An associate of mine recently decided to create a Hero Factory based roleplay. As it has been a long time since I’ve been in an HF RP, I decided to go ahead and join. Doing what I did back in the first HF RP I joined and built a character in LDD first. Sure, these days I could easily build on with physical pieces, but it has been a long time since I’ve last build anything in LDD. And this model certainly shows it, but the setting is the early years of Hero Factory, so I suppose simplicity works. Without further to do, here is Gabriel Freeway, the Chief Commissioner of Sarazon 5’s Department of Law Enforcement. [image] Yes, yes, the rest aren’t rendered. It took about two days just for the image above. Mostly because I forgot to do the transparent separate, but my computer needs a rest…

So why rebuilt theses guys little over two years later? Well, I wanted all my HF characters in a physical form, so that included them. Aside from the obvious color changes due to physical parts limitations, they do share a number of improvements over their digital counterparts. They’re a lot more structurally sound on the internals…which I forgot to take pictures of for comparison. Despite how it may look, Speedy’s gun arms are completely different on the inside.

It may have just been a two year gap, but building these guys physically I had no idea what I was thinking. Both as in, “how did I come to this solution?” and “why did I build it that way, you know it wouldn’t hold well.”
