Celaeno

I can seeeeee youuuu, Killy

 

 

Killy & Celaeno hold the highest record of razed city during a single confrontation. An overall 100,000,000,000km3 suffered very heavy or unrecoverable structural damage, accounting for almost 5 five times the volume of the moon! A remarkable feat, and a testament that you can't lend GBE weapons to trigger-happy idiots.

 

Battle lasted for about 5 cycles and punctured the megastructure in more than 100 points. It ended with Celaeno’s withdrawal, after the Governing Agency issued a formal protest to the Safeguard for continued property damage.

 

 

I originally intented to use MikeVd’s head design, but a 4 studs wide face turned to be a little too big. Then I discovered lego8110’s design, which provided better size compatibility. Yay! Thanks! Credits to him!

 

However, while happy with the overall design, I still have concerns with the head design:

The 2x2 black plate wedges (the visor) gives Celaeno a pretty grumpy look. I would have preferred a more happy look, but it was a necessary evil to provide a thiner eye and reduce the esotropia effect.

The groove line of the cheese slopes annoys me, but I couldn’t find a better solution for it.

The hair design is very bland, but poseability requirements demanded a very compact design. Otherwise, the hair easily interfered with the arms and torso. Color election also didn’t help.

Although it uses a ball joint, the neck still lacks range of movement. I tried a MikeVd design (i.e. double joint), but I didn’t manage to properly integrate it.
