msx80 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I experimented with this building tecnique that uses mostly clips and rods and less studs. I hoped to obtain some kind of wireframe, metallic struts feeling :) I kind of like the way it ended, even if it's not exacly the result i was searching. What do you guys think? More pics here Quote
PaddyBricksplitter Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Looks really good. Like a flying go cart or something. It's a interesting technique. I would like to try it somethime. Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I think it works, and looks great! Perfect expression on Benny! Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Really interesting shape. Nicely done Quote
Andy D Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Very interesting technique! I think it works well. Also the three turkey legged animal (?), (robot dog?) in your sig line is really interesting, a real head scratcher. Andy D Edited February 24, 2015 by Andy D Quote
LittleJohn Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I think it looks great! I really like the blue and black highlights Quote
msx80 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Thanks guys! So happy you liked it :) Very interesting technique! I think it works well. Also the three turkey legged animal (?), (robot dog?) in your sig line is really interesting, a real head scratcher. Thanks :) That dog happened almost casually. i was fiddling with some random pieces.. I show it around just for fun but i'm secretly much more proud of it than i shoud be :) I think it has a cool zombie/robot style, reminds me of the dogs from quake2 Quote
Kodan Black Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Cool technique, reminds me of an Ariel Atom. Except in space. Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Great work. I should try that style sometime. Quote
kurigan Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Well it's hare not to share Benny's enthusiasm for what ever he's geeking out about at that moment. Once you get past that, though this is still an intriguing design. I share the impression of a space go kart, and I like it. It's fascinating how intricate it looks but still doesn't use many more parts than a old style brick-built version would be. This could inspire a whole new trend in MOCs if not theme for TLG. I too may start messing around with something like this technique. Thanks for sharing! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 The rods and clips give a very neat look here Benny seems to be enjoying himself as well Quote
Kelso Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Looks great and the expression on his face fits perfect! Quote
msx80 Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 This could inspire a whole new trend in MOCs if not theme for TLG. That would be super awesome! :) Let me immortalize this moment by naming the technique.. uh.. the "clip'n'rod technique"! You read it here first :) Jokes aside, thanks again everybody! I've prepared instructions for the model, they'll be soon on Rebrickable Quote
Razi Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 This. Is. Awesome. Reminds me of the exo-suit! This build is on-point! Quote
___ Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Well, as for the concept itself: astonishingly great, inovative and all - I like it very very much! BUT as of a model from the "model-handling' point-of-you: all those tiny small pieces that could look very impressing for the eyes (in which they really do in this particular case) they are very bad for practical use if we are saying someone should play with it, cos they tend to fall off all the time etc., until you plan not for playing but just for a pure presentation, then all this "small-tiny-bricks" complaining is pointless, of course... Anyway, fine job Quote
