    BLOCKS Magazine- Your Thoughts?

    Checked 5 stores thus far with no luck, though I've still got three stores to go! Glad it sounds good.

    Thanks Rinzler for your kind words. I hadn't considered that hair, I ended up with a whole load of collectable minifig Computer Programmers (12 by my last count, I'll be running NASA next with all those), that use the same hair, so I'll give that a try! Khan was a complete fluke, I was looking for a blank red torso while digging through a tub of spares and thought, damn, that's pretty close! Ironically, it's a Star Wars torso. I'm also trying to get this hair (on this guy: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?M=sw577) for Khan, very accurate though no doubt expensive. An upcoming remake picture is coming using Gary Seven and a Space Port set... You would be correct! A couple of other quotes from people or episodes with characters in that I intend to make: "What is it?" It's, [looks for a label] uh, [looks under the bottle; sniffs it] ... It's green." "Men no longer need die in space or on some alien world! Men can live and go on to achieve greater things than fact-finding and dying for galactic space, which is neither ours to give or to take!" "That Earth outpost send word to an Earth vessel, now it follows." "Which neither retreats nor grows near, which turns as we turn. Commander, it is our judgment that we run from a reflection." "Perhaps so, but my judgment prevails."

    The what I did today thread ......

    I stayed up till 5 in the morning watching TV, sorted 500 trading cards, ate lunch, and bought a new coat (I ripped the arm off the last one).

    That was touched upon in the Spiderman series in the early 2000's. Most of Spidey's villains are totem's, Rhino, Lizard, Octopus, Beetle, Tarantula, Fly, Jackal, Kangaroo, Wolf, Bat, Scorpion, Vulture etc. In the same light a lot of Cap's villains are anti freedom (Red Skull, Flag smasher, Arim Zola, Hydra, Zemo etc) or Iron Man's tech based (Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, the Raiders etc), or something like that. I'll have to check.

    Star Trek The Original Series customs

    Thank you both! I tried more than any other of my Star Trek series to get them as accurate as possible, and I think it turned out great. Thanks for the feedback! I'm feeling like an idiot at the moment, I forgot to upload some pictures last night, I only realised this morning. Anyway, here they are: "Have no fear, O'Riley's here, and one Irishman is worth ten thousand of you. " Lt Kevin Riley (yes, the Irishman in the engine room singing "I'll take you home again, Kathleen", who nearly crashes the Enterprise into Psi 2000. He also nearly gets killed by a mass murderer, but that's a different story.) "And now, crew, I will render 'Kathleen'... ONE MORE TIME!" "Please, not again." Battle damaged Kirk And a back view. And what would a battle damaged Kirk be without,.... "I weary of the chase. Wait for me. I shall be merciful and quick." The Gorn Captain "This may be my last entry. I am almost exhausted. Unless I find the weapon the Metron mentioned, I have very little time left. Native sulfur, diamonds... This place is a mineralogist's dream! Yet... there is something about sulfur... something very old. Something... if only I could remember." Enjoy!!

    I don't mind variants! For Cheetah, maybe the Cave woman from series 5 I think?

    [FIG-BARF] Justice League and other DC Superheroes

    Loving them! Particularly Flash, Cyborg and Lantern, though I like the way you went for a different, impressive look, with Red Hood and Green Arrow, along with many others. Maybe some JSA members?

    Star Trek DS9 Customs

    "So, have a seat my friend! The crowd's getting restless." "What crowd?" "That one." "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I'm Vic Fontaine. And tonight is going to be a gas. Hit it Nanook." So, as you may have guessed, I'm a big DS9 fan. The kind people write psychology papers on. Suffice to say, it's my favourite Star Trek series, and it has influenced me greatly in life. So what better way to show my fondness for the show by making some Lego minifigs of (most) of the main crew? The starfleet uniforms I acquired off the internet, so credit goes to those who made these designs in the first place. Captain Benjamin Sisko Jake Sisko Major Kira Nerys (I guess you could say Colonel as well, but I based all my figures on their Season 6 appearances) Constable Odo Elim Garak. Plain, simple, Garak, the tailor... Dr Julian Bashir (still working on his head, any suggestions would be great!) Chief Miles O'Brien Lt. Commander Worf Lt. Commander Jadzia Dax Hard to see, I spent an hour pencilling Dax's spots on. Quark. An extreme work in progress in regards to the lobes, hence no other Ferengi's in my post. Does anybody know if the lobes detach of the Kreo one? And if they do, do they attach to a minifigure? Vic Fontaine The whole crew Various group shots: Father and Son Kira and Odo Dax and Worf And...don't forget the Redshirts! Ready to be shot, stabbed, vaporized, beheaded, blown to bits, thrown over cliffs, run over, blown into space, cooked alive and any other terrible death you can think of. I have 7 at the moment, though I'm expanding. Enjoy!!

    I'm "trying" to take photos now, so soon will either be late late tonight or tomorrow more likely. Either way, a PM will be sent immediately afterward. No Uhura, I've got the body, legs, and hair done, but I haven't got a Storm head or the money to get one, and more will be up in the next few weeks, but a lot (i.e. all the main crew plus a few others...) will be up. EDIT: Photos have been taken, just need to retake a few things here and there. Tomorrow is the likely time now, so keep an eye out.

    I'll have to give that a try! So, just like I did with DS9, a little teaser for the upcoming TOS figs (my supplies arrived today): "Risk! Risk is our Business. That's what this starship is all about." Lots, lots, lots more to come soon.

    I'm never ordering from Amazon again!

    It was 50% off before I got it, I buy all my sets to play with display, i.e. I rip the box open as fast as humanly possible and open all the bags like a caffeined idiot. I keep my boxes in storage, so personally I can live with one battered Castle box out of hundreds.

    That Scorpion tail is fantastic! Very nice parts usage, I may borrow it if that's alright for my Scorpion!

    Any Gerry Anderson fans here?

    Hi, just curious, is there any Gerry Anderson fans here? I grew up on Thunderbirds, and then moved on to Captain Scarlet, Space 1999, UFO, and Joe 90. Strangely though, I was never really into Stingray and I never actually seen any Fireball XL5 till it came out on DVD. Thunderbirds was half the reason I've strove to become a Engineer, Space 1999 taught me the dangers of Nuclear waste, and Captain Scarlet scared the c*** out of me when I was five. Its a fantastic show, but seriously, have you seen the violence in the show? Till this day, I'm nervous around car lifts, high voltage cables, high rise car parks, and cliffs. Anything after Space 1999 I found kind of meh, never liked terrahawks or the CGI Captain Scarlet, it was good, but it never lived up to what the original was to me. So, in conclusion, who here likes his, the great Gerry Anderson's, work?

    Custom Kre-O Decals

    Nice work! I always preferred that outfit of Mudd's to the one in Mudd's women or the animated series, it fitted his personality better in my opinion. Trelane's great as well. Great to see your work, I look forward to more! For reference, a picture of Trelane: http://tos.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/1x17/The_Squire_of_Gothos_107.JPG And Mudd in that outfit: http://tos.trekcore.com/gallery/albums/2x08/TOS_2x12_IMudd0130-Trekpulse.jpg

    Maybe this Lego wise for the M 113 creature, or something similar?: http://www.bricklink...sp?P=95225&in=S In grey? Any suggestions on Porthos? Most Lego dogs seem too big. I've got the main crew, Daniels, Arik Soong, and a couple of others lined up in my mind, though Phlox is going to be hard. Wow! Glad I inspired you, I look forward to seeing it! If you've got a problem with posting pics, drop me a PM, I'll try and help (I had a problem posting pictures too). I'll keep an eye out!

    Super Heroes 2014 Rumors & Discussion

    True, but Colossus isn't as wide, at least the original I'm familiar with. A mini big fig would better, or a different body shape at least.
  17. Before I start, if this belongs in town, could a MOD move it please. So, what to do with all the spares from my superhero customs, a love for town, and a load of friends who produce strange and questionable minifigs? Make some townsfolk of course! For your enjoyment, any feedback, both good, bad, or something in between is always welcome. Enjoy! Basketball fan, dock worker, motorcyclist, and some guy in a red shirt. A regular redshirt with the cutting edge of mobile technology in Legoland, a florist, another regular citizen, and a suspicious guy in a grey vest and shades. A dog walker, a nutter half dressed in a sombrero, and another basketball fan. Some more regular people, an England football fan, a teenager, and a man and woman who aren't Basketball fans. A definitely not suspicious and certainly not mentally unstable jogger, a beach house owner, another Basketball fan with a red afro (did the mayor get a joblot of these things? Seems like he's handing them out for free...) and another guy in a tie dye shirt and jacket. More regular people, another Basketball fan (no comment), and some other average citizens. Finally, another Basketball fan (aaahhhh!), a few regular people, and a barman at my minifig beach. Hope you like them, up next week, my police force.

    Yep, post number 50 at the very bottom of this page (shameless plug for my Marvel figs): http://www.eurobrick...pic=93287&st=25 Between the shapeshifter in a chicken suit and the Destroyer armour. I've since given him an undamaged torso and a cape (update soon). Sorry to go of topic in err, my own topic. Very true Reg, I felt it was a shame to leave those great torsos on one side, I hope someday you get them, as a Basketball fan I'm sure you'd appreciate them. It was nice to see Shaq in the Lego movie as well.

    Town folk by Dr Leg O'Brick

    Rinzler, I've kind of went for my own style, not all of them have been in the Sinister Six, but, a Spidey villain is a Spidey villain to me. At the moment: Doc Ock Classic Green Goblin Carnage Mysterio Lizard. Sandman and Hydro man are the two I'm working on. I've got a football shirt, some sand bricks for his legs, a clone trooper head and an orange crew cut for Sandy at the moment, and thanks for the suggestions! Why are the X-Men trashing the beach? Graviton moved into the beach house and he's having fun smashing up one of the local super teams! Reg the ARC Trooper, thanks! They're made from spares I acquired when I got some of the older Basketball sets, I don't know the availability in Poland but here's some Brickset links to the sets I got: http://brickset.com/sets/3564-1/NBA-Collectors-#-5 http://brickset.com/sets/3566-1/NBA-Collectors-#-7

    Sounds good! Good ideas, the Salt Vampire's an interesting one, may I ask how you plan to achieve it's vampiric good looks? Via the decals? The TOS stuff should be on it's way, I also got some Enterprise stickers, so more Trek stuff is being made. Stay tuned!

    Town folk by Dr Leg O'Brick

    Too true, and I have five more.... Thanks! It's actually the other way round, the Sinister five's (Sandman's in development hell currently) attacking the Bugle and the X-Men are trashing the beach in my city. But rest assured, more Superhero MOCs will be forthcoming. Yep, some guy in a red shirt is currently being loaded onto the back of a coroner's van, ready for a post mortem, though cause of death is pretty obvious.

    Any musically talented folks on here?

    I'm no way talented, but I used to love playing music, I've had to give it up, but over the years I've played the piano, guitar and Sax, a little of the drums from time to time as well. Singing as well, if that counts (though I don't boast about that).

    Any Gerry Anderson fans here?

    Sorry to double post, but another bit of Supermarionation news. Pic of the new Thunderbird 1 from the upcoming "reboot" series: http://i2.cdnds.net/...underbird-1.jpg I can't believe how alike it is to the original. It, personally, is what I envisioned as Thunderbird 1 say, 7 years after the first mission, modified and improved. I just can't believe how, brilliant, this looks. Bring on Thunderbird 2! Apparently it will be a mix of CGI and models, I have high hopes for this.

    Thanks! I've been customizing the 90s Star Trek action figures for years, so some "cough a lot" of the ideas are from them figs, but next to DS9 TOS is my favourite, so expect a lot of love for them! Who else have you made, may I ask? Thanks for the links, very much appreciated. I'd contact the MOD around here, LuxorV, and ask. He'll give you some good advice.

    Star Trek DS9 Customs

    Well, your read my mind! I'm hopefully going to order stickers for TOS soon, though I'm going to have to wait on making an Uhura, as no doubt the Storm head is rather expensive at the moment. Kang, Kor, Koloth, Garth of Izar, Khan and Marla, Trelane (one of the Pirates of the Caribbean torsos methinks), the Gorn captain, Harry Mudd, transporter duplicate Kirk, Dr Daystorm and the M5, and maybe some Kelvans like Rojan are what I've got in mind at the moment. I'd love somehow also to make Lokai and Bele from let that be your last battlefield, and some secondary characters on the Enterprise such as Lt. Kyle or Dr M'Benga. I have seen Minimate customs, though not here, but never Kero. I'd love to have a crack at the Guardian Of Forever as well, minifig scale.
