From Game to Lego

Post by Vami IV » Mon Sep 08, 2014 1:01 am

A thread for things you see in a game (like Halo or Portal) that you either build or see a picture of built of lego.

I start with a model of Wheatley from Portal (via youtube, although I had to conjure up some new tricks b/c LDD) and a Chell I threw together.

BONUS!
The UNSC Spirit of Fire, built in lego.

This really doesn't need to be its own thread, best to merge it with the 'look at this' thread.

Many that live deserve no thread. And some that die deserve a thread. Can you give it to them? Then do be eager to create threads.

goatse anus incoming! (Oh word buttplug, I do love you so.)
Right guys, so this'll be staying as it is for the moment, because whilst the last two pictures Vami posted belong in "Look at this" just as much as here, other smaller and self-made things that you probably wouldn't bother posting in "look at this" unless there was a topic whose theme directly matches that of the thing in question. I cite Nimja's FTL ship picture.

Aside from that I'd also like to avoid the situation (which Brag kinda alluded to and which I tried to guard against in the OP for the "Look at this" thread) where all the threads in the Bricks forum might as well be posted in the "Look at this" thread, because that would totally kill this place. The general rule was that if you would have given something it's own thread anyway, give it it's own thread anyway, and this (although only just about) qualifies, even given the fact Vami started it. Having said that I'm not stopping Vami from posting the battle for helm's deem OMFGHUUGE diorama in that thread too...

tl;dr: Keep the lego coming, whatever the thread is, the more awesome lego the better.

I believe you, Overwatch. Thousands wouldn't, on account that you haven't any documented creations larger than your foot, but I believe you.

This post is missing the Vami stamp of quality (and by that I mean my special ink Nimja finds annoying) because I was trying to post this about a year ago, but my internet was not down with that. We're back in business, mates.

Video game mocs are bad for that reason and also for the reason that you have a specific thing to recreate, which limits your creativity.

Nah. There are plenty of ways to be creative besides just choice of subject. All MOCs are good MOCs.
