I've been attempting to do a full minifig decal application, this is what I have so far. There are a few flaws but I am happy with it. I am useing clear waterslide paper and it hasnt been easy, I think I have gone through enough decals to make 5 of these. If it goes easier from here I will include the full torso with my custom green beret figs.
Whilst enjoying the excesses of the holiday season poor Pooch's owner had neglected to take him on the long winter walks Pooch so enjoys.
I was very surprised to find Series 16 minifigs at the LEGO Store already (they're out early!!). This is the wildlife photographer, once I saw the expression on her face, I just knew I had to do a closeup :-)
Note: The Wildlife photographer comes with a hood instead of hair but it's way too hot in Texas for her to wear a hood, so I gave her a hairpiece for the photo - also it was easier to photograph her face without the hood :-)
This one was a bit of a disaster. The good helmet I was working on got completely munted and during a test cast I ended up stuffing up some other pieces too. Such is life I guess, I've learnt some lessons.
Long time coming tribute to THIS magnificent beast from Keith. Both of our ships are based on Erik's fine design.
This trophy fig scale model pales in comparison to Keith's minifig monster that was the anchor for a massive KeithLUG display for BricksLA 2018. But this one proves to be massively more fun to swoosh.
Cheers!
This is just a quick shot I took to show that I think The Martian deserved at least one Oscar. IMHO The Force Awakens deserved one too but I had a feeling The Academy would snub Star Wars, so I was cheering for The Martian on Sunday night. Unfortunately, my cheering did no good because The Martian got snubbed also but it was an excellent movie and I think it deserved to win in at least one category. Now I think I'll make some potatoes for dinner.... lol :-)
Of the new Disney Series, there's only a few minifigs that I wanted - Ariel is one of them :-)
I think LEGO did a great job with this minifig. I really like her hairpiece and the printing on her face is very clean (that makes her easy to photograph). Hopefully I can photograph some of the other minifigs soon :-)
From the "Watchmen" Graphic Novel and upcoming Movie - Customization by me with big thanks to Mark aka MMCB for the custom trenchcoat
Having a go at lighting. This has got a couple of colour change LED's in the base. Inspired by Missing Brick and Legominded.
The vests and front helmet are non-lego but the colour was right. I need to find out where to buy that smart gun...
The new CMF ghoul seemed like a good fit for the "resin", not that you can really see it ;)
Executive Ellen went to the dentist for a routine cleaning but found out that she needed more extensive work. Normally she doesn't flinch at dental work but Ellen has already had many uncomfortable issues and doctors appointments over the last couple months and she's getting frustrated.
She still didn't want to put down her coffee cup though :-)
The dentist's office is from the new Assembly Square set.....
The Disney "100" CMF series includes some odd parts. And by Odd I mean Cursed, Minifig parts. Or possibly Blursed, depending how you look at it.
Like Pinocchio's nose.
Which answers the question, What if Minifigs had noses?
Every night, when I get up to get a glass of water, I find the Janitor quietly mopping all the floors and cleaning all the sidewalks in Lynn's LEGO City. I'm thinking of buying more of this minifig and placing them all around the house. Then maybe all my floors will be clean in the morning? :-)
I spotted Lisa leaving the Brick Bank with some paperwork. Hopefully she got a loan to pay for all those Bricklink orders :-)
The new Hiker minifig set out for a long hike this morning. He asked me if I wanted to go but I declined (I've never been fond of hiking) :-)
I've never watched Ninjago but I fell in love with the architecture of the "Temple of Airjitzu" so I got the set last month during double VIP points. I was thrilled to discover female Ninja minifig, Nya, in the set so I took her portrait in the Ninja Training room.
I'm in the process of printing and sealing some water-slide decals that I will be selling in my bricklink store.
I really like how this one turned out it also has a face decal using white water-slide paper.
Now that our old house is sold, I have the time (and mental energy) to watch the new TFA trailer over and over again :-) I'm very excited for the movie!
I know this isn't the same type of gun that she's holding in the trailer. I'm fairly sure that I don't have a minifig gun that resembles what she's using in the movie.
The third design that I am thinking of offering, listed with images of the brickarms that I want offer. Not listed is a brickforge gun holster for the combat knife. Torso design is photo shopped.
Sensei Wu and Misako enjoy some morning tea in the Temple of Arijitzu. From the little bit I've read online about Ninjago, it sounds like their relationship is complicated but I'm going to put them in the "Cute Couple" category anyway :-)
These are the minifigs from the "Thanksgiving Feast" (40123). Notice anything strange? They both have grey hair but their eyebrows and beard (for him) aren't grey. I was tempted to change the heads but I really wanted to show the minifigs as they came in the set. Maybe it's normal to have mismatched hair in LEGO City? :-)
I did a quick portrait of the new caroler minifig to show her alternate face. I think LEGO did a great job with this minifig :-)
This is my final build from Brickfair. As with most of my recent builds, I started with the figure first and then came up with the build. I considered doing a basic minifig smiley face as the picture, and I planned to make the build bigger, but both of those things fell through as I had new ideas and ran low on time. I'm really happy with how this turned out though. It's a concise frame for a cool piece of graffiti.
This is my entry to the New Elementary competition "BUILD AND FIX" Contest.
It's late and dark but some brave soul has to guard the gate....
After years of searching Professor Vasiliev had finally found the gate to the lost city of Legotihuacan, it had been a his life long obsession to find it. Not only had cost him his marriage, but he'd spend much of his vast fortune to find what many believed was only a AFOL myth spoken about only at LUG meet up's and in dark corners of LEGO shows. But has it's all been worth it ? , will he find a full box of Series 10 containing only Mr Gold ? or a sealed Cloud City Set ? As he sleeps, his faithful sidekick Elem guards the door which could open on a fortune.....
for the current campaign of the Nine Kingdoms RPG on RogueBricks.
This was my first time building rocks, but I am quite happy with the result. Just the positioning of the minifig was nerve-racking, because it slipped down all the time.

This morning I found Sensei Wu on the steps of the temple watching his Ninjas train. I quickly snapped a shot before he spotted me :-)
This set is making me tempted to start watching Ninjago......
I got the Monkie Kid set 80066 mostly because I was in love with the brilliant colors and the Mythical Creature Qilin.
The creature is still being built, and I am enjoying the beautiful bright colors during this rather dull looking February!
I did watch a couple of episodes of the Monkie Kid to figure out who all the characters were. But I'll probably use them in my own 'stories'.
Here is, a not very good, picture of some of the custom minifigs I have made. I just realised that its been about 6 months since I started customising minifigs and it's been a real learning journey. I've had a pretty tough year really and I got into Lego customising as I was signed off work, it really gave me something to focus on. Now I just want to say a big thank you to all the customisers who inspired and encouraged me uptill now... and I cant list them all but special mention to Kaminoan, MMCB, Arealight, Jasbrick, Morgan19(0), Levork, Xueren and DrVenkman - and really this is just a small number of people whose work and comments I really value.
Another cute couple is visiting the fancy restaurant for Valentine's Day. The disco couple can't stop singing "Staying Alive" and dancing around the restaurant :-) The waiter will be glad once Valentine's Day is over.....
On a different note - has anyone else seen the leaked box images of the new UCS Hoth set? I've been excitedly waiting for this set since the rumors came out last year BUT the box images show that Leia has been excluded from the set! There's a Luke, Han and other minifigs but no Leia. I'm very disappointed. Unlike Hasbro, LEGO has always been good about including female characters in sets but not this time :-( Supposedly the set will be officially announced tomorrow at the New York Toy Fair so we'll know more then.....
