  1. I'd be pretty pleased if the Pizza guy had ginger hair, blue trousers, and a red jacket. Maybe instead an update or a reference to Pepper from Lego island? Other than that figure, the Hun warrior, the prospector, the rock star, the detail under the armour on the space miner, and the lifeguard are the stuff I'm most interested in seeing pictures of.

    KingPixels' Marvel Customs

    Just superb! I love them all, in particular your Murdock (perhaps one of the best uses for a flick missile), Agents Of SHIELD crew, the modified Decool FF, Zola is very clever, the Professor's chair is great as discussed, and your young Avengers are spot on. Are you going to base Zola on his comic look? If you do, maybe some orange parts? Either way, I eagerly await more.
  3. Spam you say? I'm a waffle man! No muffins, no toast, no teacakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot-cross buns and definitely no flapjacks. These new members, we never had anything like this when I joined. I like trains too. And Spaceships. But not planes. I can't fly. Our we OK to do this? I mean while we can see it of course.
  4. These look great! For some reason, I think of Unitron and Power Miners when I see that Miner. Must buy, these might just get me interested in CMFs again.

    KingPixels, Sorry to hear about your Wolverine. I nearly got mine stuck, it got really, really stuck half way, but between a few minifig neck poles and plying it sideways it got out fine. I thought it may be just the head, so I tried it on the other one and well, you know the rest! CustomJoe_MD I think I'm familiar with that shield...I believe it came in some of the classic space sets. The same mould as the much revered grey castle shield, thanks, I'll look into that! At the moment my minifig of Vance Astro has an energy shield I made using one of these: http://www.bricklink...asp?P=91884pb03 With a trans red dish on top (the same construction as Taskmaster's). The Aztec patterns make it look like energy ripples, but the older shield would look much better due to the grooves. Thanks! Thing's called him that a few times, over the way windbag goes on about this that and the other. As Captain America said while battling Entropy in a Marvel Two in One, their kind always does that (in regards to villains) .

    Love the Cyborg custom! As KingPixels says fantastic idea on the helmet, the torso looks extremely appropriate for Cyborg, and his blaster is executed well. Great work!

    Super Heroes 2014 Rumors & Discussion

    I was thinking, for those who want a black Blackbird, (I'm personally fine with the new set), I was looking through the Town sets on Brickset and came across this: http://brickset.com/sets/6582-1/Daredevil-Flight-Squad Blocky, yes, and from 1998, and it'd have to be modified, but it's black, it has X logos and it looks like it might seat a couple of people. It's a shame though it was US exclusive.

    Serious question about Lego flowers

    Yep, I'm an anarchist! Next my flag poles will be flapping the wrong way, my greens, greys and reds won't match, and people will be driving on the proper side of the road!

    Serious question about Lego flowers

    Both! Seriously, I used to have the studs up, then I found some sets with them down, then changed mine to suit, as I thought I was doing it wrong, then spotted some sets with them up and thought damn it, I'll have it both ways! It's great to contribute to such an extremely serious, major and influential topic that's of dire importance to the continuation of all our sanity!

    Dr Leg O'Brick's Superhero Customs

    Thanks! I agree, I've now got Mimic, Morph, Sunfire, Longshot, T-Bird, Nocturne, and I'm working on Beak and Blink. I'll leave it at that, as I don't want to post more Exiles spoilers! Thanks on T-Birds legs, I was looking at cutting and painting and gluing when it hit me, why not use a cheese slope and a plate? The Timebroker was someone I completely had disregarded, I hadn't even thought of making him till last night. I was looking through an Exiles guide, looking at who I'd be making next, when it occurred to me, I'd got the torso, why not give it a go? Thanks on Alpha Flight, I'll be sure to get that!

    Thanks for the suggestion! It was actually a mistake, my mask got stuck on that particular head, and between the "smile", stubble, and almost identical placing of the cheek bones on that head, it does a good job emulating the original. I'll get a few more in the future, so when I do I'll try that. Thanks! So, some new Exiles that are a bit hit and miss, but before I do, a group shot of my Alpha Flight currently: So, new Exiles! Sunfire (Earth-2109) Thunderbird/T-Bird (Earth-1100) Longshot The Timebroker Enjoy!

    MOC: Professor Xavier's wheelchair

    Size comparison, bub. Thanks everyone! Nice chair ACPin, I like the way you used one of those newish SNOT bricks to get a robust headrest, and the control panel and smaller weels are great little details. Very clever idea on the wheels as well.

    MOC: Professor Xavier's wheelchair

    Thought I'd share this with you. I made this for my own custom Professor X minifigure, as I felt he needed more than a hoverchair. I based the design on my own brief experiences using a wheelchair, I tried to get arm rests and feet rests as well as a sturdy construction mixed in, as well as a real-ish scale so him and other figures don't look "strange" in it or next to it. Anyway, if you'd like photographic instructions, I can provide them. Feedback as always is welcomed! This is how it normally looks (The black studs at the bottom are meant to be caster wheels). With the arm and and feet rests folded out. Without him in it. A top view. A bottom view A side view. A back view Thanks for looking!

    Robianco Thank you! I'd been struggling to find wings for ages, I almost used the glow in the dark white Wolverine claws, but I found a picture somewhere of the wings and thought they looked fantastic. They stay plugged in extremely well, much better than most Lego alternatives. I've actually trimmed the hair (via a very unsafe method), when I next take photos I'll make sure a back view is taken. Good luck when making your own! rosalind14 Thanks, my next step is boots, and possibly the red two tone cape from some Star Wars sets! Quasar was a mistake in a way, the entire arms/legs/hands belonged to an old Castle figure, a Crusader, whose gold print had worn off like so many. I'd got the head, cape, and bracelets done, added them, and he looked great! Much better in my opinion than a blank red/blue torso. A few more to come over the next few days, including some new Exiles and an upgraded Longshot!

    I'm back! Masked Wolverine Quasar (trust me, he does have a stared cape from the Harry Potter sets, just very, very hard to see due to the camera angle) Classic Thor (boots to follow) The big three. Nuff said. Proctor (AKA an evil Black Knight hailing from Earth-374) Viper (I've got a better head, so an update will be forthcoming) Logan (Earth-811 AKA Days Of Future past)/regular Logan Enjoy!! If you have any comment, anything at all, comments, criticisms, suggestions, I'd love to hear them! EDIT: Woops, forgot one: Ronin Again, enjoy!

    Super Heroes 2014 Rumors & Discussion

    Seeing that new cowl really reminds me of Black Panther's for some reason. If we do get the purple one, I may just buy it, if only just to laugh at how ludicrous it looks. Here's the purple one in various forms: http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/5005d9ce6bb3f72460000012-590/august-1958--2009--2011-the-batman-of-zur-en-arrh--no-this-isnt-bruce-wayne-rather-its-tiano-an-alien-from-the-planet-zur-en-arrh-his-costume-consists-of-red-yellow-and-purple-with-a-much-different-logo-the-character-returns-over-the-years-in-comics-and-television-appearances.jpg

    Lego at risk of 'genericide'

    I know, and thanks, in future I will clarify further. I suppose "Duplo like" or "Duplo Clone" would be a better way to put it, just a habit I have because, in my mind, I separate Duplo from system, hence I say Megablock fake when in context to system, and Megablock Duplo, when in context to Duplo.

    Lego at risk of 'genericide'

    I read the same article, and I too thought of Lego. Almost everyone I know who isn't a Lego fan says "look at those Legos" when they see anything brick related. You think, though from a bias point of view, can you read?! It says Megablocks, not Lego! Same thing in shops, you ask someone in a Charity shop, usually volunteers who are average people, "do you have any Lego?", and get shown a bucket of 20 year old Megablock Duplo. Even online, on eBay, "Huge massive cool nice 1000 piece Lego joblot 100% official no fakes bargain Star Wars" is a (made up, but still common) example of a pile of Megablocks. So yes, I do believe that anything that's a plastic brick nowadays is called "Lego" whether it is in fact or not.

    Super Heroes 2014 Rumors & Discussion

    Maybe the space Batman is the pre-order exclusive? If they do make a Cyborg, it may just be the first DC set I've bought since 2012. Nice to see DC getting their act together if the figs do indeed appear in sets next year.

    REVIEW: 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle

    I'm sure someone more experienced will give you much better measurements, but I just gave my model a quick measurement in studs. With the wings and nose fully out, 45 studs from nose to tail, 47 studs wingspan. In other words, it'll just fit on one of these: http://cache.lego.co...LEGO/628?$main$

    Bootleg Super Heroes minifigs - worth it or not?

    Yep, I love it! Buy five or so, change the heads and necessary parts, and you've got a start on an ultimate X-Men team!

    Custom Xmen

    Well, personally, if your going down the blonde route, I'd use either this hair piece: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=90396&in=S Or this one: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=85974&in=S The first one is the one I used in black, but it looks good in blonde too. I'm really interested in seeing how you make Viper, I could never find a good body for her. And as a massive X-Men and Exiles fan, Blink, Warpath, Samurai, and the others all sound fantastic! And that sword you painted, wow, I bet that took awhile to create! Extremely impressive, I look forward to more. To answer your previous question, on who to make next, who do you like the most? Avengers, FF, some villain's? I'd make whoever or whatever you have a desire for to see made of Lego!
