Hello fellow AFOL I'm a huge fan of Science Fiction and I love to build Lego armies. Even though I collect mostly Star Wars sets I like Sci-Fi so much I often use them to create my own stories, settings etc. One of the most problematic aspects of Lego Sci-Fi army building is for me the creation of "alternate weapons" for my Minifugres. Sometimes I want to make special weapons/heavy weapons, sometimes the Minifigures come with weapons I don't like ( the "stud shooters", for example) so making new, alternate weapons is an important aspect of many of my projects. Sadly the best custom weapons require parts I find difficult to obtain where I live (unless I "salvage" them from the sets I already built) and third parties Minifigures weapons are often sold form US stores (thus with considerable shipping costs/issues) I recently made several weapons with spare parts. I thought it would be easier to make a little video to show them This is just a starting point. What do you think? Do you have other Lego Sci-Fi weapons builds to share? This is what I have been able to do with the parts I obtained, so I had many limits. I also tried to make the "stud shooters" looking more "weapon-like" Not an easy task though. I posted this topic to brainstorm all the ideas we have. It would be nice to have several idea available in a single topic Thank you for any assistance, ideas, etc. I know there are many Lego fans who consider the making a alternate Minifugures weapons an important part of the hobby, so feel free to share any idea EDIT: [update] I made a second video to show additional Lego weapon designs. You can watch it here I hope you'll find some useful idea for your projects here
