MOC Environment Display Stand

[Capt.JohnPaul]

I'm not sure if this is the right place, as the MOC could fit into almost any theme. But I made it a medieval stand.

It's basically a box to put "important" minifigures on, you can put on patterns on the top and sides, or foliage. Hence the name, "Environment Display Stand."

Shows the top, back, above, with out the fig, and what not:

Thanks for looking, also, has anyone done this before?

Actually, I kinda like the design. It would also work really well as the foundation for statues or some-such.

Thanks. Also, now that you mention the design, I could post a picture of the insides if anyone wants it. (Though I'm sure you could figure it out yourself.)

Neat idea! I think it'd be cool to replace the dishes on the sides with shields for the soldier's faction

I just tried it. Unfortunately, the shield sticks out too much on the side, and doesn't look right. Any suggestions?

I'd have to look at the insides. This is a great idea, by the way. My chrome 3PO deserves that I make him such a stand. It's a good design, so thanks for sharing it!

Thank you. Here's your Chrome 3PO statue build:

Each side- 1 CMF display plate, 2 1x4 tiles, jumper plate, and circular piece.

Inside- REMEMBER! The headlight bricks must be 2 plates above the "bottom" base.

Interesting idea! Have you tried making a base around a Lego dice?

Thanks! I might give it a try.

By the way, have you tried using these to put the shield? You could insert them on the 1x1 round bricks. Is that what you tried?

No, though a LEGO dice does seem easier, but the stand would be small.

You mean the 2x2 round plates? Or the inside headlight bricks?

Anyways, no, I just stuck the handle/nossle that minifigs use to hold the shield into the round piece. It sticks out too far, and looses its "cubeness."

I think you'd want to build some sort of airtight cover for him, to make sure he doesn't get dust in his circuits. Maybe add some transparent panels or something to keep him safe from the elements and/or curious pets/children.

I meant the headlight bricks. Hummm, maybe I could help you if you posted a pic of how it looks.

Yes, I'd keep him in my Lego closet actually. Thanks.
