R-104 Metal Heart
This is the R-104 Metal Heart. The model was inspired by the R-Type game series and I hope the design honors the style.
There’s a build video on YouTube showing how the Metal Heart comes together, through seven stages of construction.
Additional photos, a digital model file, and parts inventory for Metal Heart are at galacticplastics.com. The digital design file includes both ship + stand, but is not stepwise LEGO instructions.
The final build is 4021 elements without the stand. 239 of those are the D-SNOT part which unlocked the engine geometry and other design aspects. 😅 I had fun using some other new-ish parts too!
It will be on display at the Melbourne Brickvention Jan 18-19. Please swing by if you’re around, I’d love to say "hi"!
This model was in design for a loooong time and I’m grateful for support along the way. Hearty thanks to Rob, Tom, Angus, Stijn, Brendan, Jez, Ben, Bram, and everyone else that helped/encouraged! 🙇♂️
