Aurore Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) It all began with that Spider Man heart torso. As soon as I saw it, I thought it would be perfect for any spider lover. So I made an arachnologist. And since I had much fun building my first custom minifig series in the Historical forum, I decided to build an other serie, dedicated to scientists. To keep my arachnologist company.Note : I hesitated between posting it in this forum or in the Minifig Customization one. I chose this one because this is sort of a MOC within the Collectable Minifigures Series theme, using only non-customised LEGO parts. Sorry if I made the wrong choice! Science & Nature - A Custom Collectable Minifigures SerieLinks in minifig titles lead to the Wikipedia page of their discipline. Spoiler sections contain a back view of each minifig. 1. Arachnologist Spoiler 2. Glaciologist Spoiler 3. Oceanographer Spoiler 4. Primatologist Spoiler 5. Future Wildlife Veterinarian Spoiler 6. Ichthyologist Spoiler 7. Ornithologist Spoiler 8. Herpetologist Spoiler 9. Chiropterologist Spoiler 10. Speleologist Spoiler 11. Mineralogist Spoiler 12. Wildlife Photographer Spoiler 13. Paleontologist Spoiler 14. Entomologist Spoiler 15. Botanist Spoiler 16. Future Astronomer Spoiler Edited March 14, 2020 by Aurore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert8 Posted March 14, 2020 Haha I know of a certain someone who'd love this series with all those animals Great job as usual, my fav are the Oceanographer and the Future Astronomer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger of Bricks Posted March 15, 2020 An entire custom Series made up of "[insert here]-ologists" archetypes? I LOVE IT!!! It'd be awesome to see any of these more particular ideas come to future Series of Lego's, and I haven't heard of so many of these professions before either! My favorite designs have to be the Primatologist, the Herpetologist (excellent reuse of Poe's Nathan Drake torso BTW), and the Mineralogist... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurore Posted March 15, 2020 @Robert8 I may have an idea of whom that someone could be... Thank you very much for your comment, I'm really glad you like them. @Digger of Bricks Thank you so much for your enthusiastic comment! I also learned quite a few things about earth science while creating them...And now I know how to spell ichthyologist! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarrellBricker Posted March 16, 2020 Very well done! I would definitely "catch 'em all"! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zoth33 Posted March 17, 2020 Well done. Very interesting idea. Nice use of existing parts in this series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clone OPatra Posted March 17, 2020 A well-composed figbarf is a beautiful thing, and boy oh boy is this a wonderful figbarf! All of your choices are fantastic and such a novel idea to create a series of minifigs on this theme. I love it! Traditionally this would've gone in the minifig customisation forum but I think it's just fine here. And now it's frontpaged as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aurore Posted March 19, 2020 @williejm Thank you very much! @Karalora Thank you! It's indeed supposed to be venom (artistic licence taken )! @DarrellBricker Thank you so much! @The Reader Thank you! I have to admit that, for some Reason, the Mineralogist is my favourite as well... @zoth33 Thank you very much! @Clone OPatra Wow, thank you so much for the frontpage! I really feel honoured! @SirRexworth Oops, sorry...it makes me GLaD I'm not you! @Vindicare Thank you very much for those kind words! @Roebuck Thank you! I completely agree with you on the subject of LEGO animals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digger of Bricks Posted March 19, 2020 By the way @Aurore, somewhat similar to this CMS, would you ever consider doing a FigBarf Series with a Pulp Adventurer theme, kinda in the same vein as your Jungle Princess vignette MOC? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
