MOC: "The Batwing" - A Lego Movie MOC
Brickmasta replied to Brickmasta's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Awesome :) It has been so many years... glad to see it still brings joy! I still have the instructions available if anyone would like to buy them, just let me know - appreciate the gestures! -
UPDATE - March 2023 - INSTRUCTIONS are still available via PayPal donation - just let me know or write me a mail to boonatix@gmail.com :) Prevously: Working on the instructions is close to the finish... WIP - Instructions by Brickmasta on Flickr UPDATE - FINISHED on 22nd of April The Batwing - Front by Brickmasta on Flickr See the Album with details and more: https://www.flickr.c...th/13973416094/ ----------------------------------- I would like to present my current WIP to you all and love to get some feedback on it As soon as I saw the first Trailer for "The Lego Movie" I was in shock... a childhood dream coming true. With so many awesome creations in it. And one was standing out the first time I saw it: "The Batwing". I immediately knew that I needed to build this asap. Even though I just came back out of the dark ages by end of last year and was very fresh to all the building processes, parts and stuff... I thought It can't be that hard with having the model right in front of me on the screen. But it wouldn't be as easy as I thought... I researched all the internet for more pictures / trailers, fortunately there was more released with special scenes and stuff for this Batwing. I did frame by frame analysis and took a whole lot of screenshots, scratching my head how and where to start. I had the best material of one of the turbines, so I just got to work on one of those! But then I was kind of lost... not enough details, not enough shots of the Batwing. And then somebody on Flickr linked me a video to the Lego Movie Videogame. Woah! There was actually a building process you could unlock in there for it. I had to get the game, started gaming until I was able to unlock this plan and rebuild it over and over to see how they did it. And got to the point where I finally started with one of the wings! The Batwing - WIP #003 by Brickmasta at Flickr And the first challenge occured and I knew it would not be that simple / as easy as I hoped. The wing consists of 4 sections. And each section basically just featured 1 connector, making the whole wing completely unstable, bending and nearly breaking apart. That did not look good. So I got to understand that I won't be able to do a 1:1 true copy of it. The physics in the movie and the videogame are just easier / different because there is no real physics So I got to work again and tried and tried and thought and planned... and found a solution! First step was to double and exchange the connections for each section: The Batwing - WIP #004 by Brickmasta at Flickr But that was not quite enough and after some more thinking I had another idea, so I took the shot and gave the second wing a try with new elements in it and a stabilizer under the wing, connecting the sections and holding them together... and it worked out! "The Batwing" is going to be huge...! That is my progress so far. I am now starting to work on the cockpit and will try out the connections from wing to cockpit asap because I have a feeling they also won't hold up that good... each wing weighs around 260gr wich is around 0,6 pounds. That is quite a lot to be held together by slim Lego connectors. Lets see how this will work out then Let me know what you think! Appreciate every comment and input

Thanks :) The issue is more with the wings having absolutely zero support so you would need to construct a stand that is supporting both wings... then it would work :) -

Hi all together, some might remember me for building The Batwing last year and providing the PDF instructions Build your own Batwing! by Brickmasta Since nothing new from TLG is in sight for their precious TLM franchise, which is really disappointing for me since there is still so much stuff from TLM they could do, I decided to take matters in my own hands and continue on delivering some of the coolest movie creations. Next on my list: The Batmobile Lets get back to work then... by Brickmasta I learned quite a lot during reverse engineering The Batwing and fortunately I also required a lot of pieces I can now use for recreating The Batmobile. My goal for this build is to make it as professional as possible, sturdy but still with play features to make it attractive for children to drive it around without breaking apart. I started with the base structure and inside of it and already discovered a few changes I need to do to make it a reliable construction. WIP #1 - Lego Movie Batmobile by Brickmasta At the same time I am in progress of creating the digital PDF instruction manual, which enables me to experiment, build ahead and take a look what could work out and what not. WIP #2 - Lego Movie Batmobile Instruction by Brickmasta With all of this set I will hopefully be finished quicker than I was with The Batwing, with also being able to provide you the instruction PDF at the same time on my Brickmasta blog. Hope you enjoy it, next updates coming pretty soonish

2015 The LEGO Movie rumors and discussion
Brickmasta replied to just2good's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Seriously? You payed more for a 2015 set just to get it now? Dude, it is not running out anytime soon... just because it is out of stock does not mean it is not coming up again... I think back about the panic everyone had because of the Lego Ideas Exo Suit when it was sold out ;) And now nearly a year later in our Lego stores they had it 50% discounted for summer sale and a huge load of it... Lego sets are not out for only a few months or half a year... they are produced for a longer timeframe, anything else would be waste of resources and money. AndI think everyone should already be aware of that fact ;) If stuff is sold out, just order it in the Lego Shop online and keep calm and wait a bit ;) -

Brickmasta replied to Brickmasta's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Thx guys :) Well I just did it for fun not for the fame but I appreciate all your comments and am really happy that so many people enjoy the BATWING :) -
I am preparing to give this a try as i was bothering Dunkleosteus for weeks to share a tutorial about this technique usually it should work as LDD is checking for collisions / conflicts so I am not worrying about the angle of the hull when combining all the hinges with the brick ... and what I have seen, it is not supporting itself from bottom up to deck, but the other way around. You build the core deck structure, and the hull is then placed from top on the deck, the hull walls just "hanging" down. That is the theory... can't explain it any better, kinda lack the vocabular for that in english But I will try it as soon as I have all the parts and will provide all details and progress here
-
This is something that is also coming to my mind... but I will try it out also as soon as I have my bricks :D
-
Going to work on that then... need to buy thousands of them :D but really unfortunate that there are not many colors, black is good to get, maybe also grey and tan.. rest is low :(
-
I am hoping something of an exclusive set like the Imperial Flagship would come out again... big ship, lots of minifigs, cool sails and many details. That would be so awesome!

Couldn't agree more
