MattZitron Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 My latest Minifig creation is Michael the Angel. He fights for the Jutice Guild in Galaxy One. The recipe to make your own is simple. Take a Draco Malfoy Head, hair and hands. A Tatoinne Luke body and legs. Two Buckbeak wings. One of these, two of these, and two of these. And to finish it all of give him the King's Golden Sword from the Caslte of Morcia (or any KK2 sets that have it). Tell me what you think, Matt P.S: Full Brickshelf folder to follow, Brickshelf was done when I posted this. Quote
languages Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 Do you mind if I use this idea for my greak project? Its absolutely awsome. I may also feature it on my blog..... Quote
MattZitron Posted August 14, 2005 Author Posted August 14, 2005 Fire away! I take it as a compliment. Icarus by any chance? Quote
languages Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 No. One of the sons of the God Apollo. He had wings. I remember reading it in a Classics book called the Clashing rocks..... Quote
Cutty Posted August 14, 2005 Posted August 14, 2005 Sorry, but isn't Michael by any chance more likely to be equipped with a lance? Maybe you can add a dragon/large snake beneath him, twisting and winding over the earth, with Micheal thrusting his lance into it? That would be cool. Keep in mind this is only what I personally observed about christian iconography. I don't know whether Michael may appear with a sword. Armour though is optional! Depending on the era in which he was depicted, the artist may have chosen contemporary coats of arms....I think so at least :| @languages: Which son of Apollon? I cannot remember the whole convolute of the olympic gods so this name escapes me here. Is he by any chance to be found on the gigantomachy-frieze of the pergamon altar? One of the star-deities (like Iris, Eos, Nyx and the like)? Dang, if only I could remember... Or maybe one of the dioscures? Quote
