Stegoceras Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Since I have seen more pop-up here, I decided to show mine of as well. My Chibi N1 Starfighter. Yep, they fit in there... Quote
KingDom Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Really like this MOC, probably the best 'chibi' so far that I've seen. Can someone tell me what these 'chibi' models are? They all look really good and I want to see some more of them. EDIT: Found 'em Edited January 29, 2011 by KingDom Quote

This is definately one of the cutest entries in the contest! You definately captured the look along with all the details and shapes. Quote
Masked Builder Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 This contest sure is turning out some cute ships! I love what you done to this one. Short and fat all the way! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Heh. I love it. Shaping is good. I love those huge 4-wide engines, but I'd remove those 1 x 1 Cones from the fronts. I know what you were going for there, but it doesn't look right to me. Quote
Fuzzylegobricks Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Wow For such a small model there is a lot of details! Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Very nice Chibi N1 Stegoceras! What's good about this entry is that not only were you able to fit young Ani in this miniaturized starfighter but also Artoo. Good job and good luck! Quote

EDIT: Found 'em As far as I'm aware, 'chibi' is essentially just super-deformed, exaggerated proportioned character models eg oversized heads, short limbs etc. Quote
Fallenangel Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) As far as I'm aware, 'chibi' is essentially just super-deformed, exaggerated proportioned character models eg oversized heads, short limbs etc. Chibi is the romanization of a Japanese word corresponding to "small". (Thus "Seru Chibi Muun" was translated to "Sailor Mini Moon".) The fact that it is associated with "super-deformed" in western nations probably has something to do with Japanese animations such as Lucky Star. Edited January 30, 2011 by fallenangel327 Quote
KimT Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 Awesome chibi'ing of the N1 Stegoceras blogged Quote
Stegoceras Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Thanks for the kind words all, appreciate it. Heh. I love it. Shaping is good. I love those huge 4-wide engines, but I'd remove those 1 x 1 Cones from the fronts. I know what you were going for there, but it doesn't look right to me. Initially I was planning on using one of those smaller 2x2 dishes in front of it, but alas I didn't have any in old gray and only 1 in new gray, but definitely not enough parts to make the whole front new gray. So I opted for the cone in failure of a better part cause without anything there it simply didn't look right to me. Very nice Chibi N1 Stegoceras! What's good about this entry is that not only were you able to fit young Ani in this miniaturized starfighter but also Artoo. Good job and good luck! One of the rules actually, had to include pilot + droid, it was quite a challenge to get R2 in, but that's half the fun of the build (or maybe even three quarters of it for me) Quote
Praiter Yed Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 That's one chubby little chibi. I like how fat the engines are and good work fitting R2 Quote
M'Kyuun Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Love it! Great "chibi" model. I built a "chibified" X-wing and Lambda shuttle years ago in LDD (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=348505)when the Death Star playset came out, to match the awesome mini-Tie-Fighter in that set. This model makes me wish LEGO had continued the minifig sized mini-ships as maybe a stand alone SW line. If this was an official set, I'd scoop a couple up. Again, great job! Quote
Stardusty Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 It looks great (and cute). I didn't know that you have builded it. Quote
