Star wars.com 的设计师访谈:TX们练练英语吧
Fans of the galaxys fastest "hunk of junk" can look forward to an all-new
Midi-scale edition of Han Solos legendary Millennium Falcon from The LEGO
Group this summer, and only Walmarts getting them!
The 356-piece set includes rotating guns both top and bottom,
and rotating radar dish. Of course, savvy LEGO builders can add
their own "special modifications" to the hull -- this is LEGO building
after all!
Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, a LEGO Design Manager working out of Billund,
Denmark, is the artist behind the new Midi-scale Falcon, and answered
a few of our questions about the upcoming kit:
What are the challenges of designing in the "Midi-Scale"?
Did paring back the detail make it easier or more difficult
to come up with a compelling design for the Falcon?
In general Midi-scale is good for building bigger vehicles.
But some of the smaller details can be a challenge.
Are you restricted to a certain number of newly-tooled
parts for these kits?
We are always restricted on new tooled elements on all sets!
But here, as there are no minifigures with the model, there was no need
for new tooled elements.
The pared-back "Midi" aesthetic feels fun and lends itself well to
desktop display for grown-ups. Are these just for kids, or do you
have the adult fan in mind as well?
The model is for both kids AND older collectors. The model has a good size
for display, but it is also constructed so that it will not fall apart when playing.
You might lose a brick or two if you reach point-five past lightspeed, though... 这句很搞笑
