Odin Makes: Giant sized Classic Lego megaphone or Star Wars blaster

Today I make more giant sized Lego parts, that will connect to the pieces I have made in the past!
The main project is to make a Lego Minifig Utensil, the Megaphone. Which later became the first Star Wars blasters in the early Lego Star Wars sets!

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for enjoying these big Lego build videos! I will be bringing them with me to San Diego Rocket Con on Feb 19-20, and to Oklahoma City Creator's Con on April 9th. It would be awesome to meet you guys!

[@jacobcutler1060]

You can make the transparent studs and maybe even a 4L with resin??

I second what @Apophis324 said. It looks like @OdinMakes enjoyed making and playing with these props and I definitely enjoyed watching that.

Giant Lego will never not be fun. Whether it's these props, or Matt Dentons large 3D printed creations The old LEGO Space Helmet (Part 193a2) would be great next. Cracked like Benny's would be fun

OMG, I am having a BLAST watching you having so much fun creating your own giant legos and playing with them! Every time you go “YEAH!” I am right there with you. I have enjoyed your videos in the past, but this is the first time I have cheered. Awesome!

[@OdinMakes]

oh wow, really? sweet. Thank you!

[@TheRealAlpha2]

Hey, a little history is always appreciated. The childlike glee you got from playing with life size Lego makes me want a set of my own. Guess I'll have to settle for cardboard and the little rings that come out of empty tape dispensers.

[@OdinMakes]

Its a good start! The tape rolls are a pretty consistent size, you could make it work.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

@@OdinMakes depends on the brand I used several to make a light saber blade and then I had a few that were oversized and made those I to the handle. Now I just need some LEDs!

[@hobbitguy1420]

honestly, the best part about these LEGO builds is Odin's absolute *GLEE* in creating these.

[@beckymurphy4714]

That's the only reason I'm watching these builds - I'm not a LEGO fan.

[@OdinMakes]

Thank you!

[@IsDaltonLame]

@@beckymurphy4714 same!!!!!

[@D.B..]

For the transparent studs, you could try making a casting mold for transparent epoxy. Make the part as you usually do, then turn it on its side to cast it in silicone. Use various translucent dyes to mix with a clear epoxy for different colour studs. You could cast multiple epoxy studs before the mold wears out. Otherwise, you just get sheets of translucent acrylic at various thicknesses to cut, stack, and glue circles to get the studs.

[@superlurf]

YYEESS! MORE LEGO PLEASE! I am really enjoying this series. Keep it up.

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

these are all coming out great!

[@Liglaglon]

i swear the sheer amount of glee in every second of this video makes me so so happy. :D love another lego build!

Your giant LEGO builds are so great, really speaks to the kid in me that played with all these sets. I also love that you test everything is the proper scale by making sure they fit together in proper LEGO style.

[@OdinMakes]

Oh yeah- they gotta work! And Thank you!

[@samueltopol1070]

I think a really cool challenge would be to make a minifigure in this same scale!

[@tehspikey]

This series is honestly my favourite. Your joy is infectious and really great to watch.

I love the sound the pieces make when they pull apart. A cool build would be Janai's Sunforge sword from the Netflix animation The Dragon Prince

[@CompSciBob]

I am loving this giant Lego series of videos. I love the 'pop' sound from the disconnecting of the Legos. So satisfying

[@OdinMakes]

Right? All the pops are real. I am not adding them in!

[@darklordofsword]

Loving these old school lego builds. Keep it up, dude! Do a control rod, a lightsaber handle, and a small radar dish, as well as the some studs.

3 years from now Odin will finally have enough life-sized foam lego pieces to make a life-sized lego spaceship

[@CityPlannerPlaysChair]

SPACESHIP

[@Tazerboy_10]

Yup

[@OdinMakes]

SPACESHIP

[@nathanalaneller]

IDEA: You can make a clear element out of clear plastic sheet. Cut it into strips & glue a bunch of different size cup like pieces. The same possess you would do with foam, you would do with plastic sheet.

[@QuizMasterEntertainment]

If odin ever gets to the bionicle masks, I'm really going nut, freaking loving this Lego creations

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

Odin: "I'm supposed to be able to put a stud (for lack of a better term) into the end of the megaphone." You're right that there is no better term. "Stud" is the official terminology for that part of a LEGO brick.

[@RaiOuArt]

I LOVE how in making "just one more" lego element, you've gone and make a bunch more pieces that fit together. Here's hoping you make more!

[@hannyb.1364]

Now that you found a way to make the lightsaber blade, you HAVE to make the hilt!! I’d love to see that honestly. I’m a sucker for scaled up lego pieces.

[@stpd_mnky1990]

I want to see the little tiny space lego robot, or a light saber handle

[@Tazerboy_10]

Tiny space Lego robot?

There were a few minifig sized robots from the 80's and an even smaller one in Benny's Space Squad 70841. I have looked at a couple of them. I like the one with a dish for a foot.

[@MasterChiefJohn-117]

I LOVE LEGO ! PLEASE MAKE MORE LEGO PIECES !

[@CammyD326]

I love how wholesome these Lego videos are because you can just feel the nostalgia flowing from Odin. This video actually got me to dig out my old ARC-170 Lego set and rebuild it and boy did I need that joy. Thank you for all of the happiness, Odin!

[@matthewmayhem9213]

Odin, it was a pleasure watching these videos because you're just so damn happy and excited, as much as I am when I order and receive new action figures to hang on my wall -- still in their packages, by the way. I also wanted to say that, because of you, I'm planning on making a cosplay spear of my own design; I'll definitely take pictures and send them to you, but it won't be for a while (lack of funds, unfortunately).

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

I've seen the LEGO torch used as an ion gun for LEGO Jawa minifigures, which perplexed me when I saw it because the megaphone (what Odin made in this video) looks remarkably close to the ion guns that the Jawas used in _Star Wars_ Episode 4: _A New Hope._

[@aerynboyer]

Two things: I love how these projects showcase the ubiquity of lego elements within the system, making it almost obvious how to assembly-line these upscaled pieces. And I really hope you hold a panel at MAGFest some day soon. It would be awesome to have ya there.

[@jameshamaker9321]

Clear Lego pieces, could be made out of acrylic. Just like resin, it can be dyed different colors. Transparent pigments, can be found in any hardware store, next to the plastic used to make windows. Glow in the dark dye, in those same stores, are close to the paint. I point this out, because, I'd really like to see a giant Lego flashlight.

[@extrax48]

I can see it years from now, Odin will make all the LEGO pieces necessary to build the whole classic spaceship model.

[@TheDutchSkully]

This really hits hard in the nostalgia. Would be fun to see a lego lightsaber hilt with a glowing blade piece.

You have no idea the joy this brings me... I'm old... My world was rocked when Lego made the Space Lego sets and to see them reproduced with such joy and enthusiasm is fantastic. Do you by chance remember the snake like arm they made later on, was a bit like Doctor Octopus arm Part number 3612 guessing impossible to make from foam though.

I still think you need to make the Space Rifle/Camera in an upcoming build! These LEGO builds are a real blast from the past!

[@Michael-dt7sd]

That pop sound that they make when you take them apart is so satisfying.

[@3DSeth]

The absolute joy that just can't be contained when completing assembly on "yet another element" is so fun to see. It's contagious, too, I couldn't stop smiling during the whole video. I'm absolutely loving these LEGO builds, and if you want another fun one from the not-quite-so-classic-but-still-kinda-classic space sets, the chainsaw blade (part 6117) was something that I loved. It came from the Ice Planet 2002 sets, in a translucent orange (but you could still just do the gray), and worked with both the torch and megaphone that you made, but also had a dedicated chainsaw body (part 2516), which could also be pretty awesome build.

[@OdinMakes]

Very true! Hmmmm

[@ryancarrell3186]

One of the most iconic lego pieces of all time, right up there with the red 2x4 brick for me.

[@LostWhits]

Lightsaber hilt next? Clear Resin 3d printed Studs? Even though I won't be making this I am really loving the fact they all work together. Unlike the Lego x Target crap they sold in the US. It all had different scales, so didn't fit together. Fantastic series.

[@blakester3043]

I have to say that I really enjoy your enthusiasm for how well things keep working.

[@lofidrone6374]

My favorite series so far. Keep going! Build the space helmet!

[@DouglasParkinson]

The antenna didn't fit into the classic blaster because the original parts worked off the interface of the technic connector and antenna stick, I'm guessing where you went for aesthetic over tolerances in the original blaster it wasn't a tight enough fit to secure the antenna. Apart from that, I'm loving the progress so far. You could make the "studs" out of foam as a molding master, and use that to cast up some clear versions? That means you have a bit more control over the colour and overall resilience of the parts, 3D printed versions aren't all that sturdy and can be limited in colour variety.

[@OdinMakes]

Douglas, you are 100% correct with why the antenna didn't fit. That first torch might have been just a single build, I didn't plan on making a ton of parts then.

[@mwwoggy]

Absolutely awesome! The Space Helmet and the oxygen tanks/backpack should be on your to do list. Just get the parts list from those lego spaceships you have and just make all the parts in order :D

[@_Matt_Johnson]

A clear resin stud for the blaster would be pretty awesome!

[@rixithyellas0621]

A really cool classic space part I’d like to see is part 3963, or the triple loudspeaker or triple space exhaust. To me I always thought it looked like a siren and cherished it as one of my all time coolest parts. Another one you could do, which would be quite difficult, is part 3144, the antenna with 8 side spokes. Love the classic space and now original Star Wars pieces, I own quite a lot of those sets that were handed down by my dad and I totally geek out over these life sized LEGO elements. I can’t wait to see more!

[@OdinMakes]

not gonna lie, I was just thinking about 3963.

[@weaselwolf]

You should do the classic space backpack and helmet (visor optional depending on how vintage you wanna go) The later space sets also had a huge backpack/shoulder unit that could be an EVA unit or some kind of heavy blaster. Maybe a bit on the large side but I always liked that piece and it's just about the biggest one piece Minifig accessory

[@Nasuto1702]

[@JJ_Binks]

Wow! I really appreciate the attention to detail with the Lego parts. As you said you could have just left them at 'good enough', but going the whole way really is the cherry on top! For future builds, you should make the lightsaber hilt (and the blade too, once you've figured out how to do transparent parts).

[@OdinMakes]

Oh, random videos will drop for a while, I am sure!

[@RealAndySkibba]

It would be really neat to get 1.25 inch clear PVC and make the colored lightsaber blades that are clear but tinted. US plastics usually has some in stock at a good price.

[@OdinMakes]

I will be calling Interstate plastics soon. The trick is 1.25" is the inside diameter of the PVC, if I want stuff to all match, it needs to be 42mm outside diameter, or really close. so it ends up more like 1.625"... I may have to settle for 1.5" for clear.

[@RealAndySkibba]

@@OdinMakes yeah. US plastics had 1.25" Schedule 40 in clear vs standard white.
