Post your Kinder Surprise models

[McFly]

Hi guys,

how about we have a thread dedicated to Kinder Surprise models. :)
Please post at least one render with all the pieces spread apart and another one with the model put together.

Here's a starter.

lol...when i moved i threw away all my kinder surprize models...that was like 8-9 years ago :) i had alot...back then didn't know what a pc was :)).Great ideea anyway,hope this thread will bring out some memories.

[RideStowe]

marty this is brilliant, my girlfriend is coming back from austria in 4 days with TONS of kinder eggs. i'll be sure to participate in this!

[McFly]

3Dvirus > come on, go and get some Kinder man! This thread needs people to post their models!

RideStowe > I am not the Marty you think I am. :D The other one is Marty_McFly staff. ;) I am a standard McFly. Thanks for your comment anyway, I am looking forward to see your models. Make this thread alive please. :)

Here is another one. This is a recent one and it came in one piece. Seems like they lack the imagination they had originally. This model is a bit screwed up as it is not accurately modelled but hey, I need practice. :D

[Nippur]

I hope you like it and forgive me that I didn't make separate render of the parts :)

[Nippur]

Here's a clay render, especially to show you the black parts better.

[TheCheshireCat]

Haha great idea :) Well done as well, I love the shading.

[McFly]

Nippur > you're the man! Now that's a nice Kinder surprise! You've put a lotta details in the parts (good you threw a clay render to appreciate the models as black parts were not too visible).
How long did it take to model? Is each piece one box/edge modelled object or a sum of little objects?

Thanks for posting! :) Hope to see more of your models, and you too, reader! :)

ps: having all the pieces in the same render is not a big issue (no thanks UK users, sorry for the pun), the most important is to see you've modelled all of them.

[Nippur]

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it :)

McFly: How did it take to model ? Hmmm, some 3 or 4 days, but I have been doing a lot of things too...so the pure modelling time could be about 5 hours :) I tried to make each piece as a one object, but after time I realized it would be much easier to put it together from smaller parts...and the quality of the model wasn't affected by that :)

I'll try to make another, if I find some time. And where's your next surprise ? :)

[Nippur]

This thread doesn't seem to be very popular :dunno:

Anyway, here's my second and for a while the last model (exams are near :().

[Nippur]

And the clay render again.

Come on guys, don't let me be here the only one modelling :)

[RideStowe]

living in america, it's hard to get my hands on some kinder eggs, but my girlfriend just got back from austria and managed to snag me a bunch of them. unfortunately they're all pretty organic(i suck at organic), i have one of a mexican jumping bean in a sombrero that can bang a tambourine so i guess i'll do him. ps: if anyone can readily acquire kinder eggs, i'll pay for them and to ship them to me, i love those things.

[McFly]

Great model Nippur! :D Very detailed and neat modelling. You're Da Kinder Man.

Hey, don't worry if it's only us at the moment. People might come after a few posts. ;)
I'll try and make another one soon.

Good luck with your exams.

RideStowe > there is no Kinder Surprise in the US of A? What a shame! :)


ps: I just realized my last post was stupid as I forgot to include the model. :S

Here goes (organic one and I suck at organic too! :) ).

[Nippur]

Hehe, that's nice...we all suck in oranic :) I have a lot of organic toys so I think I'll give it a try...later :)

McFly:Cool..but where are the pieces spread out ?

[McFly]

Nippur, this one came as one piece (or more but they were glued already!) but I modelled them separately, I will post a new render tonight or tomorrow. ;)

So if we all suck at organic modelling, let's use this thread as practice! Simple models first and one day, we'll rock. :)

[McFly]

OK I updated the original render in my previous post (refresh if the new image doesn't show) and here's the clay:

[Gecko Slayer]

Very clean modelling! I need lots of practice with everything, and I live in Australia where Kinder Surprise eggs are in most grocery stores! I'm going to give it a shot and it's a great idea, I'll edit this post later ! :D

[Station]

Any more eggs?

[RxExpress]

these things are really cool, ive never seen one in real life as far as i know, are they not popular american toys?

[Freespace-3DT]

Nippur, those two eggs you did, I have those! Somewhere... :)

[Nippur]

OK, OK, I see no one else is probably going to participate, so I'll do the job and modell something :D

Freespace: hehe, I have always known you have good taste :)

[RxExpress]

I just googled them and got no good results. anyone care to share websites or actual references of relatively complex toys?

[LionFox]

nice topic!

just google for "kinder suprise" you will find enough refference!

but to for the ones who want some short explaination:

a kinder surprise is a chocolate egg with a surprise (kinda present) inside. the surpise is made out of a few parts, which form a cewl toy! ;P

hope this helps!

ciao! LionFox

[Freespace-3DT]

And the egg is very tasy, too!

Not sold in the USA since 1997 according to the Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/13/AR2006041301953.html), "not suitable for children under 3". Sorry guys, only in Europe. :D

Nippur > will try and model another one when I am done with my current project. We gotta keep this thread going.

[RxExpress]

can someone post a reference of a complex one and ill give it a try?

[Descon]

Don't forget Canada! you can hop the border to your liberal northern neighbors and grab some tasty eggs!

[Keylitho]

I live in Washington State and I know that you can get them in Canada. I got a few of them for my son.

Edit: Oops I didn't read your post Descon.. Beat me to the punch.. :haha:

[Shadow Wolf]

Here in Brazil there are a lot of them =]
