Jasbrick Posted January 6, 2010 Hi, It has been a while since I last posted and I thought I would start by a review of all the work I have done over the last year (my first as a customiser). I would love to show every single one, but due to the sheer number I think it best to show an example of each theme that I have played with and a link to the set in Flickr if you want to see more. So here they are! Castle (a relatively new theme for me which I will be doing more in soon) Centaur Swordmaster Castle Set Link Jin Roh (Alternative WWII with German occupied Japan influence) Special Police in Protect Gear Armour Jin Roh Set Link Stargate Jaffa Horus Guard Stargate Set Link Steampunk Steamtrooper Steampunk Set Link Zombie Hunters (One of my favourite themes) Pyscho Zombie Hunter Set Link Brikviet (My absolute favourite theme) Ground Support Pilot Brikviet Set Link WWII German Sniper Team WWII Set Link HALO ODST Trooper HALO Set Link Comic Heroes Iron Man (Auctioned off as part of Creations for Charity) Comic Heroes Set Link Star Wars Airborne Ranger Clone Trooper Star Wars Set Link Space Pirates Slayer Space Pirates Set Link Corporation Military Contractor Corporation Set Link Briktish Grinning Death Briktish Set Link Krieg Krieg Paratrooper Krieg Set Link Napoleonic Sharpe, 95th Rifles Napoleonic Set Link That is pretty much it for the major themes... sorry if this is too large or contravenes a rule, however I thought it was best to get it all in one post. I hope you like these and I will try and do better this year. Jasbrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy Posted January 6, 2010 Gosh, you're so talented! Your style is quite unique, though, it looks like LEGO minifigs melted with Warhammer figs. It might be the future of official LEGO figs as well, but at least I hope they stay in the simplified, stylized form they are now. So while I probably wouldn't buy your figs for MOCing purposes, they are fantastic in their own right. I especially love the Steampunk theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mraz Skintas Posted January 6, 2010 Wow, Jasbirck, your minifigs are fantastic. I like all of them an equal amount. Keep up the great work, and I can't wait to see some more from you. -'Skintas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand the comment regarding the warhammer figs, however it is very difficult to customise without at least attempting to include some detail. In most cases I hope that my figs stay true to minifig style, however I do admit that I have gotten carried away in the past (e.g. Stargate Jaffa). I create my figs principally for my own use (even though I do sell some through Firestar) and I suppose it is mainly down to what we each feel is appropriate.

The Crazy One Posted January 6, 2010 I love your creations. You are an amazing customiser! Stargate is probabley the best custom I have seen! Just out of interest, do you use Warhammer paints? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasbrick Posted January 6, 2010 I love your creations. You are an amazing customiser! Stargate is probabley the best custom I have seen! Just out of interest, do you use Warhammer paints? Thank you very much.... with regard to paints etc. I describe this in my blog here. Jasbrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy Posted January 6, 2010 Thanks... I understand the comment regarding the warhammer figs, however it is very difficult to customise without at least attempting to include some detail. In most cases I hope that my figs stay true to minifig style, however I do admit that I have gotten carried away in the past (e.g. Stargate Jaffa). It's not just about details, but also the color palette (you use mostly muted and dark tones, and tons of more shades than LEGO) and the shapes (your accessories have smooth and round corners, many cracks and crevices, and altogether more three-dimensional shapes). This all adds to the professional, high-quality feels of your figs, but also takes away their compatibility with official LEGO pieces, creating quite a stark contrast. But as said, that is your style and you should definitely keep true to it, instead of just trying to copycat the authentic LEGO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlyOwl Posted January 6, 2010 Really nice work, you've had a great year of customising! I need to look through this galleries in more depth now. That centaur is especially nice, great blend of horse and minifig. Looking forward to more castle customs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoryoCox Posted January 6, 2010 These are really great. I am embarrassed by the comparison of your customizations and mine. Yours are just brilliant. The Jaffa Horus Guard, it really is just astonishing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted January 6, 2010 Woah. Did you make all those custom pieces yourself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted January 6, 2010 That's incredible! I'd love to see you try the Black Kit for the SAS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasbrick Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Woah. Did you make all those custom pieces yourself? A lot of these rely on pieces from Brickarms, Brickforge, Arealight, MMCB, Amazing Armory and probably most importantly Lego. Jasbrick That's incredible! I'd love to see you try the Black Kit for the SAS! Do you mean like this: Jasbrick Edited January 6, 2010 by Jasbrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Omicron Posted January 6, 2010 For your first year, it is very impressive. It's always interesting to look back on one's work and see how they improved over time (I do it as well). Anyways I enjoy your work dude. Keep it up. -Omi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jasbrick Posted January 7, 2010 ooh. a very good post. this is tempting me to make a 'Review' of my own customs... I might do just that!~tin7 I look forward to seeing that... going through everything you have done can be a very useful exercise, for me it showed me the gaps in my collection and helped me decide where I want to take things in 2010.

The Penguin Posted January 7, 2010 A very nice selection, indeed. ) Well, the level of your minifigs is really high, not to mention the detalization. One which even LEGO has never done. ) I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us in 2010. Keep the work up! ) Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoDad42 Posted January 7, 2010 Just great looking mini-figs! Love the creativity...the details...the weapons! The Centaur and that German sniper team have a real professional look. Wish Lego would do a WWII themed line...tanks, fighter planes, army platoons. Also the Psycho fig with the Che-shirt is spot on. Only someone mentally ill would wear a Che shirt...perfect.
