Three months of pure procrastination.
About this creation
Kay, so gotta go ahead and give my inspiration kudos to two of my favorite builders, Cam M. and F-ZERO's #1 Fanatic ! Cam pretty much owns the Lego hardsuit field, and F-ZERO has really gotten me fired up about Metroid lately with his awesome MOCs. Check these guys out if you haven't already!
Initially, I had wanted to make a little custom Samus minifig, but I couldn't stop there! I tried to make a dio of one of Metroid's infamous self-destruct scenes, but rather than a raging maelstrom of fire 'n brimstone, my makeshift "explosion" came out looking more like a bomb or something, so I just went with that. So yeah, on that note, on the MOC!
We find the galaxy's greatest bounty hunter examining yet ANOTHER space station, when--all of the sudden--a planted explosive detonates in one of the station's corridors. Looks like somebody's after Samus... again...
Overview.
Samus scrambles for the hatch.
Run awayyyy!
Explosion close-up.
Oh, wait, it's not Dark Samus after all! Looks like somebody's a little sore about his #2 rating...
"Is that the best you got, Boba?"
Custom Samus closeup. Sorry the color scheme is a tad off...
Looks awesome from the front...
...but from the side, not so much...
The back.
I slapped together a Zero Suit Samus for a size comparison. Pretty close to scale, I think...
Samus' suit is my own design; the next few pics show the basic template for it. Feel free to borrow the design if you want!
Front side.
Back side.
Exploded view; shows all the pieces you need.
Dio without figs.
View from inside the damaged hatch.
Boba Fett is chillin' in his little alley...
Behind the confines of "Space."
Backstage Party! Don't worry; they're all friends! :P
As always, thanks for dropping in!

Great moc! Samus is really hard to pull off with LEGO, but you seem to do her quite well.
Thanks! I just wish I could scale her down a tad... :-) |

Does this mean you are going to be doing Metroid MOCs too?

It's possible, but probably not as frequently as you... Might do a few "Metroid: Fusion" inspired stuff in the future (since that's my favorite game of the series), but that'd probably be it. |

Not bad,not bad, could use some work, but it's good. How come people see this, but they have never seen mine?

The minifigs are great, the backstage party is very funny, and it features Boba Fett. What else do you need for an epic MOC?
Haha, thanks so much! |

Nice vignette! The Samus fig is a bit disproportionate, but she still looks good.
Thanks, Cody! |
