Blinky and Inky are 2 of the ghosts from the Pac-Man video game. They travel around the map trying to kill Pac-Man.
There are 2 other ghosts in the video game, Pinky and Clyde. However, there isn’t a kit for Pinky and Clyde. I have looked at the parts required for each ghost, and currently, the bricks required to build Pinky and Clyde are not produced, so it doesn’t seem possible to make the ghosts at this point in time.
Blinky and Inky are identical builds, except 1 build is in light blue for Inky, and 1 build is in red for Blinky.
The build is made of several smaller sections that are stacked on top of each other to create the main body of the ghost.
First, there is the base layer that creates an outline of the base of the ghost.
Next is a section of a few layers that creates the back of the ghost.
Next is a section that creates the eyes.
The final section is a hat that closes up the eye section and the back section.
Once the main body of the ghost is complete, the build is flipped over, and the little legs are added to the bottom of the build.
Things I liked:
- I really like how the eyes are offset and how the angles are created sadly, this means special blocks are needed, so special blocks are needed to build the other 2 ghosts
Things I didn’t like:
- That only 2 of the ghosts are represented, and the other 2 can’t be created with leftover parts
