I Might Have Gone A Bit Overboard...

So after building a mini Boba Fett, I started to wonder if I could scale any other classic characters down... and then I went a little crazy until I pretty much ran out of the essential pieces to make any more.

 

(From left to right, back to front) Tarkin, Stormtrooper, Greedo, Oola, Vader, Lando, Chewbacca \ C3P0, Boba Fett, Luke, Han, R2D2, Leia, Slave Leia.

 

The body dimensions are 3x3x4, comprised of mainly technic, although some of them have custom builds. The arms and legs all use the short CCBS limb element. The heads are curved bricks build around a 2x2 head, three studs tall minimum... just in case anybody else wants to make more at this scale.

 

I like how most of the characters turned out. The Stormtrooper is a bit off... might be better as a Scout. Greedo is a pain, mostly because I decided to make him lime green because that was the best color I had to build in, but the bright color and shape just don't look right. And of course, Vader... I could not figure out a head design for him, so I tried to build for his CCBS head mold. It... doesn't quite work. Maybe it would be better if he had a cape. I wanted to make a few others from the original trilogy, like Obi-Wan and Yoda, but ran out of time and pieces. (The ones I ran out of were fists, those CCBS limb pieces, thru ball joints, and tan / brown curved sloped. The big CCBS hip piece, which is generally rare, is actually not a problem for me since I've been obsessively ordering those for the last year and have a big collection now, they're rather nice for mini builds this size.) This are currently in a box ready to ship out to BrickFair, so hopefully they'll be on display there.

 

(And for the record, Slave Leia's head is not connected to her body for that particular pose. My ability to work with joints isn't that good yet.)
