gylman Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 I love the base. Very very slick and attractive. It's the best part of the set. The top third of the tower just isn't right.... we need to find a way to make it less rectangular, introduce a hint of a gentle curve. Quote
xwingyoda Posted May 26, 2007 Author Posted May 26, 2007 OK guys, here is another wip pic for you. Note that I tried to have a little movement with the camera to make it look as a pic taken from a moving helicopter but the result was not as I envisionned it :-D And I was too lazy to retake it so its a definite one :-P i have some technical questions...Yoda, could you give us box size and weight... thx in advance *sweet* I will give you the boxes dimension no probs, as for the weight, it was really heavy but didn't weight it. I'll try to weight the finished tower for you - thats the best I can do regarding that issue ;-) The top third of the tower just isn't right.... we need to find a way to make it less rectangular, introduce a hint of a gentle curve. Actually I have nearly finished the second part of the Tower, and when you see it, its less blocky than it seems and really is a neat piece of construction ;-) So I imagine that the third part (i.e. the top part) will have the same look. More on that later ;-) And as a conclusion I will let mike have it ;-) On! *yoda* Quote
Asuka Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 did you mean these bricks ??? Exactly! A very nice and useful piece.... thanks for that link, szww! *y* The Eiffel Tower is a great source for these bricks in new gray, 64 of them.... Beatles on! :-) Quote
Norro Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 It'll be refreshing to get these pieces in dark bley now ;-) I'm going to ask very politely that you rephrase that remark! ;-) X-D X-D God Bless, Nathan Quote
Mr Hobbles Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 You can tell yoda is 900 years old, he's getting slow in his old age! Someone beat ya to it! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=255408 Here ya go *yoda*: :-P ;-) Quote
sam89 Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Awwww, poor Yoda. Oh well, I'm still looking forward to more pics from you! And it looks awesome in that gallery, by the way X-D Quote
Holodoc Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 You can tell yoda is 900 years old, he's getting slow in his old age! ... and his eyes are getting weaker and weaker... ;-) Oooooh - I need some :-P Strabismus On! Quote
Starwars4J Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 I'm going to ask very politely that you rephrase that remark! ;-) X-D X-D God Bless, Nathan Okay, it's nice that we can get that piece in a color that doesn't make me sick and can be used in modern MOCs, unlike that ancient old grey :-X (:-P you have to remember I do space MOCs too, but you still love me, right? :'-( :-P ) Quote
Mr Hobbles Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 It's true, bley is much more appealing to me than old grey. Old grey almost seems green in color...I can't explain it. Quote
dillthepill Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 This looks like such a nice set, thanks for this review *yoda* Quote
dunamis Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Very nice set! Thanks for the pics. Have to add this to the list of sets, but so far I have yet to see any of the new sets here in California. Quote
jngunsw Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 (edited) thx for the review mate.... the tower is awesome ^^ mmm.... it's a bit out of scale for my city .... well.... it's really nice though ^^ EDIT by *yoda* : I took out my whole first post ;-) There was no need for it in there ;-) Edited May 28, 2007 by xwingyoda Quote
