emily Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I've seen a few attempts to recreate MetalBeard's film appearance around the net, but they've all fallen short of total accuracy by a significant measure. I looked back through the film and determined all of the differences, created an LDD model, ordered the parts I needed, and got to building. And the back There are a ton of minute differences between the film version and the final set, so I won't attempt to cover them all in text. Suffice to say most of the changes seem to be in the interest of stabilization and economy of parts. His right foot, peg leg, and back are the only parts constructed completely differently, but there are tiny changes throughout the model. If your interested in seeing everything in more detail, here's the LXF: This is the link to the LXF I just mentioned I believe I used the wrong color for the light grey parts in the LDD model, my bad. If you want to try your hand at building the model physically, note that there are a few parts that don't exist in the correct colors. The gears atop MetalBeard's shoulders should be dark grey, but only come in light grey. The chain from his chest to his shark arm should be metallic. I'm also fairly certain that the brackets holding his treasure chest are supposed to be gold. And that's all there is to say, I suppose.

ProfessorBrickkeeper Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Nice job. I've actually been contemplating recreating a more movie accurate version of the super cycle (also a bunch of little itty-gritty minute differences between the film version and the set) so it is neat to see other people making more movie accurate versions of other TLM sets.

BobaFett2 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Metalbeard doesn't have much booty for a pirate. What is the hanging bit? Is it a curved sword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be glad to see your Super Cycle if you do complete it. It would be nice to eventually build a collection of film-accurate models digitally. What is the hanging bit? Is it a curved sword? It is indeed a curved sword, attached to his back. You can see it more clearly in the second photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
