HenrikLego Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 Didn't see the new comments before now. Thanks to all. A parts list and building instructions can be provided (LDD) if someone wants that. It's a bit bigger than the Yoda-sculpture. Here is an comparison: The manager at the cinema where the model is exhibited wanted a Lego BB-8 in his office, so I made him a smaller one. Here it is: Actually this model uses the exact same building technique. Quote
bricksfan Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Woah you're a really great designer Quote
Cjd223 Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 This is simply amazing! An enormous BB-8 to say the least! Quote
Kristof Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 Although it's 'just a sphere with dome on top', you did a great job designing all these patterns and features on it. It looks so real one would expect it to roll away :D Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Came across this while looking at Anio's version. My first thoughts were, "This is big!". I can only begin to imagine the amount of plates that went into this! Quote
Jego Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I'm speechless. Real size R2D2 and Deathstars child. It's so big that it make it's body it's almost perfectly round. Quote
mediumsnowman Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Wow, this is awesome! I'd love to see what it would look like all tiled up. I'd also like to see a LDD file for the small one; that one I can afford to buy the parts for! Edited December 3, 2015 by mediumsnowman Quote
Pcm979 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Your manager isn't alone- I want that Baby BB too! Quote
HenrikLego Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 Thanks for new comments, didn't see them before now. Instructions for small version can be found here: http://www.henriklorentzen.no/lego/bb8.pdf Quote
All in the Reflexes Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 BB8 Christmas tree decoration!!!! :wub: Quote
Cjd223 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Is it possible to get the LDD File for this? As in the larger one? Edited December 8, 2015 by Cjd223 Quote
HenrikLego Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Sure! Here is the LDD-file for the small one: http://www.henriklor...b-8-midsize.lxf (note: The round orange 6x6 pieces is done by using 2x "Plate, Round Half 3 x 6 Cutout". This part was not available in LDD since it is so new, so I had to use a replacement that don't exist in orange). Here is the LDD-file for the big one: http://www.henriklor...-8-fullsize.lxf I should note that the LDD-file for the big one not is complete: - The skeleton holding the thing together has been replaced by another mechanism. I made this after the skeleton in LDD failed to hold the thing stable. I'll update the LDD with the new skeleton when I got the time. (not before christmas) - I have done some final modifications to the front of the head after i built it in LDD. And BTW, here is a video showing the big one: https://www.youtube....h?v=pSdpf3gfWuA And a video showing the building of the small one (done by a friend of mine): https://www.youtube....h?v=UbWX8W5Pyys Edited December 8, 2015 by HenrikLego Quote
autoreverse Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 The big one is simply beautiful. Good work on the small one too ! The studded head works surprisingly well even at this scale. Thank you for sharing ! Quote
Zaael Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Wow awesome build!! Both of them! And many thanks for the instructions! :) Quote
Chilly_Productions Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 10/10, would look at again, m8. Seriously though, great model!. Quote
Cyanide-Tipped Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 Looks like the baby BB-8 had himself an accident... j/k...great job and ty for the LDDs! Quote
leongsteven Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing the LDDs. Quote
HenrikLego Posted December 11, 2015 Author Posted December 11, 2015 Thank you for all your kind words. The small version has been accepted in to Lego Ideas. All support is greatly appreciated! Link: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/124592 Quote
HenrikLego Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 My BB-8 just wanted to wish everyone a nice Christmas and thank for all the support so far! Quote
BrickMark-I Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Gorgeous! Absolutely fantastic!!!!! :thumbup: Quote
HenrikLego Posted December 30, 2015 Author Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) The big BB-8 has been exhibited at my local cinema for over a month now. The other day it had an little accident as me and some friends of mine was going to take a picture together with it. One of us bumped in to it and it fell on the ground. Some minor building to do the following day (to say the least...). But now it's complete again, sturdier than before. Will put it back up at the cinema tomorrow where it will be until end of January. Edited December 30, 2015 by HenrikLego Quote
Fletcher Floyd Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Wow, this is great! I love BB-8, and so I love your excellent creation! Very very good!! Quote
Brickthus Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Really nice. How well would the sphere roll, supposing you could make the head stay on top? Mark Quote
