Tri-droid WIP

My proto is finally done! The pictures are crappy and the torso and support needs some work but I'm getting there.

me gusta. But seriously, this is awesome man! Love the shaping!

Wow, those legs are really great! They just seem to flow. Can't wait to see the final version!

Dang...that is sweet. The head is just pure win.

It just keeps getting better and better, keep up the good work!

Awesome! This is really cool. Where'd you get the transparent plate?

Nice rooster. The sphere looks good too.

That's just epic! Are you gonna build a little Chrisophisis build with it?

If you could get it to stand up without the supports you would be THE Lego king.


That hint aside I like what I am seeing, the sphere is nice, but the legs I feel are a tad thin, maybe making them a tad thicker would help the supports.

Amazing how that big thing is supported by three tiny feet.

Bricklink, they are from the mosaic sets I believe

I'm trying to pull it off without having to bulk up the legs (I worked in LDD switching back and forth and the deminsions are perfect according to the reference shot) but I don't think Newtonian physics are on my side here

I'll tell my dad you said so (His nick-nacks in the background) Like I said crappy quick pics

Very awesome. I love how you made the legs and sphere, along with the guns as well. Two questions though:

1. What did you use to make the sphere?

2. WOuld you mind post some instructions to this please?

Wow you have noob written all over you! Welcome to the Guild; usually this is the mods' jobs but I think I'll post this to save you from getting whacked on the wrist by Rook or the like. I'll post instructions to the SNOT brickbuilt sphere in the techniques area in the next few days since it seems like everyone is digging it.

Alright, thanks alot! But I'm not actually new here, I've been here for a few months already. Its just been so long since I posted here. And yes I do have noob writing!

Update time!
+ = (Clone Math! (btw the smilie is drinking blood))
So the eyes and body are perfected and I'm just waiting on a light tent for Christmas now to get good shots and a bricklink order for a better transluscent support. Oh and when I get it I'll be posting nice shots of my gunship, y-wing and RC turbo tank too.
Do you guys want update pics, or do you want to wait for the final version?

Pictures, we all want pictures! We need something to drool on or it didn't happen.

Ok I'll take some shots tomorrow... And Troopa, I'm so tempted to say "thats what she said!"

awesome man, feet are a bit to small otherwise it's been done perfectly !!

So I promised pictures today but it turns out physics and gravity don't smile upon large fragile 2 lb. Lego balls being balanced on toothpicks!
EDIT: Just ordered a crap load of pieces to sure up the structure, so you guys will have to wait on my 4 bricklink orders. It'll be worth the wait though!

Can we at least see the aftermath?

Dang it! I knew I was forgetting something. The crash was pretty sweet though. Best lego wipeout I've seen since my AT-OT and Republic dropship fell from my 7 foot tall shelf. Just anxiously waiting on four bricklink orders now... you know how it is.

Ok my pieces finally came! You guys will have to wait till Christmas for the light-tented version though.

Nice droid! I suggest you add.... (Thinking) Um... (Trying to think of a something besides awesome) OK you got me. I love photo-receptors!!! And are those Minifigure hats that look like ball domes on the side? Nice use!

Awsome droid man. Now make a Christophis MOC.... Doesn't need to be big, just the size of the Droid. K?

Awesome job on the legs there man! Will you be making instructions for these after your done finishing it? But btw, keep it up!
