Like Wall-e, the building instructions are available for Eve : https://drive.google...WjRkc0ZwRUZQZDA The connection between the head and the body uses a "Fiber Optics Cable wide" approximately 4L long which is not shown into the list of parts .

Thanks. In the mean time, Wall-e met somebody Eve and Wall-e by Daniel Stoeffler, sur Flickr When Eve poses like a top model This model is inspired by the one of Legohaulic (https://flic.kr/p/jabWx3) with modified face and arms.

Usually, my preference goes to Star Wars droids but this time, I focussed on a more terrestrial one : Wall-e at a mid-size. This MOC has been done startinf from an original design by Professor and the fully operating tracks system has been designed by oeuf_en_gelee from the lego topic of the HFR forum.

Tan seems clearly to be the best choice, not because it is the most accurate, but because it correspond more to the period where the cathedral has been build (gray is for concrete). For the roof, you will have to take care of the availibility of the parts before choosing the colour : maybe light bluish gray. For the MOC, I think you should start with the roof because this will fix the size of the whole model. For the "round" end, at this scale, à 45 degrees section could be enough. I had the same concern with Notre Dame de Paris ( http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=113137 ) where you can probably find some ideas for your build.

Thanks. This has been done in collaboration with the LegoStore of SOouest ( http://www.soouest.c...e-boutique-lego ) which I don't known because I live near Strasbourg. This project has been initiated by Stéphane Roy alias Stephane769. Thanks. Thanks. Maybe another cathedral .

Thank you all . This cathedral can be viewed at the entrance of the SOouest commercial center at Levallois Perret where a Legostore is located. This small, but valuable, "exposition" displays the Josephine Baker House (by Archiwheel), the Centre Pompidou (by Fujiia), the Arc de Triomphe (by Rhakam), the Bilbiothèque François Mitterrand (by Stephane769) and this Notre Dame de Paris cathedral.

Thanks to Stéphane for having managed this project.

I would like to see if there is another way to do it than what I did : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=76694

A small "update" with a red arm according to preview images of Star Wars VII C-3PO with red arm as expected in Star Wars VII by Daniel Stoeffler, on Flickr

One word : wonderful

Taps are maybe a little bit too big. You catch it perfectly .

Very nice microscale MOC . The only point I do not really like are the too squared flying buttress but I do not have an alternative to suggest .

Don't forget that it was done for a contest which means short time and limited stock of parts

I am pleased to introduce you my latest Architecture MOC : Notre Dame de Paris Notre Dame de Paris (LEGO Architecture) by Daniel Stoeffler, on Flickr The model uses 2200 parts and the building process can be followed into .A building instruction and a file of the Bricklink inventory are available.

Finally, the model is nearly at the same scale as Notre Dame de Strasbourg Notre Dame de Paris vs Notre Dame de Strasbourg (LEGO Architecture) by Daniel Stoeffler, on Flickr

Hi Gaut, Thank you for your interest into this version of C-3PO. Concerning the hands, I think that the exoforce one, despite their more suited colour, will give too huge fingers to C-3PO. I do not agree that the head is too big or too long : when you compare to the blueprints you can see it is a little bit too large. C-3PO head is made of two parts : a forward one which is thinner that the backward one and this is what I have tried to include. For the nose, I have shown another version without the stud and with a smaller mouth. Concerning studs, my feeling is that they are too large for appearing on the torso and make sense only when there is a circular details on the droid. A C-3PO which matches with my old R2-D2 was clearly the first goal of my build .

Really nice. I think it is difficult to do it better.

Both droids are now on Ideas https://ideas.lego.com/projects/101629 and are awaiting your support .

Thank you. Nice analysis. I am glad to see that you enjoy some particular details liek the angled battery. For some particular details, I had to use cuted hoses like for the shoulder. One important thing is also to get light arms so that the friction at the shoulder can hold it. I agree, the straight horizontal rim has to be improved : I will try mudguard or more simply curbed slopes. For the torso panels, I don't know because I want to avoid studs to appear. I am not sure to see what you are meaning : which v-shapes part do you mean and how do you suggest to use the cheese grates (part 61408, isn't it) ? Why not but C-3PO is based on a human with 5 fingers per hand not like Jar Jar who has only 4 : the 5 fingers contribute to reinforce its "humanity". I think it is not possible to include the dot because I need the open stud of the jumper to fix the minifig hands. And for the faint v-shape, I have nothing to fix it. This is the limit of such a size : you do not have too much possible attachments and you have too choose which element fits the best and sometimes, you have to drop some details. I don't think that this could be done because the face is only 3 studs, 3 studs high and 2 plates are allowed for the thickness. The bolts are an element I tried to include but I finally gave up because of the need to include a 14704 1x2 plate for fixing the head to the torso which takes to much room. On the contrary, I like to have an honest feedback and suggestions for possible improvments. This is another reason for which I made the instruction because it is essential to see the inner build. As you know certainly, first we are looking for a shape, then a colour and finally how to fix it : this is a similar challenge to the REC where we are in competition but I think I am not really a potential winner . Thanks. However, for personnal reasons, I have decided to no more participate to the TechLUG Star Wars contest. So, my next Star Wars MOC will nothing have to do with Kashyyyk, sorry. It took me 7 weeks to build the nectar and 7 weeks for C-3PO : it looks like one MOC every 2 months. I am now "working" on a very high speed train and an Architecture Building. So, I would say that the next Star Wars MOC will come for the end of this year. Thank you for having blogged it.

Some remarks concerned the head which was not found very nice because of its too large mouth and the too squared face. With the help of oeuf_en_gelee from the HFR french forum, I propose you an alternative head. What do you think about this new head ?

Thanks. The building instruction files were not accessible to everybody : this is now fixed.
