Knex Creations

Yes, it's in CAD Showcase because there's nowhere suitable but it's designed (CAD), and S_R's card models fit well in Artwork Thread so I thought I'd put it here.


Basically, I cleaned up earlier and got a total Nostalgia moment when I found my Knex, and proceeded to recreate monSTAR, as best I could, using Knex.







Anyone else get a little nostalgic? XD

Still looks awesome.

Is it possible to make flippers?

Very possible. I haven't played with it in years so the designs I used to make were very basic but it's very easy to make almost any realistic design.

I think Knex is better because it looks like it would suit robot combat better.

I had actually built some pretty badass looking K'Nex mechas that consisted of the basic figure's body, then it had custom arms/legs that made them look like they were from Mobile Suit Gundam.

...But that was years ago, of course.
(I still have my K'Nex, they are just in my attic... or something)
