Building Tip

The secret to building in microscale is learning

what is needed to capture the iconic details of

your microscale LEGO model. Think of what you

are trying to build as basic shapes. For instance,

a car is pretty much a rectangle with abump on

top, and a house is a box with triangles on top.

Try to identify these basic shapes and add just

enough detail to make the model recognizable.

This is a scene

with Teknopop,

One of the

robots in

themovie.

That’s actuay not that many. For

one of the big robots, it takes

nine people to make him work.

Hehe, yes it is. Let’s

get moving before

they start roing.

Dude, that is a lot

of puetrs!

Whoa, he

has no

legs!

Not for this type of scene.

It’sa close-up where he has to

do a lot, and since you don’t

s the legs, we use this puet.

It takes a those people

to make him move?

Yes, it’s quite a

sight. This is the

cockpit set. It’s

on what we ca

a motion base.

It’s prey much a

flight simulator

with a movie set

on top.

Awesome.

What’s that big

grn thing?

That’s a grn scrn.

Weuse it when we have

to put in a special eect

later. In this case, outer

space wi be visible

through theship’s

windows.

Holy

cow!
