MisterMattias: Thanks again, I used quite a few different faces but some are duplicates. If you could remember the store then that would be great as I could do with a couple more people. Your Dream Team sure look mean! But I doubt my Rohan army could beat the imperials with spears and bows! :P Apo: Thanks as well, I also like how I got lots of different results. It is much better than having just a standard army with the same uniform etc.. Don't worry, he will be coming soon! Jon.

Thanks Jipay! *satis* But there are alot of LOTR customs out there. Jon.

Here is my rather small army of Rohan Men. I made them out of some of the spare castle pieces I have left, this was a good idea as it make them all unique qhich is good. I wanted them to have a rough appearence as they have not many supplies and old weapons and armour. This is where some of my old torso worked well. I chose to use only brown, grey and red as these are what i interpreted from the movie. Also, I tried to use rough looking faces to make them all seem like the old men protecting the fortress. Anyway, here are some deep links: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...an-soldiers.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...-soldiers_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...-soldiers_3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...-soldiers_4.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...-soldiers_5.jpg And the folder - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=93977 Of course, I need to make more Uruk-hia (see my other post) to face them, and once I've got helms deep finished (2-3 weeks, I need more bricks first!) then there will be some battle scenes. Enjoy, Jon.

Erm.. jipay, can you remember who you are??? Btw John, nice idea! Jon.

I would love to play.. except I planned to get it for PS2 :/ But I will see which one is cheaper before I decide. Jon.

Looks good jipay. But I think you should make the legs a bit smaller or make the torso and head slightly bigger. But not too much. Jon.

Nice work again Apo. I like the first one best, it looks like SNOT with the use of the curved pieces. Seems to me you have lots of time on your hands if you are able to build all these great models! Jon.

Apo, I've said it before, I'll say it again.. You are crazy, so are these models!! :D But you have made some neat little models and some nice use of parts as well. I like building little models a bit like yours when I am bored, but currently I am trying to spend my building time on helms deep. I reckon 1 more BL order and a couple of weeks and I should be done! Jon.

Hey, that was a great episode.. I really liked the conference with vadar. "We can win the war on terror.." :D and the 4 rebels part was great. I loved the monkey vadad too, that finished it for me! Great comic! I can't wait for the next. Oh and I hope you cleaned up the coke from the AT-AT pilot! :P Jon.

You sure drink alot, and memeory loss is bad you know. You will forget everything if you drink too much beer. And yes I agree.. bionicle sucks, they should put the profits from bionicle towards other themes though.. instead of stupid "super-bigger-better-3 extra parts-toa-super nove extreme!!!!" Jon.

Yes, it was all over the uk news as it was bad that he got past all the security at the home of the queen. They got him down with a crane a few hours later but it sur emade me laugh! :P Jon.

Great, but I haven't downloaded them yet. I gotta re-install winzip, but once I have I will the smilies will be mine!! *devil* Jon.

Looks strange.. I have no idea what it is. jipay: Oh my God, you have a life!! That is what my sister is always telling me, get a life. Now I realise why she says it. Maybe I spend too much time online and with Lego. Oh well, its what I like!! *satis* Btw, I have turned this topic off topic after 4 posts! Yay! it must be a record?? Jon.

Oh crap, I just read something from the site Oh... :( why cant the demo be for ps2?? Never mind, i will probably order the trilogy and game off amazon at the same time anyway! :D Heres a quote from the site.... So the answer Apo is, yes we will. Lets hope they will be good. Jon.

Yes keyboard and mouse is much better for aiming and shooting, but I prefer to play games on my PS2. Firstly its in my room, the pc is downstairs. And I just am used to the controls on PS2. Back to the site. There are some great screenshots of the game on it. I didn't check out all 69 but I looked at quite a few, plus I keep checking back to the site to listen to the imperial tune! :D Its so cool, and I love listening to it! Jon.

http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefront/ Check it out! This is a new star wars game, which I hope to get for PS2. It looks really neat, you can be in any of the battles from Star Wars. You play as a random charcacter, imperial or Rebel. I really want to play the battle of hoth, as it is my favoutite battle and closely followed by Endor. Also there is some missions from episode 3 so we get to see how freaking awesome it will be. It comes out in about 9 days (21 sept) same day as the trilogy on dvd, I will definately be getting it! :D What do you think? Jon.

Rather than make a new thread I thought I would put these new pics in here. I have updated my folder with some elves. Here are some deep links for those who want them: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...gures/elves.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...res/elves_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...res/elves_3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...res/elves_4.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...res/elves_5.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...res/elves_6.jpg And here is a strange picture I took to give you a sense that you are an Uruk-hia looking up - http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/.../uruks_view.jpg Of course, if you don't want to see the deeplinks you can wait until the folder is public here - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=93977 You can see where I uses all the Bib Fortuna torsos from my Jabba sets now. Jon.

Don't worry, I got this situation under control Apo. Now guys.. you gotta play nice. Any more behavoiur like this and.. and.. I will have to unleash... Jedi Master B-Jon!!! :oo Jon.

lol but your right, it is not often we her praise like that from a FFOL. My sister "doesn't like" my hobby and thinks I am crazy.. I told here wait till you meet some of the guys from eurobricks! :P One thing I found funny on the picture is the guy nect to the "octan" tanker. He looks like he is about to shoot his co-worker in the butt!! :D Jon.

crazyness.. yes, we got a lot of that here too. Nobody imparticular though.. :| :P Jon.

:) Thanks Apo! I really hope these will look good once I got some more. They will be a nice army, and I think they turned out well using just Lego pieces. I was going to use a custom helmet and face decal but I saved myself the hassel. Also, look out for some elves in the next few days. I have almost finished them and I will take a few pics soon. Jon.

Not sure if this is for Asia, but there is some group called the TWFOL... Taiwan Fans of lego. Jon.

So, not much progress lately on my helms deep model so I have updated my gallery with some more figures. "The fighting Uruk-hia".. I did have a few pics of them but I have taken a few better ones. They are using some custom swords and a couple of pikes by Blasterman. I don't have an army of 10,00 yet.. but they are ever-growing so I will have a few more soon. Anyway, heres the folder - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=93977 And deep links: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...gures/uruks.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...res/uruks_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...res/uruks_3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/jonfett/...res/uruks_4.jpg The picture go up to _8.jpg so you can change the URL if you want to see them. Hope you like them. Jon.

jipay, I think its trying to imply something else! ;) Jon.

I guess that mostly the stuff made in Asia is for China and Japnanese.. I'm sure that is a large amount of AFOL there. Jon.
