Franklinw1234 Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 As everyone knows, you cannot find any force ghost figures, and they are figures that everyone wants Lego to make. So, This weekend I decided to 3D print the force ghosts from episode 6. I created Anakin, Obi Wan, and Yoda. I had to edit a few of the part designs to make them work, but in the end they turned out good. First I printed out a statue that couldn't move and drew on a face for Obi Wan (this isn't the finished one) http://m.imgur.com/0bJTQxh?r Next I printed out a body and head for a regular figure and painted on a face for Obi Wan and printed out a Yoda head and painted it too. (Only could find a Clone Wars version, but it still looks good). http://m.imgur.com/GHUljho? Then I tried printing out legs, but the pegs for them wouldn't connect into the connector. So, I had to modify short legs so they would be longer and not have a connector, so it would not have be able to fit a peg in. As you can see I had to find the correct scaling (ones too big, ones too small). http://m.imgur.com/JuxUx2o?r Finally I edited arms so that the hands would permanently be stuck in (just a preference). And I worked on Anakin and painted his face and drew on his scar. http://m.imgur.com/3RYQfNE?r Out of all of them Yoda or Anakin are my favorites. Obi Wan is going to have to have a different face, because his eyes are too far up and I can't put his hair on all the way without them not showing up. I will update you guys when I fix him. This all required tons of sanding for the connections and everything, like the head peg, the legs, and arms. I'm pretty satisfied how they all turned out. I am thinking of making a Qui Gon Jinn ghost in the upcoming days. Here's pictures of each individual figure http://m.imgur.com/vOWJ57V?r http://m.imgur.com/6yuPv8c?r http://m.imgur.com/cQgSOuR?r Quote

Smitty500 Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 I love to 3D print. and these turned out pretty good as far as 3d printing goes. But as actual minifigs they kind of look like horrific/scary force ghosts. lol. Though these are a cheap solution to fill the void. Personally I would try to mold transparent minifigs. It's a good start though to custom figs. Quote

TheGeneralMoe Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Interesting how they turned out. I would have had the detail engrained into the figures instead of painted to keep the transparency. A good start! Quote
