jonfett Posted August 31, 2004 I have updated my Helms deep gallery with some custom figures I have made. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=93977 - When Public http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...res/aragorn.jpg Aragorn was pretty simple, I could have chosen a better head but I liked this one. I had to use a black marker just to fill in a gap between the hair line and the hair piece, but you can't see it very clearly. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...res/legolas.jpg For Legolas, I chose to paint the qui-gon hair piece tan. The tan paint I chose was very close to Lego tan. I will try and get a comparison picture of the two. I also gave him a pair of Jeffs smitars, although they are not too movie accurate. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...gures/gimli.jpg Gimli required the most customizing. I kinda borrowed a few ideas of a Gimli I saw on Brickshelf. I shaved the sides of the beard off so his helmet fit and then I painted it brown. Not that close to the new Brown but it is just a little lighter that the old one. I also removed the front bit of one of those ninja armours so his beard would fit. He is armed with an axe by Jeff. Hope you like them, any questions please ask. You can check out the rest of my work on Helms deep here - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=85183 Jon.

ApophisV Posted August 31, 2004 WOW!!!! :o those look so fine!!!! very great job!!!! keep this good work up!!!! one question though: whats the torso of legolas? is it custom? can't remember to have seen such piece so far... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonfett Posted August 31, 2004 Thanks for the kind words Apo. As for the torso, it is actually a useless (well not anymore!) torso from a gungan fig. You know the one from Gungan Patrol, not Jar-Jar. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?M=sw013 It turned out pretty well and works much better than this one - http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.as...asp?P=973p48c01 - which I was going to use.

Jipay Posted September 1, 2004 Well nice job, it's good to finaly find some people in your creation. I really hope your project will expand ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sam89 Posted September 1, 2004 Your Helm's Deep is going to be awesome when it's finished. Helm's Deep itself looks excellent and very accurate, the orcs and battling ram are cool, and now you've got the main characters in there aswell :happy: I think Gimli is my favourite, but Legolas and Aragorn are great too.
