    From armor to architecture, this looks great!
  2. Luke Styer
    I like it. Did you do much design work first or did you just dig in and figure it out as you went?
  3. Luke Styer
    No, he really doesn't. I like the copter design, though I would prefer a less Spider-Man-specific color scheme. I like the Hydra tank. I think it has the sort of semi-real-semi-fake look that a lot of comic book vehicles share.

    It is a very nice figure. And the minifigure has only been in one set, so even if the character is overused, the minifig isn't.

    And yet your profile pic is of an "X" character. The world is truly a strange and wonderful place. :)

    Beautiful car!
  7. Luke Styer
    Which, as I said in the private messages, is service way above and beyond the call of duty! Thank you so much! I had never even heard of these. Neat!

    I'm already wondering whether that Headquarters set will work as a S.H.I.E.L.D. base for my Marvel mini-figures.
  9. Luke Styer
    Yeah, I absolutely love this building. I've been wanting to build an auto repair shop, so this speaks directly to my current interests.

    I think I saw a sheet of license plate stickers for sale once somewhere, but I have no idea if it was on ebay, or a specialty website or what. Those plates on the pic El Garfio posted are pretty much exactly what I am looking for.
  11. Luke Styer
    Great looking truck. This is a design that could work nicely in a variety of color schemes with different logos on the sides.

    Does anyone know of a third party who makes license plate stickers for mini-figure scale cars? Some official sets come with one or even two, but I'd really like to have decent looking stickers I could put on a 1x2 tile for my MOC vehicles or for official vehicles that don't come with the appropriate stickers.

    I don't know. While the car looks really cool built according to directions, I'm wondering how well it would convert to a "regular" police car. I've been considering trying to change out the blue pieces on my CITY police cars for black and if I did, a conversion of this set would make a great addition.

    That Batmobile looks great, and I am pretty sure it looks better without the third fin than it would with. My only thought, and I wouldn't go as far as to call it a suggestion because I'm not sure how it would look, is that I notice the "game" model has little circles on top of the engine, and I'm wondering if you've tried replacing those 2x1 grating tiles with a couple of 2x2 round plates.
  15. Luke Styer
    This is great. It's the perfect Batmobile for the light blue Batman coming up in the Juniors Batcave.

    You can make a pretty fair purist Tenth Doctor. I did Ten and a few others, mostly purist, in this thread. For the Tenth Doctor start with the Alien Conquest Business Man for a blue pin-striped suit, use the hair from Team GB Relay Runner, and add the head and hands of your choice depending on whether you prefer fleshy or yellow.

    All three look good, but Moon Knight will be much improved by the addition of the upcoming white hood piece. I'd love to see that Moon Knight design printed onto some more colors.

    Almost all the designs, even "original" designs are stolen because they are almost always non-licensed products featuring characters and designs that are protected by copyrights and trademarks. If you as an individual design your own Daredevil minifigure that is recognizable as Daredevil, and you then print and sell it, unless you have a license from Marvel, which seems unlikely in light of TLG's license, then you're basically selling a "stolen design." Not to mention from Marvel, DC, Lucasfilm and a few other well-known media companies. Like I said before, I get that stealing other people's designs is bad form, but I'm not sure I get why it's considered worse than selling unlicensed products based on copyrighted and trademarked characters. If your Daredevil figure is based, without permission, on some other individual's unlicensed Daredevil design, you're still stealing that dude's design, much like if Al robs a bank, and then then Bob stops Al as he makes his getaway and steals the cash from Al, Bob's still a thief. But is Bob's theft from Al somehow worse than Al's theft from the bank?

    I combined the red suit with the triangle with the War Machine suit to get a purist approximation of the Silver Centurion suit, though my mind was more on the comics version of the Silver Centurion armor.
  20. Luke Styer
    Arguably the Green Goblin from the Ultimate Spider-Man comics already looked quite a bit like the Abomination, but Abomination was my first thought when I saw this figure, and I think I'd probably use it as Abomination, if only so I have another big figure to "fight" my Hulk.
  21. Luke Styer
    Probably a typo for "badge."

    I haven't ordered any complete minifigures, but I ordered several of their printed torsos and am very happy with them. I'm a bit on the fence on that issue. On the one hand, it's definitely bad form. On the other hand, most custom minifigures that are sold are derivatives of other people's intellectual property in the first place. If Customizer A is selling a Daredevil minifigure that is based on Customizer B's design without Customizer B's consent, yeah, that's bad form, but I doubt either one of them has the consent of Marvel to use the character in the first place and are thus violating both the copyright and trademark on the character's design and, indirectly at least competing with LEGO's license for the Marvel characters. So even if one sells only one's own, original, copyright and trademark infringing designs, there remain issues.

    Looks nice! I usually go "fleshy" for modern minifigures so that my civilians match my superheroes, but since I have a lot of knights and kings and such from Castle themes, I like yellow for my fantasy / medieval type minifigures, so I'm happy to see how well this works.
  24. Luke Styer
    Gorgeous MOC. I agree that the bright green substitution doesn't get in the way of recognizability. I don't know how workable it'd be in terms of parts, but a single color build in say red or blue, with slightly fewer greebles, would make a beautiful car for a City display as well.
  25. Luke Styer
    Wow. Those are nice looking. I wish those were still in production!
