When I first heard that Lego was making a UCS type Hulkbuster mannequin I used to be ecstatic. Upon seeing the ultimate mannequin, nevertheless, I used to be considerably upset. Since I really like mechs, I made a decision to go forward and construct my very own Hulkbuster MOC, alongside a customized 3D printed head, which I’m additionally making out there on shapeways!  There are additionally variations of the top out there which can be utilized to improve each the smaller and bigger official lego fashions.

If you wish to construct this MOC, please notice that whereas it’s considerably sturdy it’s positively a show mannequin! In addition to this I could have used just a few methods that aren’t 100% authorized despite the fact that they match nicely. Due to this (and LDD not supporting some authorized connections/being finnicky in relation to joints) among the components within the LDD file are mendacity close to the place they need to be positioned. Additionally, whereas I attempted my best possible to keep away from errors, it is a 1000+ piece mannequin and I can’t assure that there are not any. In the components checklist and LDD recordsdata, brilliant pink is used to point inner components who’s coloration would not matter, so be happy to make use of no matter is already in your assortment or is least expensive.

For buying components, I 100% advocate getting as many as you possibly can from Lego’s “bricks and items”. Many darkish pink and gold items might be discovered on there for less expensive than on Bricklink. Happy constructing!
