custom adventurer minifg

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

thought i'd share a couple of my latest minifig creations:

This little chap is kitted out with a bucket, axe, backpack, bedroll, rope, frying pan, saw, camera and hat. I think they are all Lego parts, backpack might not be though. They were all slightly modified just to suit my personal liking before being custom painted. The fella himself was given a nice set of custom painted clothes. His canoe was made from 4522012. I cut the middle 2 brick rows out of the whole length, to get a more canoe-like vessel, glued the 2 halves back together, then filled, smoothed and painted, giving it a varnished wood finish on the inside. I'f I were to do it again I'd probably use 2 boats and glue them back to back, but I was running out of time on this so it had to do.

Our little adventurer also got a bike to play with:

yes - those are Kreo in the background - but I'm a bit of a huge Transformers fan. Don't hate me please!!!

This bike was a pain in the backside. The basic frame is from a Lego bicycle, which i cut the front forks and rear chainstays off. I then boxed in the downtube to match the real bike (Orange Sub Zero if you want to compare: http://s227.photobuc...zero-1.jpg.html ) bulked up the headtube, cut the swing arm off a Lego motorbike and fixed this to the frame then built some square seatstays to join up. The front suspension forks are also off the Lego motobike. The handlebar is a flute from the snake charmer minifig with cut down swing levers added as brake levers. It was all then filled, smoothed and painted.

Hope you like!!

I love that bike! The paint on the adventurer seems a tad messy though, but it could be the picture quality.

Thanks!

Apologies about the picture, you are right, it was the photo quality and not my painting (I hope!!) I've replaced the picture with a better resolution one.
