Knoest test build #5

I keep forgetting to include a real LEGO minifig in the pictures for size comparison... ;o)

But I guess now that I finished test building Kapitein Knoest's bicorne hat, it's a good opportunity to *not* forget it this time, so you can see the full size now.

As you can see, the test build is about 29,5 cm tall, and it's proving to be a good size to build, so I'll make the final version that size too. ;o)

Stay tuned!

This is an oldie, but I wanted to make a vid and my papercraft LEGO Knoest isn't finished yet... ;o)

Knoest test build #4

Here's another very freaky picture of Kapitein Knoest...! :o)

Not so much because he is missing an arm, but the face texture ended up too small after all the editing and saving I did on it. It's an easy fix, though, so the final Knoest won't look so... freakish.

The epaulettes (those ornamental shoulder pads) look intimidating to build, but with the proper folding and pre-shaping they went together very easily!

The rings on top are about 3 millimeters thick, which is a lot bigger than the parts on some of my other models. ;o)

More about the head: old LEGO minifig heads used to have closed studs on top, but I thought the more modern, open stud style would look better on a big-scale paper model.

The open studs have kind of a three-piece open "pie-shape" on the inside, and although it's not impossible to re-create that too in paper of course, it was a lot more trouble than it was worth.

So I think I will still make an open stud, but not the open pie-shape. Luckily, that's only a small change on the 3D model again! ;o)

Stay tuned!
