Clockwork Knight (aka Proud Larry)

A while back I ordered a bunch of pearl gold parts for cheap from a Bricklink seller. I have been wanting to dive into the realm of steampunk again so it was the perfect opportunity to make use of the color.

Much of the inspiration for this comes from 16th and 17th century European medieval suits of armor.

P.S. Check out my little sisters photostream. She just added some new stuff so I'm shamelessly trying to get her some attention. :)

    Hooray for copper and brass. Extra hooray for nice use thereof.

    It's kind of funny how cheap the pearl gold parts are. I love them.

    It's a rare gift to be able to make pearl colors look good. Well done.

    Also, it scares me that your little sister is posting MOCs as well. The combined force of two 'haulic Clites may well tear the intertubes to asunder.

  39. Nannan Z. (39 months ago | reply)

    A difficult design and color combo that only you can manage. I like the trans blue bits.

  40. tadashistate (39 months ago | reply)

    Those helmets are very good eyes and make it seem very organic.

  41. GreenMoogle (39 months ago | reply)

    Wow this is nice! I like all of it so there really isn't anything I can point out.

  42. Apocalust (39 months ago | reply)

    I hate it. It sucks. The whole thing looks like you slapped it together in a few minutes. It's clearly not thought out at all. Why would someone have a gear centrally located in the chest thereby unifying the general design, and then put some inverted bricks right above that? That's ridiculous. Almost as bad as using robot minifig legs for feet. I feel like I'm committing a crime by looking at this dreck.

  43. AeroBrick (39 months ago | reply)

    This is very, very cool. Everything you post seems to get blogged :-)

  44. GreenMoogle (39 months ago | reply)

    ^^ So Apocalust you are trying to say that you love it? :P

  45. Apocalust (39 months ago | reply)

    I wanted to keep the thread from getting stale. ^_^
