The Mugbearer Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) The Macrofigures is a name of my new LEGO modelling style that represents action figure of humanized characters from different fictions. Macrofigs has many points if articulations that provides maximal articulation. The idea of making such a figures has came to me after meeting the Herobrine's Phenomenon from Minecraft game. I wanted to build him just for fun. AS the result, I has made a few different macrofigures, and, possibly, will make more. 1) First of all, I want to introduce you the main Minecraft character, Steve: As you can see, Macrofigure has 3x3x3 head with different details and attached plates that imitate hair. Light-blue shirt, jeans and black boots. As for accessories, I've decided to give him an iron pickax. Get the LXF-file 2) The next macrofigure that has been built on the base of MC Char is Herobrine himself. Herobrine is a mysterious 'ghost of Minecraft'. They say that 'Herobrine' was a nickname of brother of Notch, the one who developed Minecraft. This creature appears in singleplayer worlds and multiplayer servers either ans scares players. He's appearing only in full fog and doing nothing, or attacking players as mob or as player with nickname "Herobrine". No one can ban him or track his IP, he's appearing again and again. Thank God he's killable. Get the LXF-file 3) The third model I've made is a Zombie. Get the LXF-file 4) The fourth Minecraft-based model is a Skeleton archer: Get the LXF-file 5) And, at last, the Creeper. Creeper is an actual symbol of Minecraft game across the world. It is tall armless monster, than moves silently. It can sneak up behind you and then spell loud "Tssssss!" and then it'll explode! Damn, I hate and love those creatures! Get the LXF-file Now, a few Minecraft-offtopic Macrofigures. 1) Master Chief from Halo franchise. He's a genetically augmented soldier known as 'The Spartan' and has saved the Universe for a many times. I really like this guy. Get the LXF-file 2) The epic and double-epic, most wanted hero of all time! Duke Nukem! Get the LXF-file 3) From the wildest corners of Coprulu Sector - StarCraft Marine (possibly, Tychus Findley himself)! Get the LXF-file 4) He's green, he's big, he's angry, but he's not a Hulk! Meet the Ork Grunt! Get the LXF-file 5) Golden armor and red shorts! Behold, The Spartan Hoplite! Get the LXF-file I hope you'll enjoy these figures. C&C's are welcome!

Aethersprite Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Since they're not in Bionicle/HF style, I'm not sure if they belong in this forum. Nevertheless, I think they're fantastic! I love the design of these 'macrofigs' as you call them. Master Chief looks really good. My only gripe is that the forearms are too fat. Guess that can't be helped, but it still bothers me a little.

The Mugbearer Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 Since they're not in Bionicle/HF style, I'm not sure if they belong in this forum. They are still large-scale figures. I can't figure out, to which forum does those models belongs. Any thoughts? =) Nevertheless, I think they're fantastic! I love the design of these 'macrofigs' as you call them. Master Chief looks really good. Thank you very much. Maybe I should upload Macrofig doodle in order to allow any one to make their own? =) My only gripe is that the forearms are too fat. Guess that can't be helped, but it still bothers me a little. I am not sure it is possible to decrease the forearms with no losing in design. Quote
CabooseBM Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I really like these, I kind of want to build some as humans for my Hero Factory stuff. =D Though a couple of things bother me, for one, the Minecraft Guy's shirt is all the way tucked in, and well, you just don't have time for that when you're mining and crafting and running away from creepers. Speaking of creepers, the proportions on yours is... Off, to say the least. The body's too wide, which throws off the design, and I'm not a huge fan of how you did the face. Overall, I really like these and I think they're pretty fantastic, I want to try and build one in meatspace, and see how well it works. I'll get back to you on that when I do. I'd also like to fiddle with some of the design aspects, and if you don't mind, post them here. Quote
SpiderSpaceman Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Lovin these. though the pickaxe reminded me how sad it is that that version of the 1x1 rounds are so scarce. Quote

CabooseBM Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) Maybe I just should post Macrofig doodle? =) I'd appreciate that, but I assumed that Minecraft Guy was basic enough to work off of. Edited June 9, 2011 by CabooseBM Quote
Bioniclefan Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I love Minecraft! Those figutes are great and I especially like how the skeleton turned out. Quote
TheDesuComplex Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 These are some very excellent MOCs. I like the skeleton the best out of all of them. By the way, the main character in MC is known as 'Steve'. And I agree with CabooseDM that the Creeper's proportions are way off. The body needs to be the width of the head and around half the thickness. Oh, and the feet shouldn't be so stubby. Here's a picture: Quote
-R8- Posted June 18, 2011 Posted June 18, 2011 I really like these. You've managed to pull off both detail and flexibility in a rather small MOC, which is just fantastic. I'd love to see other characters made in this style. Quote
Refy L.S. Posted June 19, 2011 Posted June 19, 2011 These are great! The possibility and detail of these figures is just fabulous. Quote
ZORK64 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 They look great. I really like the Master Chief. Quote
The Mugbearer Posted June 24, 2011 Author Posted June 24, 2011 I've updated the first post with few new models! Also, Creeper has been re-designed! Quote
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 Icredible work! The macrofigures I like the most is Duke Nukem! Thanks for sharing! Quote
