Well I suppose this is the best place to post this, so please allow me to show you my beloved Lego keychains I made myself with my (not so) little hands :wub:

We all prefer one minifig upon others, for me it was Johnny Thunder, the great Adventurer, for the rich background he was in and also for his cool hat, his cool face and his cool torso (what isn't cool about him? Ok his legs are just black).

Having bought a few JT's after my "dark ages", I realized I wanted him to be everywhere I was. My girlfriend bought me some chains and rings and I started torturing my poor Johnny!

Here he is, hanging proudly on my appartment's keys. Sadly, the first version ended up quite bad. He broke (I had used an old G string from my bass guitar stuck into Johnny's body) but I was able to find him lying in my street. So I tried to do a deeper hole (ouch) and to fill it with a very good glue (I lost some finger skin during this part) and a solid part of metal I modeled just for that purpose. Now I carry him every day :classic:

I also made a space police agent from the K-9 bot impulse set wich is still homeless or should I say "keyless"

He looks really pretty with his old school gun!

And here is the Pirate hung to my car keys:

Am I the only one to do that? It is much cheaper than a regular lego keychain and your choice is extended to an infinity of possibilities :classic:

If you have any question, don't hesitate!

Thanks for reading

Very well done on the custom keychains Decale. default_thumbup.gif The finish is quite professional and just like the official ones. I would like to make one also, but can't bear to torture my favorite MF. default_laugh2.gif

Well I bought those minifigs just to transform them into keychains. The pirate and and Space Police officer were from 3€ set, and I didn't let them the time to be a part of my collection. And I have 4 or 5 Johnnys more. But you're right, it's a kind of torture: once you've got the legs glued to the body glued to the head glued to the hat (and sometime an accessory glued to the hand), there is no way back :sadnew:. And even less when you've drilled a hole through the hat and head and body, and filled it wich a metal bar :laugh:

If you want to do that too, just by some spare MFs, you won't regret it. The effect on my friends is :"woow, a lego dude with your keys! He's cool! And what? You made it yourself?!" héhéhé

Some stores sell kits to make keychains, I don't know how to call those in english, but you know, the kind of store that sells paint, papers of all sorts, mosaics stuff, every creative hobby.

I'd love to see it if you make one!
