gerkenz Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Hi, a quick MOC I build today. A flat version of the spaceship from the coolest arcade game Galaga. Some more pictures: This is just the first quick prototype. The finished version will be a 1-stud or 2-stud version. I'm not sure about it right now. And I would like to build a huge display for the LEGO exhibition in Skaerbaek ( Denmark ) this year with some of you! If you are going to be in Skaerbaek this year and would like to be part of it with some tiles ( insects, black star tiles, score display chars, more black star tiles, bullets, a lot more black star tiles ) , please reply. If you can't visit the exhibition maybe collect tiles in your LUG and send them to me ( will be returned ). This could be a complete display: If you have any suggestions...please reply.

pluto7443 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Can't help but think of the Avengers right now... Quote
DraikNova Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 That's got to be the coolest project ever. Too bad you won't be able to make it move . Quote
gerkenz Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) @pluto: "Black Sabbath" and "Galaga" and Mechsuits...Yes! @DraikNova: That would be awesome...but I just calculated the display : one tile will be: 16 x 16 pixel 12,8 cm x 15,4 cm and that makes the whole display: 14 x 18 = 252 Tiles 224 x 288 pixel 179,2 cm x 277,2 cm If I assume the average brick is 1 x 3 we need about 21504 bricks. Hmm...that's something I never did before. And now it's even more help from you needed. Here is a better screenshot which shows the real pixels: Edited April 2, 2013 by gerkenz Quote
I Scream Clone Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I had a crack at a Galaga MOC a couple of years ago, maybe it will help you out with an alternate, studs up build. Fire the "Retro" rockets! by I Scream Clone, on Flickr Good luck! Quote
gerkenz Posted April 2, 2013 Author Posted April 2, 2013 Oh thanks - very nice colours, didn't found yours during research. I test build the spaceship this way too. I would like to have it with studs at the top to have the flat and shiny "screen" look. Quote
DraikNova Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Nice rendition. Anyway, with the studs facing upwards, the reflected lights give the impression of stars, which is closer to the actual game. Quote
