Let me make this very clear the everyone, these prototypes are for brickfilming movie props only and nothing else. These will not be sold on any custom of mine, they are for an upcoming collaborative Stop-Motion coming in November! These have to be some of the best prototypes ever! I've been collecting protos for years and the quality on these is superb (no line down the middle). Will has really stepped up on these beauties and I can't thank him enough for them!
The Stop-Motion is going to remain classified until my new name is announced next week!
DO NOT ASK WILL WHEN THESE ARE COMING OUT.
DO NOT ASK WILL HOW MUCH THESE WILL BE.

Here's a glimpse of a proto mold layout, zoomed and angled.
Any ideas what I'm making with this? Be specific!
Westland WG13 (Lynx) prototype XW839 at The Helicopter Museum, Weston-Super-Mare, on 6th August 1999.
Just an update ;)
I would like to thanks Brickwarriors and Brickarms for producing such LOVELY items over the time it has taken me to collect these - I cherish every single one and I hope to further expand my collection! :)
Any marked with a * is for trade :)

Just my own quick shot of the BrickArms MPC prototype! It's truly a fun accessory with a near limitless number of ways to use its different components in building
The BrickArms Man Portable Cannon
Prototype.
Inspired by popular video games, it incorporates the BrickArms Minigun main body, a custom cannon front-end, and widened sci-fi ammo box with integrated U-Clip. Named by my son, Ian.

BrickArms Prototype M110 SASS.
The grippable mag, wider than the BA M16 variants mag, reveals the top of an exposed cartridge.
Save your pennies! This one is coming to GIBrick and BrickArsenal on 11/4.
One of four WWII-era Soviet weapons.
It can be seen at BrickFair Alabama (Jan 13-15), at the GI Brick and Brickmania tables. They are NOT for sale, and will NOT be given away there.
It is currently ONLY A PROTOTYPE, but I MAY include it as a special item in an upcoming WWII-themed BrickArms pack.
Huh? What year is it?
Here's a small gem that we happened to find upon visiting Will's workshop. While I don't believe it has an official name, it was designed after the first mold or so, adding a few new features to the original M4 design. Scrapped for obvious reasons, this piece has sat in a bin for ages, and most likely inspired what we now know as the ARC.
Anyways, you guys deserved a picture, so here it is!
The one and only half of the BrickArms Lever-Action Rifle prototype mold! Will cut this mold half using his new CNC machine, and after testing the cavities with putty, it was clear the design was oversized; he therefore didn't bother to cut the second half.
Still, it's a great example of just how crisp and clean Will's new CNC machine can cut! Plus, with the knowledge of what didn't work with this version, Will can always revisit the design for an updated version that's better scaled to the fig.
More than a few BrickArms prototypes have gone through a similar process, but this is the first Will's publicly unveiled!
LOL @ the permanently posed bodies and ratchet wigs :s
While I definitely would have preferred some of these details on the final dolls' outfits, let's be honest; These days, you're never going to see a $20 playline doll with details like this, ever, from any company :P Anyways, I wonder when these are from! I know this line has been in the works for at least a year, but Idk when they started making the protos. I'm pretty sure the prototype clips from this video were all from the sizzle shown at Toy Fair :o Obviously, they're not the ones we saw in May...
Y'all can view this in "Original" size to see all the details :)
Look at megara!!! I would die if I saw her in person, but I see alot of things they changed! Mainly the buttons! Look at the buttons on the strings too! Those are gold circles, instead of the factory buttons. And look at her hair! It's amaze!!! I'm doing my megaras hair like this from now on! One thing I also notice is her eyes! I've never seen a grin megara with side glance eyes! I think she's prettier!
Uses the TLC twin tank backpack. The accelerant tank piece plugs into the bracket attachment, which is inserted into the twin tanks. The tip of the nozzzle is hollow to allow the flame pieces to attach, and the hose is insert molded to the bracket and handpiece.
It is my most ambitious injection project to date.
Working on a new dress bodice, this is a muslin prototype. Still some changes to do, going to be making a simple Halloween dress from this. Might only have 1-2 extra for sale, depends on if I have the time.
In 1990 Greater Manchester PTE exhibited a prototype bodyshell of one half of a Metrolink light rail vehicle beneath Manchester Piccadilly station. The bodyshell was built by Officine Casertane in Caserta, Italy (part of the Firema Consortium) and was originally painted in Greater Manchester PTE's orange and white livery. It was photographed on 13 May 1990.
The prototype bodyshell was subsequently repainted in Metrolink light grey, dark grey and aquamarine livery, numbered 1000 and named The Larry Sullivan. It joined the collection of vehicles at the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester in 1992.
This is a pre-release model of Apple’s OMP (Original MessagePad) including the extremely rare ‘Batmobile’ screen cover. The front of the case is marked ‘Newton’ in the location where the shipping models of the OMP and the MP100 (MessagePad 100) were marked ‘MessagePad’. This particular unit is currently nonfunctional. In fact, I’m not convinced that it ever worked, as it is labeled “Technical Sample Only” on the back.
This Newton is marked with the number ‘46’ in three places … in the top right corner on the back of the case (view here), inside the battery compartment, as well as on the back of the battery compartment lid (view here). The ‘Batmobile’ screen cover is marked with the number ‘39’.
According to the previous owner, this unit was used in a 1993 television game show called ‘Quest’. A contestant was given a video camera and a prototype Newton, competing in a high-tech scavenger hunt around San Francisco. The Newton was used to feed the contestant clues. ‘Quest’ is mentioned in the book Defying Gravity by Markos Kounalakis and Doug Menuez.
This item is part of a collection obtained from John Venzon, August 2002.
It seems the 5 Tuckers found in the warehouse is only part of an ongoing intrigue. Along with a number of other photos and documents found on the premises, these two transparencies came to light and caused a sensation in Elgin Park.
The entrepreneur, who back in 1950 clearly invested time, money and creative talent trying to produce a Tucker related vehicle, still remains unknown.
Aside from the What, Where, How and Why of it all is the burning question:
Do these two prototypes still exist?
Oh, the possibilities!
On a different note, the creation of these two front end designs were achieved by digging through my parts box plus a little bit of modeling.
The "prow front" was cobbled together by forming an arch out of thin styrene, fitted with a rounded vertical strip of plastic in the front, then placed over the center headlight.
The "bullet nose" style was created with a brass grommet and a hemisphere of styrene.
As for the egg crate grille, it was taken from a broken Cadillac diecast and trimmed to the appropriate shape.
The fender skirt is a piece of styrene fitted into the wheel opening and painted the body color.
A few other changes include;
- Removing the rectangular turn signals and substituting round, milk glass fixtures close to the headlights.
-Adding a short chrome bumper-ette above the grille on the Prow Nose prototype
and a long chrome bumper-ette that connects the two round turn signals on the Bullet Nose prototype.
-On both of the models, half bumpers were installed onto the main bumper unit for a more massive look.
-A chrome trim spear along the front fender and a chrome trim piece below the doors to create a longer, lower appearance.
-The air intake vent, on the rear fender of the bullet nose, was painted the body color to create a smoother appearance.
It was a very interesting project for me because the Tucker is such an iconic vehicle.
I wanted the alterations to be sensitive to the original Tucker/ Tremulis design, yet address the changing style that was starting to emerge in the industry at the time.
For reference only, I will remove by request.

This is the v2 of the Sparrow Flintlock prototype. It is a bit shorter, and has a sharper rake in the handle than the v1.
I'll have a limited quantity at Brickfair.
One of four WWII-era Soviet weapons.
It can be seen at BrickFair Alabama (Jan 13-15), at the GI Brick and Brickmania tables. They are NOT for sale, and will NOT be given away there.

Got pics of the first sculpt of Skonk today, quite a few tweaks here and there to be made but I'm pretty impressed with it so far!
Ears to be angled back more, feet altered, tail goo more defined...oh and skonk's gonna go on a diet haha!
So excited though, it's looking great already! Kudos to Patch Together and their sculptor!
So everybody's seen those uber-blinged out Cowgirlz protos, but check out this later prototype I found on a (of course) Russian website. Lol Anyone else notice that it's always the Russian sites who have these random prototype pix?
Anyways, I'm totally in love with the "gangsta" Jade on the right xD That hair! :'D
It is precisely this car which reached 417.4 km / h on the Bonneville Salt Flats !!
This Veyron is the only one which is registered in the area in which the Bugatti are built !
(apart from demo cars of the factory, of course :)
Molsheim - September 2011
"The super-powered, transverse-mounted, 2849cc V-6 lived behind the passenger compartment and had four valves per cylinder, operated by twin overhead cams on each bank... To demonstrate that Oxia was more than a showpiece, Peugeot invited journalists for a ride around a French track. With a Michelin test driver at the wheel, the supercoupe reached a speed of 217 mph, well above the company's claim."

Probably first Peugeot I took photo of and first Peugeot of which I upload photo here. It's hard to believe that this car is from 1988 and it's only one year younger than me.

I would just like to thank all those who contributed to this collection and to those who created these lovely items! :)
As you can see, I like AA-12s, Kukris, Stens, Shotgun Shells and Russian Rifles :P
None for trade, unless you have new Protos, Havoc Blade or Rust/White AA-12.
Thanks,

Scavrat prototype build notes:
Building lego mechs at this scale is tough, particularly hip joints. You can’t use prefabbed single joints due to the weight, and there isn’t enough room for the larger technic weight bearing turntables and pistons (At least not that I’ve been able to squeeze in).
To date, I have three lower torso/hip mount designs:
1a: Just hip abduction (leg moving away from midline of body, which is what you typically see on mech builds). Strong and simple. Utilizes 3x bricks w/ rotation joint (48171) positioned horizontally on both sides of the torso, which slot into rotation joint discs (44224/44225). Used on the Seeker, Canticle, and Matriarch.
1b: Just lateral rotation (leg turns inward and outward, more realistic for changing direction). Strong and simple. Similar to 1a, uses the 48170 brick variant in a vertical position. Used on the Seraph mech.
2: Both abduction and lateral rotation. This was my dream, a system that can weight bear while allowing full hip articulations for realistic movement. More complicated and less friction overall. For this design, I use double technic axle and pin connectors (53586) extending from the torso, which connect to axle balls mounted onto rotation joint discs. Used on the Turibulum, Arrow, and Scavrat mechs.
Most of my upper torsos weigh in around 300-400g (< 1 lb), which is fine on any of the lower torso variants. But the Prototype upper weighed in at a whopping 700ish grams (~1.5 lbs), and is also physically larger than the other torsos, which makes the mech a bit of a tippy affair. Certainly not as much fun, nor as practical for posing and shooting.
So this leaves me with a few choices. Either I can try and come up with a stronger, yet still fully articulated hip design. I can build smaller, which is no fun. Or I can try my hand at some technic framing to achieve lighter upper torsos. I’ve always been a brick guy, so technic frames are out of my comfort zone.
Would love feedback on this one.
