Hello guys! Im a Lego fanatic, and I started working on a Highlander today!
I'm still working on it and I will use this thread to post updates of my work.

Feedback is much appreciated!

Looks cool! What type of builder is that and can it be downloaded or web based?

Heh, it seems there's a Lego virus moving though the forums. We just had that Centurion posted last week, I've seen someone else working on a Dragon, and I myself am busy making a Lego Catapult. I'd love to see how they all turn out. Good luck with the Highlander!

[Senior Knight Steele]

Good luck. Can't wait to see it.

Looks great so far! If you're not planning on using pick a brick to order it, I'd suggest you use the extended version of LDD that has nearly every piece ever made in any colour.

I really want to order it, but the problem is im living in Germany, and there aren't so much stores here. I will have to keep the pieces as simple as much, to keep everything available in this country.

Are you kidding? There are several specialised Lego stores throughout Germany! You can find the closest one to you here: http://stores.lego.com/de-de/stores/

I was talking about inoffical BrickLink stores, not official LEGO ones. I need shops where I can pick any Brick that I want.

Small Update:

Tomorrow I'll start working on the lower Body, and maybe some of the upper body parts.
Still havent figured out how to do the lower body shape correct, prepare to see some changes there

Somewhere out there is an application that allows you to generate a complete parts list from LDD, then import it into a BrickLink want list. It's such a shame that Lego discontinued the Design by Me program (otherwise you could just order the whole shebang), although I'm sure it was driving the parts-pickers insane.

As a Bricklink addict, I've found many sellers who ship internationally for a reasonable price.

Quick Update:

I still haven figured out the lower Torso, so I decided to build the Front parts first



Next Update:

Have you made any progress with this? It's been a while since your last update, and I'd really love to see how it turns out.

[Iqfish]

Had exams the last two weeks, so I had really no time for the modell.
Its weekend now and im working on the Jumpjets right now, expect some screenshots the next hours

First lower arm is finished:


Started working on the back:

[Devil Fox]

Can I ask why the torso and arms is inverted (as in opposite) to what the MWO concept and ingame model are? Otherwise I'm looking forward to seeing the end result, keep it coming!

Well, you have a point there o.O I mirrored the concept art by accident, and now we have a mirrored highlander. Will be fixed in the next row of screenshots thank you!

First arm finished



Reworked Jumpjets - now Original scale&propotions

[Alistair Winter]

Nice work. The legs look a bit too tube-like though. I would definitely flesh out the calves

[Mighty Spike]

This is goin to be about 50 cm high,right?

[Iqfish]

Totally reworked the calves
