Franklinw1234 Posted May 7, 2017 As everyone knows, you cannot find any force ghost figures, and they are figures that everyone wants Lego to make. So, This weekend I decided to 3D print the force ghosts from episode 6. I created Anakin, Obi Wan, and Yoda. I had to edit a few of the part designs to make them work, but in the end they turned out good. First I printed out a statue that couldn't move and drew on a face for Obi Wan (this isn't the finished one) http://m.imgur.com/0bJTQxh?r Next I printed out a body and head for a regular figure and painted on a face for Obi Wan and printed out a Yoda head and painted it too. (Only could find a Clone Wars version, but it still looks good). http://m.imgur.com/GHUljho? Then I tried printing out legs, but the pegs for them wouldn't connect into the connector. So, I had to modify short legs so they would be longer and not have a connector, so it would not have be able to fit a peg in. As you can see I had to find the correct scaling (ones too big, ones too small). http://m.imgur.com/JuxUx2o?r Finally I edited arms so that the hands would permanently be stuck in (just a preference). And I worked on Anakin and painted his face and drew on his scar. http://m.imgur.com/3RYQfNE?r Out of all of them Yoda or Anakin are my favorites. Obi Wan is going to have to have a different face, because his eyes are too far up and I can't put his hair on all the way without them not showing up. I will update you guys when I fix him. This all required tons of sanding for the connections and everything, like the head peg, the legs, and arms. I'm pretty satisfied how they all turned out. I am thinking of making a Qui Gon Jinn ghost in the upcoming days. Here's pictures of each individual figure http://m.imgur.com/vOWJ57V?r http://m.imgur.com/6yuPv8c?r http://m.imgur.com/cQgSOuR?r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smitty500 Posted May 9, 2017 I love to 3D print. and these turned out pretty good as far as 3d printing goes. But as actual minifigs they kind of look like horrific/scary force ghosts. lol. Though these are a cheap solution to fill the void. Personally I would try to mold transparent minifigs. It's a good start though to custom figs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGeneralMoe Posted May 9, 2017 Interesting how they turned out. I would have had the detail engrained into the figures instead of painted to keep the transparency. A good start! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
