Hello,

I updated my C-3PO. So I've updated the pictures, video, etc.

Here is the final model :

The new video :

- galerie Brickshelf : http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=553927

The instruction will be updated within the next months.

The things I have updated :

- the biggest update is on the arms. There are now more realistic, and totally articulated

- the printed mouth. And for that I would like to thank my friend Efjie. If you need to print some custom parts, you may be in touch with him at the following email address :

==> efjie-brick[at]outlook[dot]com

- the overall position is different, especially on the legs. It enables me to make better hips and a more stable model

- some minor (well, not so minor :o ) updates here and there (head, shoulders, groin).

Hope you like it more. I do. :D

Anio

Amazing work Anio! I didn't think that you could improve on the original, but it's now a genuine masterpiece :wub:

I dread to think how much this would cost to build, but perhaps one day....!

Amazing! Did you consider giving him a silver leg, as in the movie?

Thanks. :)

No. I prefer the Episode III version.

It looks more consistent on a Lego model.

So not an Episode VII one with a red arm as well .

God, no.

That's so ugly.

Great job you have here!

One question,did this model has any articulation on the legs like Bionicle and Hero Factory sets?

It is articulated everywhere, except the knees (to keep the model stable).

See video above.

great job

God, no.

That's so ugly.

Oh, I'd agree with that.

WOW! That is spectacular! Great job!

God, no.

In my opinion,that's what a 74 years old droid should look like.It make no sense for C-3P0 that lived for almost 70 years still has shiny armor and still don't have broken arms and legs.

Huh?... It's like saying that a 70 year old car MUST be damaged and rusty. What about well maintained and cared for car (or droid)? Shiny metal coating can be restored and damaged parts can be repaired.

And to stay on topic: Anio's droid is simply beautiful!

In my opinion,that's what a 72 years old droid should look like.It make no sense for C-3P0 that lived for almost 70 years still has shiny armor and still don't have broken arms and legs.

Who said I was trying to reproduce a 70 year old droid ?

Moreover, keep in mind that C-3PO has never been as rusty as when he was 1 year old. haha.

Yes, but Protocol Droids are 10 a penny, getting a matching arm and leg should't be too hard.

I love the clean chrome look.

Amazing, just amazing! The all work with golden bricks is very nice and rare at the same time. Congrats!

Thank you. :)

The gold chrome is not a very common color indeed. We don't see it often, especially with such quantity.

But as it is a "custom" color (it does exist in TLG, but people can reproduce the process), it will never be discontinued. It is even possible to have every part you want in gold chrome.

So technically speaking, gold chrome is one of the colors with the widest range of bricks available.

Paradoxical, isn't it ?
