"Legolas, also known as Legolas Greenleaf, son of Thranduil of the Woodland Realm, was an elf who joined the Fellowship of the Ring during the quest to Mount Doom to destroy The One Ring. With his keen eyesight, sensitive hearing, and excellent bowmanship, Legolas was a valuable resource to the other eight members of the Fellowship. Legolas was well-known for becoming friends with the dwarf Gimli, despite their long held differences."
Legolas Greenleaf, as seen in
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
Fully sculpted and painted by me. The quiver
is a removable piece. The bow features a real string.
It has been a while since my last custom figure, so now, nine months after Aragorn, I present to you my newest figure - the second member of the Fellowship that I've made into minifigure form so far. The others should hopefully follow soon!
Let me know your thoughts.
Do you remember that Golden winged guy with the golden helmet from the new Lego minifigures series 15? Don't know why, but he inspired me to make this custom))
The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), commonly known as the Humvee, is a four-wheel drive military automobile produced by AM General. It has largely supplanted the roles formerly served by smaller jeeps such as the M151 1⁄4-short-ton (230 kg) MUTT, the M561 "Gama Goat", their M718A1 and M792 ambulance versions, the CUCV, and other light trucks. Primarily used by the United States military
Fits 5 figs and gear..very easy to put together in sections..and yes it does have a steering wheel too! ; )

From left to right:
Sko-Khan
Guild: Nocturnus
A soldier who was stranded in a massive pit during the war against Raavage, Sko-Khan spent weeks fighting off (and eating) giant scorpions (it was during this time that he ripped off a scorpion's claw and uses it as a weapon). After climbing out of the ravine himself, he became a muscle-for-hire for various Nocturnan warlords. He still carries the claw to this day, and has adorned his armor with matching scorpion imagery as a sign of respect for his old foes.
Dombard the Doom-Bard
Guild: Nocturnus
Most bards lift the spirits with stories of bravery and heroism. Not Dombard - for reasons still unknown, he aspires to make his listeners as angry and miserable as possible. His lute (forged from and doubling as an axe) is unpleasant to the ears, and his voice is described as sounding like “nails on a chalkboard” and “a vulture being strangled” It is said that the latter is so grating that it can send members of races with “sensitive hearing” (such as elves and centaurs) into catatonic shock.
Garrus
Guild: Nocturnus
Garrus saw his home of Abyssian turn to ice at the hands of Raavage’s forces. Though he survived the attack, his forearms did not, and he had them replaced with primitive prosthetics. Filled with rage, he decided to track down those responsible for the attack, adding massive swords to his prosthetics. Leaving a trail of bodies, he soon heard word that Raavage had already been killed (thus depriving him of his revenge). With no home, family, or outlet for his rage, the hulking reptilian became a brutal bounty hunter. Though he has mellowed with time, his infamous reputation remains unchanged (as does his enthusiasm for violence).
I posted the "uprades" pic for my willys a while back while it was on going..forgot to actually post the finished messing..does nt look much different but at closer inspection..the steering wheel has been changed..and its connection too..the rear tyre is now half a plate higher as it should have been..the rear gas can is changed and its connection..the wheels connection to both bumper and main vehicle body is different..as is underneath the vehicles structure..sides of rear also changed to store weapons or gear..that is floridas tech..and a whole bunch of plates have gone here and there as i had built with what plates i had in ODG at the time..oh also handle on mg is now brown..i like the contrast..theres probably some other changes i forgot..but its enough for me.
Dang it's the Poleeece! Made a Black and White car to go with my motorbike..I might make a few more versions.
Fits figs with hats even..that was not as easy as I hoped it would be! ; )
Will add decal on door later
The M113 has always been one of my favourite APC's..pretty much one of the most widly used around the world even now..On the right we have the standard M113 with new BA M2..on the left theres the upgraded M113 AIFV "Gavin" ..we can all see where they were going with this design..lots more armor..addition of a turret with Cannon..firing ports even! There are a few varients even within the AIFV type but i prefer this one..got a few more UN projects on the way! ..and yes you called it jeff bud..the tops are interchangeable and fits 6 crew inside with separate storage for weapons and gear..some call the Gavin a YBR in Holland(Thanks Ralphy)..or ACF in turkey..other countries have symbols i don t even know what they mean..its used that much around the world.
just saw the Black Mass trailer and it looks soooo BADASS!!! love howtthe Johnny Depp looks in this movie so I decided to make a quick custom :)
I am working on the Building instructions of my last MOCs and am trying to make It more professionnal for a project with @elevenbricks11 (Stay tuned for that! 😉). I change my software. I will use Stud.io so I try different things as the Render FUNCTION!

Just messing around and thought id show a shot of the willy in the LVT, so as I said in the jeep pic it is still same length as before but just looks longer due to hood changes mainly, so it still fits the LVT.
Been a while since I got the LVT out, I think amphibious warfare vehicles/models are some of my all time favourites type of military vehicles along with armoured personnel carriers, so the LVT is naturally one of my favourites as it combines both. I still don't see these made as much as say the Sherman but that's a good thing IMO as too many can become boring. I think this is the first time I've shown some of my CB Marines on the LVT, really cool figs imo.
Terrible pic again, i got a cold still so better then nothing!
My collection of modern military run arounds ; )
Massive thanks to all the Military service personnel and Health care workers who were at work today..your not forgotten.
Once again hope you've had a Merry Christmas.
The planet Mimban possesses deep hyperbaride mineral deposits making it a strategic location to own.
The 224th Imperial Armored Division was deployed on Mimban to subjugate the Mimbanese and ensure Imperial energy mining operations continued unabated.
The battle conditions were terrible: the ionized atmosphere prevented air support most of the time, the surface was muddy and sliding so it was really hard to progress, the Mimbanese had the unsettling ability to disappear in the mud and murk of their homeworld...
Because of that the Empire quickly realized that it wouldn't be easy to defeat and dominate the Mimbanese so they decided to use the trench warfare strategy to defend their own position strongly…
Imperial gunners were operating Howitzer to fire high explosive shells and smash enemy guns and critical positions. The Empire army used as well lines of barbed wire to slow down and entangle attacking infantry while shooting them with E-web repeating blasters, protected within their bunkers making it very difficult for the Mimbanese to get any success!
Despite all those defenses Mimbanese were attacking the Empire positions!
Their trench raids aimed at forcing temporary entry into the enemy’s line in order to destroy fortification and artillery. The Mimbanese attackers were wearing camouflaged uniforms in order to get as close as possible without being seen in order to cross the worst place to be: the area between opposing trench lines known as “no man’s land”.
Attacks, even if successful, often sustained severe casualties because of being fully exposed to gun fire from both sides.
So even if the Mimbanese were very brave, they seem to be fighting a losing battle…
（〃￣∇￣） Second Starwars build of the year! This was a nice little build to do after BFVA 2022, thanks in small part to the brown tooth element being very inspirational!

Thought I'd try another Afrika Korps captured vehicle then I just decided to modify this older model. Will take a better pic later when its dark outside. The 75mm defo packs a punch for sure and yeah I doubt they fired this one while driving lol ; )
I added the flag as i saw a pic of one on a DAK Captured Tank, kinda fitting imo as they did have to use what they had and take over equipment and vehicles just like Pirates of the desert! and here is a perfect example, I also note that the skull and bones symbol was used by many German units and armed forces around the world so adding it from multiple references.
Help from Todd as always, Thanks bud
Another variant of the RSO, I keep trying to snap this one outside but weather just keeps changing so this will have to do for now, my pics have just been terrible lately, the ones of figs outdoors have come out quite nice IMO, the ones of vehicles not so much both in studio style or just with natural light and background, when I get more time I will work on it ; )
Another Incom design seen after the Yuuzhan Vong War. It was the choice starfighter of Rogue Squadron.
I have completely re done this model from scratch and lost a lot of extra parts not needed and made it shorter in height yet tougher, also made particular areas different like the wheel mud guards that are a different shape then the older D&1/2's. In Old Dark Grey none of this is easy when nobody else has done it that i have seen. Got a little Jeff Churill sticker in the side too, and the "Beat up" Star on the front is an Archer decal, I really like it this way, looks battle worn. The Name "ACE" on the side comes from a real life Gun Truck as most had names. I think it fits the truck well given the "Ace of Spades" Death card Nam thing, also goes well with the helmet on the fig. The whole rear clips on and off to have different configurations on the back if wanted for say troop transporter or the Gun truck that uses the M113 top, which seeing as my M113's top does come off in one piece it can clip onto the rear of the truck very easy, I'm sure i will show that at some point. Found another usage for a BA Barrel too ; )
Most later Nam Gun Trucks were painted Black and had a yellow nose but the early ones were Olive and i can say there are many that were left Olive still, and being that i prefer to build in ODG which is as close to Olive drab as you can get IMO and makes for more challenges for me, i went with ODG, just thought i would mention that before somebody jumps on the "They were ALL black".
Bit of info
On September 2, 1967, a particularly devastating attack killed seven drivers, wounded 17 and destroyed or damaged 30 trucks. To remedy the obvious vulnerability of the supply convoys, a "hardened convoy" concept was implemented, protected by a new type of security vehicle. This gun truck, as it became known, was based on the two-and-a-half-ton cargo truck, protected by a barrier of sandbags, and armed with two M60 machine guns. Hardened convoys were smaller than previously, being composed of only 100 trucks, and their security detail was increased until there was one gun truck for every 10 transport trucks.
In the event of an ambush, their role was to drive into the kill zone during the first few minutes of the attack, and saturate the attackers with their firepower. Early designs proved flawed, as the sandbag protections quickly became waterlogged in the frequent rains, weighing down the whole vehicle. They were later replaced with ad hoc steel armor plating, salvaged from scrap yards. The crew consisted of a driver, two gunners, a non-commissioned officer in charge (NCOIC), and sometimes a grenadier armed with an M79 grenade launcher. In October 1968, the factory-made hardening kits arrived to replace the sandbag and wood gun trucks
Messed around with most of my ODG models changing bits of tech around..added the new BA M2HB and i think it fits great! Always good when you can have a steering wheel..if you can..im very lucky to drive past an M3/M2/DUKW most mornings..all fully restored so the M3 has always been a fav WW2 vehicle. feel free to add me to pics..i know some don t like it..but i don t mind..will help where i can..but don t ask for breakdowns of my work during that..please remember that i may still miss work as i don t have the amount of time i had before on flickr.
Built for the Brickarms "Tremendous Technical" Contest over on the BA Forum.
The Snatch Land Rover has got to be one of my favourite Technicals, the Land Rover originally being only a civilian vehicle used on farms mainly, was never designed to take the role an APC should be doing, however costs meant it was pushed into military service as far more then just a troop transporter but as a fast reaction Technical used to get in and give the bad guys hell! Sadly it was used in many instances as a general patrol vehicle which it was never designed to be as it's not armoured enough. However when used as a Technical it performed very well and there are several versions.
The Brickarms parts usage is as follows(I'm sure I will forget a few)
3 BA MCH Helmets..the Snatch fits 4 figs
Spare tyre held on by a BA monopod
Front bumper features the BA Minigun Handle on the top corners
Two frontal aerials on the hood are BA Minigun end caps
The snorkel in right side is a BA under barrel grenade launcher
The windshield is held in place by a BA Monopod and the snorkel and aerial are held into the windshield by 4 BA U-clips
The aerials on the roof are connected to the roof by a BA 50cal tripod piece
One aerial itself is a BA 50cal firing pin
The gun is a BA LMG..one of my first weapons ; )
The side camouflage netting is made up by using BA U-clips connected together and connected to the vehicle with BA monopods. 96 U-clips used..can't say I've seen camo netting done like this..the actual tech is what the clips were designed to do so credit to Will on a great design..not sure why some people like to take credit for putting them together..you know given that's what they are supposed to do..just odd
Lots of NPU for these great BA parts!
Maybe time for a rest as it's quiet

Project Thunderbird (2071 – 2085)
Developed by Ætheon (a high-profile "private military company"/"PMC"), Project Thunderbird was the first successful of instance of “jet trooper” (colloquially known as “jetters”) being deployed into combat. Using cybernetically enhanced pilots (most of which were former US Air Force and Marines), the company was able to find work in conflict zones all over the world.
All jet suits contained an exoskeleton, joy stick controls, and numerous intakes and jets that could be adjusted in real-time for maximum maneuverability. Jet suits varied wildly according the pilot’s rank and personal preferences. Though the suit’s weaponry varied between pilots, the most popular weapons were twin rapid-fire plasma cannons and two pairs of missile launchers.
The most famous Jetter was Ariel Vazquez. Joining the program in 2072 at the age of 25, she displayed immense prowess with the suit and made headlines for her heroics in the Long Beach Excursion (2073), in which [REDACTED] surfaced off the coast of Long Beach, California and attacked the water front. Were it not for the timely intervention of the “Jetters”, the [REDACTED] would’ve wreaked untold destruction on the city proper. Vazquez would also participate in the Battle of Bend (2079), in which the nation states of Cascadia and Greater Idaho fought for control of a newly-discovered (and incredibly valuable) lithium deposit on the outskirts of Bend, Oregon. Being a PMC, Ætheon sided with the highest bidder (in this case, Greater Idaho) and wreaked massive casualties on the Cascadian military with their superior airpower.
Though effective, Project Thunderbird’s heavy and unwieldly jet suits would ultimately be phased out as the technology improved became more compact. However, it would leave a lasting impact on military combat (even going into the intergalactic age centuries later), with similar technology being deployed by the Royal Cobalt Space Navy (RCSN) via their “Gunzerker” program.

My custom Lego minifigure of ️Darth Talon - a female Lethan Twi'lek who become a Sith Lady. From The Star Wars: Legacy comic series.
Her Lekku is wholy made by myself! I don't use Lego one or any molds. I modeled it in plasticine which dries on the air Paulinda. Painted by Citadel and Game Color acrylic paints. Skirt is made from faux leather. Also used a chest from Ninjago, but don't really like it( A little later I'l make some photos without it)
So, I got inspired to make a Batman fig after seeing Gab's Joker. Seriously, I'm not even joking, my first non military figure. I made a batman custom, of course It would be Deathstroke, he's a friggin one-eyed ninja badass who uses a katana. I re-designed him based off his looks in the latest Arkham Knight game, which is a must play I must add.
The figure is pretty basic, with a sculpted body and a TLG Katana painted up. The back has a sculpted sheath for the katana, but it does'nt raelly work.
The colour scheme I changed a bit, making it more red than orange. And I added the 2 splinter-cell looking goggles into his mask. The left arm I changed a normal shoulder pad to a feudal-japan styled shoulder pad, cuz it looked cool.
A sneak peak on my next figure would probably come up pretty soon and I have a COD scene to upload soon too.

Let me introduce Commander Pixel.
After a rough day on Endor he survived wounded from fights with rebel scum. Many of his comrades have fallen or been wounded. But he did not let anyone escape.

This is my first ever custom Lego Minifig i've done. I've made the shoulder Pad, the headtorch and the back parts with fimo and paint the fig with some acrylic paint.
[https://www.flickr.com/photos/137947086@N04] inspired me to make the custom display stand for the minifig. Thanks for that :D
I’ve received a digital badge of scorpion in the game. But I like real badges, so decided to make my own.
The wooden version of Scorpion ‘s badge, painted by acrylic.
This was someone I've wanted to make for a while, I didn't think Lego would make variants of some of the characters, so I decided to do one of course. This might be the only variant based off an existing Overwatch minifigure for a while though. I got his head and hair from Bricklink and modified them, I decided to give him goggles that stick out like TLBM Robin, I don't remember who came up with that electric wheel piece, but I think it works pretty well. One of my faves to make.
Building something using only pieces from the Pick-a-Brick wall at your local LEGO Store can be fun, but building something that looks good is quite difficult. The limited palette of basic bricks, plates, very few SNOT pieces, and almost no slopes or wedges made this a challenge.
I'm just happy the Pick-a-Brick wall always has a few really useful pieces for advanced building, such as plates with clips which made the tail, fins, and mouth able to move.
I've been getting a lot of questions lately about paints and painting techniques, so I'm putting together a few of the most common questions and tips in a single post.
This is not intended to be a "Painting Guide" (I'll leave that sort of thing to the pros!), but rather just used to answer a few basic questions. Hopefully as others add comments and questions to this thread, it will develop even more.
Q&A:
What paints do you use?
Acrylics only, no enamels. Acrylics are water-soluable, so they mix and wash-up easily. There are a LOT of different paints on the market and no single brand will be favored by everyone. I actually use a variety of brands, depending on what I'm doing, certain color needs, etc.
On the more expensive side:
Citadel, P3, Vallejo
Cheaper brands:
Folkart, Americana, Apple Barrel
Do you thin your paints?
Yes, almost always. The ratio depends on the paint in use (some are thicker than others right out of the jar) and how many coats you want to use. You can thin Acrylics with water. A couple brands also offer acrylic thinner or mixing medium, which is intended to mix even more smoothly. When in doubt, go thin. Nothing will ruin a custom part quicker than thick globs of paint. :)
Do you mix your paints?
Sometimes, but not always. You basically have to finish that part in one sitting, or use a wet palette if you are mixing.
How about primer?
Yes, always.
Citadel Black spray is my favorite for priming (or white if you are working with brighter colors). Some people use brush-on primer, but I use spray whenever possible.
How about sealer?
Yes, always. If you spend this much time working on something, you want it to last. Sealer should be the last thing you do to your custom, painted parts before they are complete. I recommend an acrylic matte finish, but some people use gloss for certain things (it is supposed to protect better). I personally don't want a "shiny" look on finished parts. Another option is to use a gloss coat, allow to dry, then apply a flat coat for "maximum protection without the shine" (sounds like a commercial!), but I usually just stick with flat sealer only.
Any other tips?
Take your time and be patient. A good custom isn't done in 10 minutes. The basic order of operations is primer, paint, wash, detail, more details, highlight, sealer, done!
Have other questions? Feel free to post them here...There are a lot of talented Lego painters here in our community, all of whom have unique insight to offer. Hopefully they will also join the discussion and assist along the way.
Got tips of your own? Post those here as well.
Thanks!
