Lego Works in Progress

[Guest Garble]

I figured I'd create a thread where I can post some of the progress I'm making on LEGO designs, considering I'm still making stuff in my free time and I'm not sure if I'm completely done with C&C related lego stuff as a whole. I might some day return to making full animations, but in the mean time, here's a thread dedicated to some of the miscellaneous materials I come up with.

 

To start things off, here's some soldiers firing from a mortar tube.

That pic should fit just right for C&C Generals Legos.

 

Say, I thought you retired doing C&C Legos for good.

[Guest Rabbit]

That's the thing. I'm not sure if it's ever going to turn into C&C stuff. It's just random experiments with image editing and new scenery. I want to make more videos, I just don't know what I want them to be about, and I don't want them to be limited to C&C or forced into a schedule.

Day 2 brings new rewards.

Say goodbye to old clay muzzle flashes, and say hello to... well... actual muzzle flashes.

[Plok 323]

This stuff actually looks good, keep it up!

[Nmenth 290]

Ordinary muzzle flashes are easy, now lets see you do a railgun.

[Guest Rabbit]

I'm really tempted to try this, just to spite your comment. Problem is, aside from the tiny animations in Tiberian Sun and Tiberium Wars, I don't really know what a railgun is supposed to look like.

[Nmenth 290]

Well, a real railgun looks more like a flamethrower, but nobody animates them that way.

 

Have you seen Eraser with Arnold Schwarzenegger?

 

 

I suspect that film is where they designed Tib Sun's railguns from.

I suspect that film is where they designed Tib Sun's railguns from.

In that particular cutscene, the railgun appears like some sort of photon cannon and doesn't leave the Eraserish trail

[Nmenth 290]

I am aware of that, and it is quite possible they weren't inspired by the film. However, I think Eraser kind of set the standard of how fictional railguns look. As far as I know, nobody had done railguns like that before Eraser, though I could be wrong. The projectiles vary in appearance a bit in that TS cutscene too, depending on the angle.

 

The blue smoke, sound effects, and design in general are still very similar. Especially when considering the in-game animation in addition to the cutscene. This is why it has always been my belief that Eraser inspired TS's railguns.

[Nyerguds 100]

The ingame railgun certainly looks like the Eraser one.

[Guest Rabbit]

Well, speaking of Arnold Schwarzenegger, here's another LEGO series I'm working on. This is a quick mockup, I feel I might be using laser / railgun effects sooner rather than later.

[Nyerguds 100]

Are you making a Terminator episode? xD

[Guest Rabbit]

Another thing I just finished putting together.

I have new AK-based weapons along with RPG-7s, and I purchased some ninja masks. I also bought a couple bucks worth of broadcloth and built the robes these guys are wearing. I basically took the idea from this website, but I didn't feel like spending $40 bucks per minifig. All in all, this probably cost me a total of 20 bucks for these six guys. Total.

Does this mean you'll be creating a Generals mini-series?

[Guest Rabbit]

Like I've said a few times before, no. I will never create a Generals season.

 

The only reason I would create one is if I wanted to make a generic warfare Lego series, which I've considered doing for a while. The only way this would make it to C&C Legos would be if I wanted to slap that name on it to gather more attention, which frankly, would be ironic considering that's how Generals made it's way into the C&C series.

[PurpleGaga27 39]

That might be perfect for the other Lego series, Blue Team Go.

[Tyler Duggan 0]

Blue Team Go was an awesome idea to create something where you didn't have to stick to canon, what happened to it?

[Guest Rabbit]

Blue Team Go is an example of me trying to start a project when I already have too many projects going. I have a script for the next episode, but I've yet to find time to actually create it.
