Alrighty then. For anyone remotely curious about the mini Voltron design in the other topic, here are instructions for each section based on the original and what I came up with in LDD featuring a Bricklink XML inventory file type of listing for creating a "Wanted List" down below. Just copy the text in the code box under "Inventory list" and paste that data into Bricklink to verify. I used the site's spoiler feature to help make focusing on each area of building easier. If any image seems small try clicking on one to enlarge.

Note:

All pieces used and listed are readily available except one slight (annoying) snag towards the end. The 1x1 plate with a vertical clip in green apparently does not exist which makes no sense considering the video and gallery showing off the original model has four of them clear as day plus I am pretty sure somewhere I have a couple in my own collection but Bricklink is telling me otherwise. The closest hue I think listed was maybe lime green. If the part truly does not exist in regular green after all these years, that seems ridiculous really. Maybe we can finally get some through the Mixels, eh?

A personal side note towards aesthetics, if you want the lion legs (1x1 tooth pieces) to really shine then use flat silver instead of light bluish gray.

Awesome job TOK!  Thanks so much!  I've already got the BL want lists going, and may start ordering some parts tonight.

 

I, too, am befuddled by the 1x1 vertical clip in green.  I looked all over BL, and can't find many of them existing either.  I don't see how they can be anything other than standard green.  But I can't find these pieces, in green, ever coming in any set.  I didn't find anything in LEGO Shop at Home Pick a Brick, either.

Many thanks all around to everyone here. Like the mini SDCC Batmobile and Ghost builds, it was a fun challenge trying to figure how this was built and replicate it. Now I'm not exactly eager to jump back in with another just yet but I do look forward to the next thing. At the moment there is the display stand mentioned in the UCS Slave I that I will give a whirl and see where that leads me.

I'm starting to wonder if the designer of the original build may have used clips from another brand such as KREO. I remember some of Orion Pax's commissioned projects in particular Transformers had a mix of LEGO with KREO because certain parts were not officially available in LEGO or KREO has some parts unique to their brand.

Can you point me to the directions for the Ghost build? I'm BL'ing the parts right now and I'm almost to the build stage.

Good to know somebody here may find those instructions useful. I hope you post some images when completed with the model. ....Pretty please?

Yes!  I made the last of my BL orders this afternoon, for both The Ghost and Voltron.  As soon as I get the parts, I'll do the builds and post pics up.

Just a little sneak peak.

Looks like somebody opted for flat silver on the lion legs. ;)

I'm waiting for 4 1x3 yellow plates for Yellow Lion to arrive, and then I should have everything.

4? I only recall needing a single 1x3 plate in yellow.

Well, looks like I lied. I had all the parts!

I went with the hard to find green part at the end of the build ($1 each ouch!). I also went with the Pearl gray for the leg pieces.

It's fragile and there are some less than legal (imo) techniques for assembling.

However...Voltron!

Thanks to TOK for putting the parts list and instructions together so I could do this. This is pretty awesome!

Yes, I saw your suggestion, and went with it out of the gate.  I really like the flat silver.

 

I have no idea why I thought I needed 4.  Maybe I needed 3 more 1x3s for something else.  Or maybe I accidentally screwed up.  Or maybe the wish list burped when I uploaded it (yeah, that's it!).

 

There is no mistaking what that is.  I know if I saw it on someone's desk, I'd immediately recognize it.

 

It's in my bag for work tomorrow.  We'll see if I get any comments.  I doubt it, as I don't get anyone commenting on the Lego out of my desk.  But, I'll be curious to see if I get anyone slowing down as the walk by.
