Lego Mospeada...and other things...


Recommended Posts

I have been trying to use MLCad/LDraw to try to build this Beta/Alpha combo:

Problem is, I'm having issues with the parts not be in LDraw, which makes me wonder if they are all Lego parts or not. Has anyone ever made a parts list for those or done them in LDraw or a Lego Designer?

Examples include the little 1X1 bricks seen all over (like the feet) and the knee joint rod. I've tried search BrickLink to find out the part names, but that's a needle in a haystack situation. Any help in either defining what the parts are named so I might be able to find these parts on BrickLink or as custom parts for LDraw?

If I can get a good drawing together using LDraw, I don't mind exporting my file to share.

There are several other very cool Lego Creations I wouldn't mind making, anyone ever replicated these....

Lego bricks seem to be reasonably priced in general for the major colors (like 2 cents for the blue bricks I was looking at), so if this works out, I might do the transforming mini-vf-1's and I'll post those too.

I'm pretty sure I got the SDF-1, Alpha, and Beta figured out and drawn up. I'll have to order some Lego's to see.

But the VF-1 is giving me hell. There aren't very man pictures that detail the insides and how it works. I also can't figure out how the hell the guy did the legs. I figured out how to do all the pieces of the lower leg except the front of it. The front really vexes me b/c I can't see how the two little plates attach...

Any help??? It's highly likely that my entire concept of how the leg works in those pictures is wrong, thus the reason why I can't figure it is b/c I'm trying to build on something that's already done wrong.

The bits on the front of the leg seem to be a couple of these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3794

With a couple 1x2 tiles on top.

The leg is most likely made up of several of these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4733

Thanks. I actually figured it out yesterday. It's pretty complex in a way.

Did some Super Packs and a Strike Pack too, around 300 bricks total. Alpha, Beta, SDF-1 are around 100-150 bricks each. Gonna have to figure out how to buy the lego's now (or at least which seller on brickling to buy them from)...
