Astroboy in Lego

[DrFrag]

I've done some more work on the head, in an unexpected burst of enthusiasm.



That's the first 20 rows, out of 43 for the head. I ran out of black so I had to stop. Fortunately, black is easy to get hold of.

Now that's awesome. I can't wait to see it when it's finished.

Forgot to mention I haven't bought white lego, so the eyes are grey for now. This is pretty much a rough draft head anyway. I don't think the hair spikes are going to be nearly long enough. I did try lengthening them in the software model a bit, but I'm not good and fiddling with meshes. Fortunately they're in the right spot, so I can just add on Lego until they're the right size.

I was reading back through the thread and I found this:

If I was doing it, Astro's eyes would probably look like Christopher's:

That's uncanny.

[Astro Forever]

Indeed!

I had totally forgotten about it.

if you did get white lego you're going to have to breack off the top of his head to get to the eyes ... but if you some thing eles in mind tell me becuase i'm very intersted

I'll be rebuilding the head when I'm done. The ears and sideburns need some work, I need to give him a mouth, the hair spikes will need rebuilding, and the eyes need building in white and black (and maybe brown too).

I've ordered some more Lego so I should be able to continue in a couple of days.

[DrFrag]

US$932 + shipping, so far. :d oh: I was prepared for $1500 spread out over a few years, but that's still a lot.
