LDraw or MLCAD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried putting it through a virtual modeling program, via LDraw or MLCAD? Yes, the one thing I am completely inept at is linking up things in LDraw no matter how often I rotate the screen. I understand how to use it and have the mindset to realize what I want it to look like in three dimensional space. The problem is actually making everything align on the computer screen. I am always one stud off or it is it is a plate level too high or something like that and it throws everything off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working on a wing variation for set #7181 using MLCAD; a small group of parts wouldn't line up like I wanted... may take a bit of playing around with the program...

Bosco685 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I purchased the 'Clash of the Heroes' mini kit. For $13, Lego put a lot into this little set. There are 92 pieces. And even the capes are nice material. And the Batman figure can be with or without armor, and if you put his head under a little and then put his helmet back on his eyes glow. A really nice little set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandflea Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 On brickset.com they are saying that the Mystery Minifig series 15 are going to be recalled. Was reading about that situation on Bricklink .com after viewing your post, Vader... seemed confusing to me as to why TLG would recall those... Here's an update in regards to that "recall"...

Buzzetta Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Anyone making any purchases during the double VIP points promo? I'm thinking of picking up the Ghostbusters Firehouse. Been VERY tempted... but there were a couple of other things on my hitlist. Probably going to get the Modular Houses: Bank, another Ford Mustang, and maybe a couple of other things to kitbash.
