Definitely making this one! This is gonna be fun! Not to mention it’s bigger then a vintage Star Wars figure and 10 dollars less. Just one request…. Can you make a hair piece for him if you find the time?
Hi there! I’m glad you like my papercraft LEGO Luke minifig! Some parts are a bit tricky, but if you take your time building it, I’m sure you can do it! ;o)
I guess so far, I only made hats and helmets for my papercraft minifigs, but I probably will end up making minifigs with hair pieces too; but I really can’t promise beforehand which ones exactly, sorry…!
That’s fine just thought I would ask, he’s impressive enough already :) I’m gonna show him to all my friends and say, hey this cool guy named ninjatoes made him, you should check his stuff out.
I hope your friends will like him! Some parts are a bit tricky so take your time, and then I’m sure he’ll turn out great! ;o)
Have fun building!
Oh no!!! Now you’re making Star Wars Lego figs! I’m doomed!!! Bye bye free time… lol! ; )
Awesome job as always! Wow… nice silver lightsaber too! whoa!
Haha, well what did you expect from someone that likes papercraft, LEGO and Star Wars?? ;o) I’m glad you like him, I’m very happy with the way the lightsaber turned out too, the silver/mirror paper and the semi-transparant blade do look really nice together!
Yea, true. All the best things combined! Woot!!!
I never thought of using mirrored paper… brilliant idea! I’m gonna have to find some and try it. I imagine it could be hard to keep from showing folds / wrinkles… like with foil wrapping paper… and I picture the transparent hard to glue… was it?
Yes, the “silver/mirror” paper I used was quite thick (I think 220 gsm) and had a different, white backside so especially when you have to curve it (almost every piece for the lightsaber hilt ;o) it does want to wrinkle…
But by taking extra care pre-shaping it,, I was able to keep the wrinkling to a minimum and it doesn’t look bad at all! ;o)
The transparant sheet is basically plastic, so you can’t really pre-shape it to take the tension out of it like you can do with paper… And because the lightsaber blade is basically a thin tube, it wants to “unroll”, become a flat sheet again…
And because it is basically plastic, it is a lot harder to glue than paper yes, especially when it’s under this much tension… So you need a really good glue, or simply use scotch tape (that’s probably the easiest solution I think ;o)
And you obviously like Batman too… so my hopes of Batman Lego figs look like a possibility as well. LOL! ; )
You’re totally right, I do like Batman a lot too, so it’s definitely a possibility, but I really just don’t want to make a promise I might not be able to keep, because papercraft is just a hobby for me and I never know which models I feel like making in the future of course. ;o)
ThankYou,You always do great work.
Thank you for the compliment! I enjoy making my papercraft models, so I’m happy that others like them too. ;o)
I love these guys. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, I enjoy making them so I’m glad you like them too! ;o)
