Lobot Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 This is my entry for the Episode II CB. This is built using a couple of screenshots from the film. It's the part where C-3PO gets his head ripped-off in classic GL comedic-style, allowing for yet more (humour) later in the film. Perhaps it's me but didn't this sort of happen again in Episode V....you'd have thought they would have built him a bit better. But I digress....! I tried to make it fairly accurate, but I added a little 'artistic licence' in a few places to make it a bit more interesting! I'm moderately pleased with the results, illuminated with 6 sets of Technic LEDs. I wanted to make the 'welding arms' better, but was limited by a lack of talent and parts! Anyway, I hope that you like it. C & C welcome My favourite angle: From above: Another angle: Side view: Cheers, Robin Quote
Bilbo Baggins Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Awesome I have always loved this scene. How many pieces you used? Quote
HawkLord Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Very well done. The lights really make it work. Quote
JackJonespaw Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Man, I love this scene! Great MOC! I really like how you have your Geonosian BDs and the tan ones together - it looks more natural. Quote
Mr Man Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 This is really good, I like the way it's lit, and the first shot looks like a shot fro the film. Quote
Praiter Yed Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 I think you can be more than 'moderately pleased' Lobot - it looks really good Quote
russianhill Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 I think you can be more than 'moderately pleased' Lobot - it looks really good Oh my, that is outstanding! Could be a real set - beautiful. Quote
M<0><0<DSWIM Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Very accurate and nicely built! The lights take this to an awesome level! Quote
Vindicare Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 A cool MOC of a fun scene. You definitely captured the factory look in this. The archways and the lights are a nice touch. That first picture is a great one. Quote
CamelBoy68 Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 good work Lobot.. A quick question: are all the lights connected to the one battery box ? and if so how many lights could you possibly run.... cheers Quote
Lobot Posted May 30, 2012 Author Posted May 30, 2012 Thanks for the comments everyone, really appreciated I originally had far bigger plans for this, but I'm buying parts for another Lego-related project which is taking up most of my spare time & money! A quick question: are all the lights connected to the one battery box ? and if so how many lights could you possibly run.... All 6 sets are running from 1 Lego 9v battery box, without any problems. I haven't tried but I'm confident that it would take more as they're very efficient. I bought one of the Technic diggers (8043) last year and it ran 4 motors and 4 'actuators' (basically hydraulic rams but without the oil) all from one box. Quote
