Maybe the yellow ones are naked.

There was a question about software earlier - I'm using houdini. It's procedural workflow is perfect for this sort of thing.

Thanks for the comments everyone! Update coming soon.

This is a very nice duplication of the set.

By the way, the "bumps" are called studs (this is the official Lego term for them).

As for the debate about the visor on the old helmets, the little dents on the side were for the Knights face shields, space figures did not have visors of any kind that far back. I should know I have so many of these guys it aint funny. My colllection goes back 32 years and contains about $10,000.00 worth of parts.

As I said, this is a very nice duplication of this kit, keep it coming.

Studs - that's the word I was looking for, thank you! I knew they had a real name. It's nice to speak to another collector, I still have most of the pieces and instructions from my very first lego set (received in 1976 when I was 5

):

Does anyone remember the lego oil rig, I cant seem to find it anywhere in any old catalogue and I know I didnt just imagine it.

My Brother-in-law has that, he still got the train set that came out around that time, and it still in perfect working order.

Thank you!

I don't remember the oil rig though, sorry!

Brilliant mesh, Stonky. To say it's photorealistic would be an understatement. It inspired me to have a bash at something LEGO-y myself, and I must say the minifigures are actually surprisingly tricky to model in places. How did you go about modeling the arms?
