You have no idea how hard it was to make those giant continuous armor plates that are upside down in that picture.

The creator has two modes, free form kind of thing and "creator" where "creator" mode is for if you plan to actually make it a custom kit, and "creator" mode barely has half as many parts to work with. But somehow I made those armor plates out of dozens smaller parts with two layers overlapping each other.

The result is that looking directly at it it looks like a continuous shade of brown while maintaining the shape of the dorsal armor plates AND having some decent structure to them. Obviously it's ill-advised to say the least, to throw any lego creation at a wall or to drop it from a desk to the floor but at least she can stand fairly decently on her own =D

I love the concept, but the Rifter model isn't very good.

Thankfully this Rifter has become a source of inspiration for me to continue my hurricane project as I had posted in the other thread.

Now this has potential.

Wow.

Thorax and Mega would be the ones I would want most personally.

A massive Levi would be at the top of the Amazing Pyramid.


Gallente ships would be so hard because they're so curvy, and legos so...well..blocky.


blocky... blocky...

Lego Rokh!

*snaps two random blocks together*

that was easy. ;)

Definitely nifty, if it gets anywhere maybe a nice Lego Caracal to fend off the inevitable fleets of Lego Rifters?

Don't be silly, I just think the Rifter is kinda cool but I am way to old for lego.

Due to their design, the Minmatar ships are probably the easiest to replicate using LEGOs, with the Caldari shortly after on that list. Amarr and Gallente... not so much.

Could probably build a hulk too. Sell it in a kit with a Thrasher and some plastic explosive.

You can cheat curves with hinges and the like, there's a lego tristan floating around google.

More supporters needed! Registering is a pain and I didnt bother at first but seeing the supporters jump for 14 to 200+ overnight was inspiring enough.

Lego Drake

10 more supporters while I wrote this post!
