what's up everyone I'm Riley and you're
watching brickatecture in this episode
we're gonna make this all the pieces
here were ordered from Bricklink so the
first thing I had to do was sort them
it's about 500 parts used I started by
laying out the shape that I wanted
keeping in mind small blade shape ahead
and in the front there's going to be
four layers to this so I had to build it
up with different place make sure you
overlap the pieces when you're doing
this I wanted to make sure I left space
with the little grooves it has so I left
a 1 stud space in a couple of areas
these will be filled with tiles later
there were some areas where I had to use
tiles underneath just because I was
going to use which place over and I
didn't want studs on that fart then I
started filling in the groups with tiles
I really like using tiles because it
gives things a nice smooth shape and not
all Lego mocks have studs all over them
the thing about black pieces is that
it's really easy to see dust on them so
if you want a clean shiny look make sure
you wash them beforehand the majority of
this bill is just plates and tiles but I
also used a lot of wedge place to give
it the right angles I first built this
in lego Digital Designer and then
created an instruction using a program
called blueprint this made it a lot
easier to build
I really like the new 2x2 wedge plates
and there were a lot of them used in
this build
especially on the 4 feather shapes then
I needed to make a blade shape I built
this in two halves like the rest of the
shoe I wanted to move this part down a
plate so it would stand out from the
rest of Choo so I made those
calculations in digital designer and
then built them into the shield at this
point it was really starting to take
shape and I was super happy with it all
I had to do was figure out how to bevel
it and attach it to my arm
I laid my arm on it and then figured out
the four spots where the joints made it
to me before I put those on a build to
pieces to bevel it using jumper plates
to offset it a half step I also made
some simple technique braces to give
stability
I put the joints on and then for the
straps I used some Hero Factory joints
make sure you really shape these to your
arms so that they're not too loose I
connected the straps and when I put it
on I was actually really surprised at
how comfortable and stable it was last
thing I had to do was that two claws on
the front it's just pretty simple
then it was finished and I'm actually
really happy how it turned out so I
think overall I just want to say it
turned out really well
I'm surprised that it's not coming off
my arm
these Hero Factory joints are pretty
tight and tight fit so that's real nice
I don't have any tips about this because
I think the way I did it turned out
pretty nice there were a couple things I
thought wouldn't work but they actually
turned out really well I just added a
little bit of reinforcement in the back
a couple large plates but I mean it fits
my arm it looks really close to the prop
so just turned out really well anyway
