Morgan19 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) "Dark Helmet", the goofy bad guy from Spaceballs, was made using BrickForge pieces, electrical tape, Playmobil pieces, a custom torso decal, silver paint, black spraypaint, and chopped LEGO pieces.

Artanis I Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 I saw the name and immediately laughed... great depiction of the ultimate villain (loser) of all time. There's only one man who would dare give me the raspberry! LONE STAR! Quote
MstrOfPppts Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) Hahaha, this one really made me laugh! Nice job on the helmet! Edited April 8, 2011 by MstrOfPppts Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Very nice one morgan! I just recently saw this movie on tv so I remember very well this funny-looking over-sized helmet, and you really did a great job replicating it in a custom minifig. It's even nice to see the various stages of this customization. Quote
JCC1004 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Where is Colonel Sanders? We need him to comb the desert! Wonderful work Morgan! Quote

Bobskink Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 very well done. I always wanted to make one myself, will be impossible to beat yours. Quote
Darth Yogi Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Oh WOW! This may be one of my favorite customs ever. The helmet is so detailed and clean. Great job Quote
MstrOfPppts Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Just an idea, maybe you should try to make him with the short legs. Would make his height more appropriate ... Quote
Morgan19 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) I'd considered that at first but the shorter legs ultimately made the whole figure look too top-heavy, even for him. In the end I decided that the generally cartoon-ish proportions of a LEGO figure provided enough of that aspect on their own. ;) m19 Edited April 11, 2011 by Morgan19 Quote
Daimar Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Not that he is bad the way he is, but short legs would probably make him even more awesome. But that is not for me to decide. Quote
Princess Muttonchops Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Oh my God, it's Rick Moranis in mini-fig form! Great job Morgan19, he's perfect. Gosh, it's giving me flashbacks just looking at it. Kyaaahhhh!!!! Quote
