Calamitous T Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I added a translucent scope/lens to Kopaka Nuva’s mask. Does it look alright? https://youtu.be/23EBYhmPQlA 2 Quote Tammy Calamity YouTube Channel The Digital Constraction Collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torran Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I like the concept. I wonder if it's possible to sink it a little deeper, as the movie/artwork has the blue light recessed from the edge of the lens. You mentioned in the video working on the Mata version of the mask. The two smaller lenses are approximately rod-diameter, so a lightsaber could be cut down and inserted into a carefully drilled hole. The largest of the three lenses is approximately the diameter of a stud, which presents a bit more of a challenge as that would mean the whole depth of the plate itself would be outside the mask. But it could be done with somewhat similar results to the original intention for the Nuva version. I think three studs on the Mata might be overkill. Give us an update here if you do go forward with the Akaku Mata! 1 Quote flickr - Brickshelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamitous T Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Thank you, you are right about it being a little more recessed, but if you push it back any more it the tapered end means it falls out. Yes, once I took five seconds to actually look at the original I realised it was just two bar-size holes and another awkward stud. I have an idea though, so hopefully wont take long to follow up! 1 Quote Tammy Calamity YouTube Channel The Digital Constraction Collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xboxtravis Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Gosh that is smooth. Usually cutting up Lego seems messy, but the work here is done so well it honestly looks almost official. Most impressive! Quote All aboard the hype train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You deserve a medal for that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaTheSwordsman Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 This looks very good! And in the case of the Nuva and Great Matatu, would look even better with detail paint! The Great Akaku normally would too, but I don't see it as working well on the Golden version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
