Rayskull Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) I've been too excited about Nexo knights, here's my Space Tower: ROOK. (Just updated the front facade) http://www.brickshel...?f=560273��(LDD File included) Edited November 15, 2015 by Rayskull Quote
gamejutzu Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Nice mini model. I could see this being a build in Lego Dimensions when Nexo Knights gets added. Quote
Rayskull Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks! it does have a video game look to it. I just updated the front facade and top hatch. Might order pieces tomorrow. Oh wait, it is Minifig Scale you know. Edited November 15, 2015 by Rayskull Quote
dannallcorn Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I love this. It could easily be an escape pod for the fortrex as well as a standalone flyer. Quote
DraikNova Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I like this. The name is kind of ironic, seeing as this'd be perfect for a large Nexo Knights' chess set's tower pieces. I love the little touches, like the jets and the little hatch at the front. Quote
Rayskull Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 Thanks guys!, I'm worried about durability working on version 3 Quote
Rayskull Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 Massive redesign to fix durability, still working on interrior Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Massive redesign to fix durability, still working on interrior I personally like the first version better. This one may be more durable, but that one had more of a Castle feeling to it. Quote
BrickJagger Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I agree with Lind. The original has more detail and looks better, but they both look good. Quote
DraikNova Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 It looks pretty good, a lot better than that redesign, but I'm not sure if it measures up to the version at the top of the topic. Quote

Also, the folder for the LDD file doesn't seem to be public yet? Quote

Also, the folder for the LDD file doesn't seem to be public yet? Should be approved soon, The original has 4 sides that float, they are resting on weight bearing portions and hinged all the way through, But that means they might wiggle and still destabilize it,I really wish I could make those more stable. If it were a static structure I'd say it was fine. But yeah you're right the original is a bold unmistakable look. Thanks again, for having a look. Anyone have a more stable formation for hinged sides like the original, I tried a bunch of ways myself but I didn't crack it. The last one is super small but sturdy, BTW my inspiration is one of the spires from Fortrex. I try to match its style. The last one even has the yellow bits in the cracks, as seen on Fortrex stickers. Edited November 16, 2015 by Rayskull Quote
Rayskull Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Your feed back has helped me to create: I think it captures the best of both worlds, I've got some interior and top level work to do, but I really like this one. Edited November 17, 2015 by Rayskull Quote
DraikNova Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Very nice. The flag gave it a lot of Nexo Knights feel, though. Was there a structural reason for removing it? Quote

gamejutzu Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Thanks! it does have a video game look to it Kind of Ironic really. You keep rebuilding the ROOK. Like three times already. Sound similar? Quote
Nabii Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 That third version with the dark blue was spot on, looks a bit like one of the unused sketch models in the Nexo Knights area at work. Nice build! Quote
gamejutzu Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Are you gonna change this up, with the release of the Nexo Knights sets? Edited December 22, 2015 by gamejutzu Quote
Rayskull Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 I did, I made a much larger version, but I'm frustrated because sourcing bricks for the larger one was getting ridiculous. I wish there was a better way to source bricks on BL http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=117500#entry2400307 I tried a couple of different colors but there are a lot of different types of bricks, making things difficult. Anyone have a better way? Quote
