Lego Marvel Super Heroes: The Hulkbuster Smash-Up (76104) - Modification 2

A lot of people messaged me about how I did the mod. I don't have time to do make the instruction but I can show you some close ups. Take your Hulkbuster 76104 out and compare with my model, then you will know how easy to DIY. Basically, I just rearranged the bricks in this mod.



1) I shortened the body by one stud. The golden part was taken out



2) The legs were in one piece at L-Shape before. You can just take them apart into two parts. I use two small joints in one leg but there is a better way to do it... I will come back to work on it when I have time.



3) The most important thing is the upper body width. I extended each side by one stud. I also replace the original black arm armor with deep red one.







If you have question, please let me know. I will try to check the comments more often now.

Lego Marvel Super Heroes: The Hulkbuster Smash-Up (76104) - Modification

The Hulkbuster Smash-Up (76104) is a cheap set at Canadian $40 for 375 pieces. It's an ok fair price in 2018. It has a gear triggered right arm. The huge turning knot is at the back of this Hulkbuster. Maybe it is the reason why the shoulders are way apart from the body. Quite horrible when you look from the front... Like the arms are going to fall off. Lego set's "play value" is always a problem to many Lego model's shape.

The set comes with instruction booklet, 4 bags and a sheet of sticker. I think it is about the same as the hulkbuster from Age Of Ultron.

*I didn't follow the instruction fully in the first build.

When I open the instruction booklet, I study the structure of the gears inside the body and the arms. Because of the simple structure, I can change the shoulders easily. At the same time, I move the shoulders one stud out to make it wider.

The original legs are quite weird but.. quite impressive for the Lego designer to use less pieces to build the legs. I modify the legs into 3 sections instead of 2. I really like the original design of the lower part of the legs. I haven't touched the back of Hulkbuster because I don't even know what it looks like at this stage. All film photos and toy photos from Marvel are front view only.

I don't think I will spend money and time on buying the UCS version. It's all gone in every where.

Lego Marvel Super Heros: Spider-man Homecoming's Vulture (Modification)

The latest Spider-man movie was here last week. After the darkest period of time (Two Amazing Spider-Man movies), Spider-Man movie was back on track again. With Marvel's magic, one of the ugliest Spidy villains: Vulture, who was an hairless old man in green suit and wings, became very cool on screen. He used the alien parts stolen from the Avengers 1 battlefield in NYC to build his wings. Lego's original design wasn't bad but just not cool enough. Lego didn't build the multi-angle rotors inside the ring. So, I just added them to the ring. Because of lacking knives and swords parts, I couldn't change the wing tips into what I wanted. Let's see if I can get some in the future.

Updated a bit...

LEGO Marvel Red Skull's Car MOC - Stage 2

I put aside this project for a while. Next stage may be changed into a 4 seats vehicle like the one in the movie, Captain America: The First Avenger.

LEGO Marvel Iron Man Malibu Mansion

This set is a very long time project. I have been building it slowly for almost 3 years. The top part is small but it costs me 3 sets of Lego Malibu Mansion sets.











I updated my collection at a stage.



This stage is the Party Protocol level. Still in progress.



It also acts as my "storage space".

LEGO MOC Red Skull's 1942 V16 Coupe from Captain America (Test Run)

It's just a test run for this MOC project. I will take it apart and build a larger one later. Red Skull's car in the movie Captain America is unreasonably large. It should be very long and wide. The final model should be at least 10 studs wide (Now at 8 studs wide which is too small). Let's see what I can do when I have time.
