While not as grand a scale as the 3-D X-Wing Bead Sprite I made awhile back, I think this one is my favorite so far. It might be because it’s new and fresh, or because it’s based on one of the greatest side-scrolling space-shooters of all time, but I like how it looks more like a sprite (only in 3-D) than just a simple recreation of the craft in beads. Withoout further adieu, I present the Vic Viper from Gradius.

Oh, wow! It’s beautiful. And yes, Gradius is one of my favourite shooters too. I think you captured the spirit of the game somehow in this one.
Comment by Arachne 04.19.10 @ 1:52 pmDo you have a tutorial or pattern for how you did this???? I’m new to these fuse beads and would LOVE to make something like this with my sons – but no idea how to do this in 3-D. Thanks for any help you can offer
Comment by Karen Williamson 08.19.10 @ 4:47 pm@Karen – I don’t have a tutorial or anything like that, but I do have the template for all the pieces. If you’d like to give it a shot with the image used, feel free. Email me and I’ll send you the image I used to make it.
