So I was browsing through the Brickshelf recent pages when a couple of SW figs caught my eye.

First was a 3-legged R2D2 by PepaQuin.

I like how he used the new 1x1 slope to finally give R2 a middle leg, maybe TLC will pounce upon this in the future.

Next were 2 great custom Ep III clones by Blasterman.

I really like the detailing on the Red clone, much better than what TLC has produced. But still I wish we had more normal clones :/

I also like the 3rd leg on R2D2. I will have to copy this idea onto some of my dioramas because it is so great!

Thanks Jon, I've noticed today the R2 unit, its just great, can't wait to have mine ;)

LEGO could do that, too.  Why don't THEY come up with these ideas?  |:|

cause they can't be bothored.

But what is that piece for R2D2's third leg? or is it a custom piece?

Its not a custom piece, its just a new piece in white (the one from the police and fireman new sets - they are in red and blue - sorry don't know the name in English) + a technic piece to attach it.

EDIT: check the link below and you will no what piece i am talkçng about and in what sets they are available in white ;)

I found a few new nice updates in Jeffs folder today.

Firstly a, rather disturbing, belville clone trooper  *wacko*
http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=1181409
which actually looks ok.. don't call me insane!

Next is a darktrooper from battlefront,
http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=1181391
which has a nice modified jetpack.

Last is a modified sandtrooper,
http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=1185640
which has a few custom parts added as well a a white shoulder padroun.

Lately I have been hooked to Blastermans minifig gallery, mainly because of all the great Star Wars figs he has been making lately.
Check it out here.

Jon.

That's a very clever solution for R2's third leg! If only I had some extra 1x1 slopes *wacko*

You have 2 in the Monster pod and 2 in the Aqua pod.

At least its not from larger sets ;)
