Classic Space Lego - Galaxy Explorer WIP - Page 8 - Scifi-Meshes.com

Thank you, much appreciated!

I started the minifig by taking a bunch of photographs of the real thing and then took a bunch of measurements and made sure that it fit nicely with the lego pieces that I had already created. It's been a while, but for the arms I remember skinning together a bunch of nurbs curves and then converting the result to polygons. The helmet was the most time consuming part, by far.

Really nice mate, and the renders are cool!

Cheers, thank you!

I guess that the upsde to starting with the Galaxy Explorer is that I will have made most of the pieces for the rest of the classic space lego sets already if I want to keep going.

Please do keep going.

I'm still eagerly awaiting the clear yellow parts.

I'm taking extra care with the transparent yellow pieces, just to make sure that they're behaving properly, but I think that they're going to work out well. I should have something to show soon.

Started the transparent pieces, still some tweaking to do:

**Freak** · 07-05-2008, 05:52 PM

Dam that looks great.

Biotech would be happy with that window peace.

**Meph** · 07-05-2008, 05:57 PM

Those are looking nice!

That is pretty damn close, as Freak said, Biotech is indeed happy.

I love how its making the blue pieces green!
