Man... you are nuts. The banshee was already sick, but this is wow. Amazing work.
Also this is not "playing with lego" ... this is engineering.
|
That's fucking INSANE! How do you build something so complex out of legos? Anything I build ends up looking like shit.
I put four blocks together and call it a masterpiece lol.
Wow. Just...wow.
|
This is so cool. Thats why I like lego. Although unfortunately I don´t have any myself anymore I always really like seeing these sort of things. Makes me wonder what could have been if I had kept my collection and kept expanding it.
Ah well. At least some other kid got to enjoy my legos and experience that awsome feeling I had for all those years.
|
|
|
that's a hell of a work! i hope you know what an awesome thing you have built there.
just awesome!
|
God damn, that's awesome.
|
|
|
|
|
Sosick :O
And the size of this thing, woa.
|
Incredible. You should upload a youtube vid of the thing sieging/unsieging.
|
Awh man I'm soo jelly.
A while back I had a K'nex Rock Crawler (which I made from a Ferris wheel set(flex rods and the motor) and a variety tub). Everything was made out of K'nex execpt I had rubber bands as driveshafts and as beadlocks (I had a lot of trouble when my sipped large tires kept spinning on the wheels). It was only back and forth at a painfully slow speed and the motor had a slip thing (I guess to keep from breaking rods) so going up steep hauls you couldn't do. It flexed like crazy, to the point where the rubber bands would slip off the small wheels on the axle's. Oh this one time I was watching it crawl over a rock and the back axle snapped, took me like 5 minutes to pick up all the spacers.
Then one day I thought it would be pro to watch it do a Tank Trap. After that the motor died a week later. =[
|
You just HAD to one up the other guy who made the first lego siege tank didn't you 
Nice work!
|
Fully working cannon!? You must make a video.
|
What....what the hell?! This is impossibly good O_O
DANG, give this man a spotlight!! Seriously, that....that is unbelievable.
|
Amazing what things you can build with legos, are you planing on making a BC in the future? Could drool over that for hours!
|
Damn, that's insane. You should build a viking next; that's the other transformation unit.
|
Amazing, can't wait to see the video. :D
|
Dude, that's sick. I'm amazed that people can actually do things like this
|
Amazing work, you are really making me miss my legos >_>
|
I can't believe Lego Technic actually supplies so unique peices that you can make something which looks THAT much like a seige tank... and not only that, you can make it look like that while it actually has functionality? That's ridiculous. How much did you spend on all that lego?
|
nice dude.

I'm guessing 600-1000.
|
A lot of times people do things and show them off on this forum and I think, "Cool, but I could do that."
But this, I wouldn't even know where or how to start to build a functioning lego siege tank. It just seems... too hard.
Good job.

simply amazing. my god that thing looks beautiful. gonna need a ton more though 
|
Incredible piece of art. I absolutely love that. Would be great if you could get a video up soon.
|
Thank you all! Video is in the making. Part cost for this project was around 600-700 euros. Building technique for the outer shell is quite simple. It consists in fact 90% of very common technic beams. Only some highlight parts are rarer to add extra shape. Here's an image where I tried to show how the smooth surfaces are made:
Larger here: http://drakmin.hi.fi/kuvat/tekniikka.jpg/_full.jpg
|
I don't think I ever saw something hand-made that was so cool. You are the man, man!
|
|
|
I would ask for instructions, but I know that would probably be impossible/needlessly wasting your time
|
This is awesome. You deserve to get this thread featured.
|
holy shit that is amazing, that is extremely well made
|
5/5, you should email Blizzard and LEGO. If you want to - this thing will earn you contacts.
|
I guessed those were just technic beams but seriously man, that must have hurt your fingers so bad.
|
Wait some of the parts are custom made out of even tinier parts? Omg you're taking lego to a whole new level. Respect level just increased.
|
Thank you! Video should be available tomorrow Any suggestions on what to build next besides a Viking?
|
Thor
|
that's a masterpiece dude, nice work
|
NarutO: walking Thor would be cool indeed! I fear it's beyond my skill to make only 2 legged walking Lego machine but I might still give it a try. Atleast a quick prototype.
|
The key is that you have to shift weight over the leg and then take the weight off the other leg.

It becomes harder with the balance when Thor has weapons and arms that should be movable aswell Would be nice to have possibility to aim weapons.
|
We need a siege tank video :p

You're right, Thors are really imbalanced.

May I ask what you do for a living? Are you an engineer of some kind?

This need to be spotlight!
Edit: holy crap, I just saw the banshee in your youtube channel too! Excellent stuff
|
So, does the banshee fly?
|
That is... remarkable. I am seriously impressed.
|
|
|
oh my god give this man a medal and job o___O this is absolutely brilliant!! :D
|
Wow that's awesome, well done :D
|
At the beginning I was like : hey it's not legos he lies, it's very well done but it's not lego, ah it is lego.

This. Is. Amazing.
Had my whole childhood into Lego, I was fond of it.
You just made me smile and go "WTF THIS IS AWESOME !"
|
At first I just glanced through your post, examined the pictures and was almost sure it was about Lego introducing special starcraft edition. Fantastic work!
|
Wow! Amazing. I totally agree about the childhood lament over lack of pieces.
|
i'm not gay or anything, but if you ever feel like making love with another man, you should take a vacation to the USA and we can hang out

Indeed. And some fine engineering at that... @_@
|
|
|
This is even more amazing then the Banshee. I want one... or two.
|
First that amazing Banshee and now this... You sir are an amazing lego engineer and you deserve far more recognition for your passion and work.
|
|
|
Sick lego skills. Deserves to be spotlighted imo.
|
I'm speechless.
this guy must have an engineering degree or something
|
This is so gosu :D well done! Definitely one lego block you never, ever want to step on
|
Wow truly amazing, great work!
|
shut up and take my money!
seriously, lego should pick this up and sell copies. a lot will buy it for sure, even non-sc2 peeps as it is so friggin' awesome
|
|
|
just browsed thru lego cuusoo and it is not there. it would be nice to have the siege tank in there so that we can vote for it
i did vote for the banshee though
|
Great Job. This should be featured. This makes me want to go to my basement and pull out my old lego set.
|
Thanks for spotlighting this thread. That siege tank is truly a magnificent work of art.
That banshee is quite sick too by the way.
|
|
|
The plan must be pretty complicated, good lord. Great job!
|
Looks amazing, Can you do a Thor in the future?
|
Really cool o.o
Maybe one day you can make a deal with Lego and have SC2 lego kits made :D
|
IT took long enough to get spotlighted. IT seems the spotlighting mods have been on vacation for a little bit.
|
I post just to support you man! Wish this gets much more attention than your banshee post! Both are very deserving.
|
This! is! insane!
fantastic work!
|
Holy shit. Shut up and take my moneyyyyy
|
Okay next I want a 1:1 scale replica of the adjutant that is fully sentient and has fine motor skills. All made out of legos.
|
|
|
Ive just been to legoland, and this still blows my mind.
Amazing job!
|
Wow.. this is sick awesome. Now make instructions and take my monies.
|
Is it strange that a 30 year old man plays with lego?
No. Its awesome.
|
That is just beyond awesome. :D Amazing work.
|
This is sooooo coooool!
I think it would be waaay too much to ask, but if you ever published the entire schematics for it, I'd love you!
Can't wait till someone does a Battle Hellion in lego (with full transformation capability, either with help or on own) :-)
|
That is awesome! The banshee is so good,if only it could fly with a rc.
|
|
|
|
|
Blown away by what you've managed to create using just legos! really impressive!
can't wait for the Thor 
|
|
|
Being another 30 yr old man, I am so jelly! Fantastic piece of engineering/art! Keep it up!

Just awesome man! Amazing what you did!
|
wow, very impressive. congrats!
|
Incredibly nifty, I have never played with technics and now I realize whats missing in my life!
Really good work!
|
|
|
Wow amazing work, I just want to go play with my legos now, its been years! You are incredible though, nice job!
|
This is fantastic!! Definitely one of the coolest Lego creations I've ever seen.
|
That. Is. Sick! Would definitively buy one. Probably the most awesome lego creation I've seen to date.
|
United Kingdom1688 Posts
It makes me want to think of things to build, then build them...
|
That is one of the most crazy legos I've ever seen! You could probably sell it as an idea to the lego company.
|
That sir, is simply epic!
|
Fantastic job. Seriously, i love it!
|
Thats fucking awesome, you should totally add some team colors to it though.
|
I keep throwing money at the screen but nothing is happening!
Seriously, I would be down to pay a decent amount of money for something as sweet as this.
|
DAMN I love LEGO
Amazing work ^________^
|
5/5 i love legos but thats fucking amazing
|
shut up and take my money
take ALLL MY MONEY
|
Mother of God.
Can't even describe this awesomenesssssssss!
|
|
|
PARTS LIST + INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE
|
You needa get hired by Lego.
|
this is so bad ass and makes me wanna get into lego again lol
|
I just got a sense of amazement and nostalgia at the same time! Brilliant creation!
|
Wow, this is absolutely incredible. Props to you for having the patience to make this ;D
|
|
|
Wow. Absolutely incredible!
|
I think the best SC2 stuff I can make with Lego bricks is probably destructible rocks.
Awesome stuff, can't wait for the complete Terran arsenal :D
|
This is jawdroppingly spectacular! Absolutely amazing, one of the best MOCs I've ever seen.
|
You sir are an artist, and your medium is Lego.
|
|
|
|
|
soooo....what month Lego catalogue is this coming in?
|
Holy crap!! That is amazing, the level of detail is eccelent!
|
Wow... possibly the best Lego MOC I've ever seen - even if it didn't have all of its functionality, it would still easily be one of the most accurate Lego Starcraft adaptations there has been. I have a couple custom Lego (technic/bionicle based) Starcraft models I made 2-3 years ago that I've considered posting, but I might as well not even bother since pretty much anything will look like complete crap compared to this.
|
This is incredible.
As somewhat of a Lego enthusiast myself, ingenuity like this just makes me so happy.
Thank-you Drakmin.
|
This is very, VERY impressive. What a masterpiece.
|
|
|
|
|
5/5
Would purchase it the moment I see it on the shelf!
|
This belongs on the Blizzard main site. Please Lego, make this into a product. I was absolutely addicted to Bionicles when I was small. I would still be if it was still in production. Honestly. Lego. I will buy.
|
If you don't plan on selling this, would it be possible to get the scematics and maybe a site to order parts from, so we can make it ourselves?
|
Thats awsome, i wish i could build things like that. But alas i am a destroyer, not a creator.
|
I can't think of a bad thing to say about this. It's just awesome.
|
|
|
Damn this is awesome.
Well played sir. Well played.
|
HOLLLYYYY MOLLYYYY THAT IS AMAZING
|
If I could upvote you for this, I would.
|
Engineering at its finest!
|
can you make it in Available for voting to become official Lego set ? cause its even 1million times better then the banshee its just perfect ... i would even buy it from lego xD
ps: fuck i miss my lego ...
|
this is really impressive
|
|
|
A work of art. Truet epic stuff!
|

Ye gods thats so awesome.
|
This is incredible! Love it!
|
That's insane. You're really talented with legos.
|
Please get someone to rock a sick paint job on that. It'll look so great. Squad insignias, kill count tallies etc.
|
You just blew my mind. Great work dude.
|
Holy mother of sweet creation that thing is ...............................
i'm speechless!!!!
Great work dude, put this thing up on DA (deviantart) as well!!!!
|
OHH that looks soo kickass! I want one to play with 8)
|
That is amazing...I really want to build legos like that now...but I honestly don't have the talent that you have. Keep making these!
|
Wow, dude, that's really an awesome piece of work, and the banshee too. You make me want to go buy some legos.
|
|
|
I saw the videos that thing is pretty sweet, but none of the pictures will load for me Does anyone know how to fix that?
|
DAMN YOU
Now I've got to wipe my keyboard

Only 101 votes for the Banshee? I just clocked in # 102 vote. Best of luck! Both are awesome. Taistelee!
Go vote and put down "teamliquidl.net" when they ask you why you chose the Banshee, who knows maybe teamliquid gets a advertising deal if enough go vote. So go help out you community and drakmin! (registration at the lego site is screenname, email, age, password, and why you voted, took me 30 secs tops, unless you vote with facebooksign in, which I didn't, then its less than 10 secs)
|
Wow both of those look absolutely fantastic.
Excellent work!
|
|
|
what the hell man, that's sick!
|
My brother was also pretty good with Lego. I couldn't build anything advanced.
Mad props with the siege tank. Amazing work.
|
Wow, I didn't know there are Lego parts like that. When I played it's just the squarish and I guess slightly angled blocks there haha. Looking forward to the Banshee.
Anyway, here's a repeating version of the 7-sec siege mode video just for the heck of it: + Show Spoiler +http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=FxyyVoZDgO8
|
|
|
I wet my pants. This totally embarrasses the Mega Bloks designer who made the battlecruiser!
|
How much did all those parts cost? Looks like great fun though. 4-5kg, that's a lot of plastic. :D
|
This is really really amaing nice work man
|
|
|
looks better than in-game imo :O
|
|
|
wow man, if you get Lego to sell that set... I'd totally get one of your Siege Tanks xD. Far better than the previous one i saw
|
holy crap.
I got a truck set and that NXT 2.0 set but never really got around to making things . I should really allocate some time for that.
Love both the banshee and the tank.
|
|
|
This is absolutely amazing stuff.
But everytime I see those "new" kinds of lego I can't help to feel sad a little because lego used to be a huge part of my childhood and It's really changed a lot since then.

this is isnt just legos this is engineering

Yeah....this is legitimate engineering :O
Every time I see this again my jaw drops...what the heck, just way too good. Amazing creation there...hope he's able to produce some more epic SC2 units if he has some extra time on his hands~
|
I'm not sure if I actually posted here to say how brilliant this is. Well, this is brilliant
Also, I really liked this part for some reason : "All started couple of years ago when my girlfriend bought me a Lego truck as a christmas present. I believe it was mean't to be slightly a joke but building the truck got me hooked. Exactly how Lego's worked in childhood. I realized now not being a child I could overcome the part limitation and purchase pretty much any amount of pieces."
|
that's so sick, is it going to be able to buy ? or find the instructions ? cause it's just ridiluously sick
|
Naruto had it right, intuitive engineering in all its glory, very well done sir. Hopefully Lego picks the design up, you could have a self-made career doing stuff like that.
|
That's so cool!! :-D Stupendous job!!! Was actually going to suggest you do a Banshee next, lol! Plans for the future with this, or is this all? :-3
|
most awesome thing, ever………
|
I am a mechanical engineer, and holy shit.
|
My best custom lego creation was a car of 50 parts. I'm in the shadow of a colossus.
|
The Odin would be another interesting terran mech unit that might transfer as well to the Lego Technic side of things. Well done on the tank though.
|
Wish I could go to the store and buy one :[
|
|
|
If Anyone just happens to know how to get instructions for this and price tag? I want to build one for my brother that loves siege tanks
