Kreon Upgrade Kit [shapeways]


Wu Long Ti

Recommended Posts

These arrived on my birthday and they fit awesome! I need to make a few minor tweaks to the knee connectors (shave off one of the pegs) and the hands.

 

The hands had the column for the axle filled in with either support or WST material and I ended up "drilling" them out using the sharpened end of a straight paper clip. it was terrifying. I then cut pieces of paper clip to length and used as axles for the finger joints.

 

It worked, but I can't expect anybody that goes for this kit to do the same so I'm going to have to work out another solution. I might try a half ball/recess friction connection but I worry that it will keep popping out.

 

Other than that, this is working exactly how I wanted :D

 

For those interested so far:

Joints are articulated enough for a 3 point landing (the Ironman pose)

Standard Lego parts can fit the pegs for added customization

The pegs all have a 3mm port along with the hands to accommodate the Kreon weapons/Kibble parts as well as the Cyberverse Weapons.

The bottoms of the feet/forearms have female lego ports

Parts easily removed and added to other toys

On this morning's train ride I sketched out design ideas for more parts... primarily connector and adapter pieces but also a few new parts that will combine to form a torso upgrade (w/ ab crunch) or could be used as new feet. Maybe some other stuff too, I'm not sure till I can play with them in hand.

I've finished modeling the torso upgrade. I've put a lot of thought into these parts and I'm pretty happy with how they've turned out. I've got some shoulder bells sketched out that will attach to these guys so that the arms don't looks so weird. But that's going to be part of the "Omega" set. ;)

 

I hope you guys like :D

Hah, nice! A little more and you'll just be using the heads. ;)

 

True... I think w/ the Omega kit I'm working on, there will be the pelvis and legs, and the torso... but the rest will be add on parts.. lol
