MiloNelsiano's CMF Series

Recommended Posts

When this contest was announced, I was really bummed out, as most of my minifigs are a long ways away from me, and I didn't think there was any way I would be able to enter. Eventually, I decided I would make a few figures anyway, just for fun. However, it was way too much fun, and I decided to BrickLink as much as possible (right before Christmas) to make it work. I really wanted to use flesh figures, but thought that yellow-toned stayed true to the CMF line. I also tried to keep the names generic, and the descriptions basic, as that to me is the spirit of the CMF line, as it allows the collector to be more creative with the figures and how they are used.

I also tried to take advice others gave me on my last build, that I need to use a better background and/or edit the background. I edited the photo of the overall shot to try and get a feel for it, but I think I need to find some tutorials on how to do it better, as it took WAY too many hours for one picture.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy! Criticism and comments are always welcome.

Avalonia

Vineyard Worker

15946442641_7836704190.jpg

Works in a Vineyard, picking fruit. Always gives each tree a hug after.

Albion Heavy Guard

15922607756_5e196b0b4e.jpg

Only deployed for the most serious of threats.

Assassin

15946441341_277d69146d.jpg

15760984998_6fe4513d7e.jpg

A master of disguises. No one would ever suspect a beautiful Avalonian Lady of being an assassin.

Flag Bearer

15760984448_c2d367ab26.jpg

Has the great honor of carrying Avalonia's colors during battle.

Nocturnus

Headsman

15326127184_52d58087d6.jpg

Some say Nocturnus uses Headsman for as small a crime as petty thievery.

Gaoler

15760983348_720c21fc11.jpg

One of several reasons to avoid imprisonment in Nocturnus. Pumpkin gruel is another.

Butcher

15947732222_687a690d18.jpg

Because Nocturnus is Vegan free! And any kind of meat is fair game.

Warlock Prince

15948400105_2c390cdec6.jpg

Can be killed by no mortal man.

Mitgardia

Border Sentry

15328766593_31e43cea70.jpg

The most dedicated snowflake counter you'll find.

Housewife

15762662617_df4a316b06.jpg

Do: Compliment her beard. Do NOT: Mistake her for a man.

Drummer

15762662027_8be3b2c04e.jpg

Leads troops into battle (and the occasional dance).

Deer Suit Guy Hunter

15760979638_be0bf96ec8.jpg

Years of experience have taught him that with a proper disguise, the deer come right to him.

Kaliphlin

Dark Mage

15946434951_6fcf453006.jpg

Expelled from the University for practicing forbidden magic.

Princess

15761094800_8e1549d78f.jpg

Not an actual princess. Only thinks she is one because that's what Daddy calls her.

Sell-Sword

15761094150_a3f12079fe.jpg

Protects whoever pays the most!

Caravan Driver

15760977118_d0c0c379fe.jpg

Rides his camel all over Historica if there's trade to be done.

You did a great job with limited resources. I love the weapons you made for your Nocturnus Headsman & Warlock Prince and I love your Housewife and Hunter figs. Great job on the Hunter's antlers!

Great series, MiloNelsiano!

The deer suit guy hunter is great, especially those antlers!

That warlock prince is very nice, especially his flail! I was wondering if inspiration came from the LotR Witch King, then I read the description :thumbup: .

The sell-sword looks great as well, particularly the shield!

Fun series! I like your CMF approach. Lots of great figs here -- hard to pick favorites -- but that Housewife is too funny!

Thank you all for the kind words. I'm glad so many people like the Hunter, he was definitely one of my favorites while making these.

Thanks. Working with limited pieces is definitely frustrating. The positive I've found in it however, is that it forces you to look at the pieces you do have in different ways that you normally would, allowing you to come up with some unique combinations.

Nice job! The descriptions are funny, and I love te flail the warlock prince has! What is his armor piece from?

Thanks. As mentioned earlier, it was from one of the Fantasy Trolls.

I had a few ideas for some dwarves, but couldn't get them to come out quite right. I was actually trying to make a dwarf while playing with the Hun Warrior helmet when I realized the bones stuck in there quite nicely, which soon led to the antlers.

Your Mitgardian lady has a pretty nice SCARF!

This really made me laugh. I'm glad you liked it.

Glad it's a favorite!

I was sure someone would catch it. I was originally going to call him the Warlock Prince of Ramgna, but thought the description would be enough of a hint. I really wish there was a helmet option for the Witch King.

Nice minifig combos, my favorites are the Headsman, Hunter and Caravan Driver :thumbup: Very nice work with that mace as well! :classic:

I'm glad you liked those, especially the Caravan Driver, just because he was one I was worried was too generic or plain.

Fun series! I like your CMF approach. Lots of great figs here -- hard to pick favorites -- but that Housewife is too funny!

I tried to keep it as similar to actual CMFs as I could (including the animal suit mascot), while also staying true to Historica. The Housewife idea came to me pretty early, but I wasn't sure I'd be able to make it look 1) natural, and 2) like a woman. It doesn't quite look completely natural when you look at her from the side, but it's really not bad.

Nice description for the vineyard worker :laugh: The headsman, gaoler, and the warlock prince are really neat figs, their weapons are quite creative :thumbup:

The housewife actually looks pretty good with a beard :look: The hunter is very clever too :classic:

Very nice combos and figs here! The headsman is my favourite!

The pics don´t do the minifigs justice though! Dark and some of them have background problems...

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm glad so many people like the hunter. It's making me consider entering him into the CCC figure contest.

It's strange because when I took the photos they didn't look as dark as they do here. When I look at the on my phone they look pretty nice. Natural lighting is difficult for me to use this time of year, but I took your advice and started using GIMP as you can see on the overall shot. I still need to learn how to use it better as cleaning up that one picture took way too long.

Awesome! I'm struggling to decide whether the Kalaphlins or Mitgardians are my favourite...
