  1. Thanks. The Video clearly shows that the shields are stickers. At least the square ones in the big set. Good for customizers. There is a slight chance that the shield in the smaller set is printed though. It looks rather printed.
  2. Dark Green 62 Email Farbe, Enamel paint (glossy) by Revell This is one of the few paints which matches an original LEGO color straight out of the can. I would say 98% similarity. It is a bit glossier than LEGO, so semi-gloss it if you like.
  3. The black gargoyle is so good I don't even know what to customize. Except getting rid of the armor and exchanging the hairpiece.
  4. Oh it was you who built this. I did not realize it when I saw the MOC in flickr. I particularly like the legs. In so many builds you can see open ball joints which does not look natural. With you technique, however, the legs look very realistic. Is it still poseable?
  5. Some might say it is repetitive to have another female elf. But my heart jumpeth for joy! The forest maiden was a wood girl, but this one is different. Female elven hairpiece (with yellow ears! no fleshie!) yes please. We cannot see the torso fully yet, but it is more armored than the forest maiden, who was basically in her bathrobe. At least leather armor would be great. And yes, a new shield. Sadly not the big roundish one. Hopefull at least the newer longer shield (as in the Egyptian warrior or the bear shield). The pictures seems to show some light blue, which might deviate from the forest color scheme. The pearl gold sword sucks though because pearl gold is ugly. I would have preferred legs, but maybe there are some alternatives. Edit: Ah, so much light blue. Then she is a High Elf, the first of its kind. a new faction born. And FINALLY a female head with nougat cheeklines, which is the defining feature for Elven heads. This rare legpiece might work: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=970c01pb12#T=S&C=105&O={"color":105}
  6. Could someone confirm whether the shields with the Goblin King logo are printed or stickered?
  7. Thanks AmperZand. I like her best, too. The skeleton hands cannot move anymore. I cut them off and glued them onto the arms. To give the glue more surface to stick to I put the thin parts of normal minifigure hands inside the hollow arms.
  8. Finally, chariots pulled by big cats can be made. They don't seem to have gaps for saddles?

  10. I suggest defining figs by family resemblance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_resemblance The criteria you all have already mentioned. I would add a few aesthetic principles such as cartoonish simplification, simple colors and certain ratios of dimensions. Plus any number of classic elements like heads or hands. family resemblance is a more open concept then the usual list of exclusive criteria which definitions are.
  11. Thanks for pointing that out. Dark blue will be a very welcome color for a dragon.
  12. Interesting, are there any pictures of Ashwing yet? Or is it this yellowish "dragon" I saw in the Elves thread?
  13. Thanks for pointing this out! Hmm so it is stickers only. This gives more customization options, but looks a bit cheaper.
  14. Thanks for the review. I like how you discussed the level of detail. This is good lute.
  15. I dunno if I am allowed to revive this thread, but I honestly believe it makes sense... Good news: 1. New shield in 41150 Vaiana's Ocean Voyage. In the background there is an ominous dark green on black shield with a pagan deity's face on it. I believe it is very useful for making forest/tribal factions such as wood elved, forestmen, vikings etc. And even better is... 2. New shield and stickers in Elves Magic Rescue from the Goblin Village 41185 Not only has this set a new black shield with an epic golden eye on it, it also has two stickers or printed tiles with the same logo. The golden eye has a Sauron feel to it. If the tiles are stickered it means that it will be easy to make a new faction. Put the stickers on other shapes of black shields, banners, horse bardings etc. I can imagine any dark mystic faction from dark elves to evil humans, you name it. These two are fine examples how usele sets have a positive impact on the historic themes. 3. New banner shape in Ragana's Magic shadow castle 41180 Although they are pink and violett, there is a new shape of banners in this set.
  16. Dark Tan It has been mentioned, but I improved the recipe. MATT 89 by Revell Because this is too light pour in a little MATT 82 until it matches. I would say it gets 95% similarity. An example, here you can see real Dark Tan and my mix next to each other: Dryad Fiérce by MWardancer, auf Flickr
  17. I like that they included one Monster without lightning. It looks like a regular gargoyle.
  18. With the swirly leg piece and the wings I can finally make a good gargoyle wizard for my custom gargoyle army. Painting these might not be easy though. Do you guys think the clear parts of the wings can be detached? And do you think the inside of the swirl leg piece can be taken out?
  19. Maybe Batman has a torso backside without bat Logo?
  20. I have 5 of these mini indominus rexes, each of which cost 1 Euro. If I had used original raptors it would have cost 75 Euro. Also I like the knockoffs better, because the mini indominus' head looks more like a cold one than a raptor. Raptors look like too much like dinosaurs.
  21. Demagogue has just been outlawed by forum regulations. Due to his evil clone brand nature, he henceforth cannot appear any more. It makes him snigger spitefully.
  22. Very well done! I salute your courage to make such a product and hope you will find many who support you. Is he limited?
  23. Thanks! I hope you like what I did with the helmet you made.
  24. General Murcielago on Demagogue the Cold One Cold ones are the Dark Elves' mount of choice during all seasons, but foremost in winter, when shadows get frosty and the lizards thrive. General Murcielago and Demagogue share their hate of warm beings and flowers of any kind. General Murcielago on Demagogue the Cold One (1) by MWardancer, auf Flickr General Murcielago on Demagogue the Cold One (2) by MWardancer, auf Flickr List of customization techniques and products: - painting the beast: the Cold One is a knockoff brand mini Indominus Rex, they cost about 1 Euro, painted with thinned Citadel Games Workshop paint - always wear your hat in winter: head armor is a knockoff brand mini Triceratops head, sawed and sanded to fit, painted - you wear a hat, too, son!: the fig's helmet is made by Nicebricks, custom painted by me - look Ma, to eyes: the eyes are painted on yellow paper - Eternal flame: a Brickwarriors Naginata sawed off and combined with a flame - always bring your coat: furry cape is from CapeMadness - leg'o' lego: my usual fake leg technique for unmountable creatures: saw off legs, glue them on, conceal side with thickly painted paper - armore ohoo: armor and arm armor are from Brickwarriors, painted
  25. Hmm if I were you I would take heads, put them in round 1x1 bricks, customize a torso so it supports two heads at an angle and drill two more holes in the torso to support two more arms. The official Lego solution for four arms won't work because it uses two Torsos and this will be too tall. Or Even better, attach heads to the piece ChristopherLee mentioned.
