Aliencat Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 There's a contest going on over at LowLUG to build an existing set in a different theme. So I figured I'd give Nexo Knights a try, here's the Nexo Knights Super Angry Mega Space Laser, based on set 5972 Container Heist. Quote
Rayskull Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Wow I really really like this! Wow! This has inspired me! ★★★★★ Beautiful!!! Edited November 19, 2015 by Rayskull Quote
TheLazyChicken Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Wow nice job! You did really well making it look like the other one, keep up the great work! Quote
x105Black Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I'd much prefer these knights in the Nexo Knights theme. Great job in working at combining elements. Nice work! Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Very nice! Although, might want to wait for Nexo Knight figures to actually come out before submitting. Quote
Kwatchi Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Nice work. I liked your aches at the back especially. Quote
Rayskull Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I can not wait to get to LDD tonight and tryout some of these methods, I see so much interior potential! Super thanks! Quote
Aliencat Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 Thanks for the great comments :D @gamejutzu, you're right, do you know where I can get my hands on Nexo Knights figs this week? I can not wait to get to LDD tonight and tryout some of these methods, I see so much interior potential! Super thanks! Cool, show me what you come up with! Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 @gamejutzu, you're right, do you know where I can get my hands on Nexo Knights figs this week? Unfortunately tags don't work on Eurobricks, rather quoting me would place this message in my notifications tab. When is the contest deadline? Because usually whenever a set wave is this close (December) people say they found a fig or two online or at K-mart or something. It was the case with Ninjago. I can't find anything online, it would be rather unprofessional saying this is a Nexo Knights creation when the pilots are regular knights. Instead, you could slightly change the name of the project, or have there be no drivers. Or you can make a custom knight minifigure that looks kind of futuristic, by combining torsos, arms and legs of other figures. For example, if you have electro Batman, his arm and leg pieces would be very handy. I'm sure you can find other tech minifig parts as well. You can also try Ultra Agents. I don't have any sets there, but it seems like it can work, since figs like Tremor, Drillex, Terrabyte, and the Ultra Agent's leg pieces (all the mentioned figure's legs) are pretty tech-like. Quote

They look pretty much in the exact style of the other Nexo Knights to me. Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) They look pretty much in the exact style of the other Nexo Knights to me. It's your opinion, but to me they don't look the part. You can tell that they aren't futuristic. Sure it wouldn't be a problem usually, but he is entering it in an event. Giving it a name that includes "Nexo Knights" where there are none to be found is a bit strange to me. It's like making a spinning pagoda or dojo, and use the name "Ninjago", when there aren't Ninjago characters in it, just 1990's ninja or a custom ninja. Edited November 19, 2015 by gamejutzu Quote
Rayskull Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Wow you guys that's unfair, he did an excellent job with existing pieces. Quote
x105Black Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 They look pretty much in the exact style of the other Nexo Knights to me. Better, even. I can see that adding tech elements to the characters could help them look more like the Nexo Knights, but this build would fit right in with that theme. Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Better, even.Agreed. I'd much rather play with these, than with the official sets. Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Agreed. I'd much rather play with these, than with the official sets. ohhh Thought you meant the figs. Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 ohhh Thought you meant the figs. I meant both, actually. I prefer both the model and the figs to the official theme. Quote
Rayskull Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the great comments :D @gamejutzu, you're right, do you know where I can get my hands on Nexo Knights figs this week? Cool, show me what you come up with! Okay forgive me for stealing some ideas: Very unfinished, but I'm super happy with it thanks for showing me how its done! Edited November 30, 2015 by Rayskull Quote
mediumsnowman Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Excellent creation paying homage to an excellent set. Quote
Aliencat Posted November 21, 2015 Author Posted November 21, 2015 Thanks for the comments :D @Rayskull: that looks way more Nexo Knights themed than mine, nice one! Quote
Rayskull Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the comments :D @Rayskull: that looks way more Nexo Knights themed than mine, nice one! Thanks, it totally wouldn't exist without your idea first! I'm going to remove my creation from the thread. I think it would most prudent. :) Edited November 30, 2015 by Rayskull Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Makes me wish Nexo Knights actually does this. I still recommend getting Nexo Knights figs before submitting. Quote
