Apache Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) So now that I have 2 months of freedom, I've decided to start making some custom history accessories. I'm going to lean towards textured items with an organic feel unlike a gun that should be totally smooth and perfect proportions. I plan on sculpting these and then casting them in Resin, so if they turn out I will post some for trade. So my questions are, what do we need that Brick Forge and Lego have not given us? Any help with ideas is welcomed, thanks!! Western: Wide Brimmed Straw Hat- Used for farmers, also used for pirate themes Coon Skin Cap- Davy Crockett, Boone, Lewis and Clark Powder horn- A powder horn that hangs like Indy's satchel would be cool, but with resin that won't work so probably one with a place for the minifig to grip Winchester 1894- The Lego Rifle that came with the western sets and used by alot of other themes reminds me of a single shot sharps or springfield...I want to make a lever action- Don't know if I can get it smooth enough Bedroll- for back of saddle Coffe Pot- No campfire is complete without Saddle Bags- don't know if these will work Mullet- Need one of these soooo bad, this should probably be the first thing I attempt Apache hair w/ headband: Will have to paint headband so it's not same color as hair Pirates - Straw hat White Wig- What is a Govnah to do when he takes his hat off? Short hair, pny tail- Think Mel BGibson in patriot Rum Bottle- Knights- Horse Headpiece- Just something different that whats out there Edited June 13, 2010 by Apache Quote
Admiral Ron Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 Great ideas! Perhaps for the western theme you can make a bowler cap? And for Knights, perhaps have a Norman Helmet. One more thing that I have always wanted that can work for all themes would be a bottle, such as one would hold rum or beer in. Good luck! Quote

Love the Bottle idea and your right, it work for numerous themes, Quote
