[Purist Custom Figures] Friends Minidolls to Minifigures
King_of_Lomadia posted a topic in LEGO Town
I've been getting a bit more into Lego Friends recently and I wanted to incorperate the characters into my other stuff. To that end I turned the main cast of Lego Friends The Next Chapter into minifigures. I struggled a bit with Olly's outfit, but I think this jean jacket does the job. Paisley is my favourite and this t-shirt and coat combo was just perfect. Don't worry I got her guitar too. For Autumn I knew I wanted to include her prosthesis. To go with that I recreated the wall climbing outfit. This face for Aliya was just right. I'm quite happy with this outfit too. Zac came out really well, the facial expression is spot on. Adding red arms to the hoodie worked out great. I feel like Leo's oufit could be better, but this jacket gives a sporty look. Liann's dungarees might not be coral coloured like in the show but I love them all the same. I'll be honest, Nova's outfit doesn't match at all. I just thought she needed a cool jacket. Here's another groupshot showing off some alternate faces. Who's your favourite character? Thanks for checking out my post :) -
Hey guys! :) I got the LEGO Friends Central Perk for chistmas last year and started to moc it into a modular building. I already finished ground level with the café and need some more Bricklink orders before I can start with the first floor. I attached some pictures of my progress so far, I hope you like it:

To meet the increased military threat from Fabuland, and with the situation in Lego City escalating quickly, Heartlake City has decided to purchase the Archer artillery system to increase the defence capability of the Friends Army forces. "Nothing smells victory like burning white phosphorus stuck on the plastic of the enemy" -General Emma Archer the next-generation self-propelled gun, with barell exended to shell out peace and democracy. The "heart" of the system is a fully automated 115mm/L52 gun howitzer and a remote M151 Protector controlled weapon station (for any close encounters #metoo). All mounted on a modified 6x6 chassis of the Volvoo A30D, all-terrain articualated hauler painted in your favourite colour, The hauler features big rear mirrors for those pesky parallel parking situations when you need to stop quick for a ice cold strawberry vanilla sparkle milkshake. (Warning: Burning cities in rear view mirror may appear closer than they are.) Archer with friends, A reloading vehicle to extend the fun and a M1 Abrams for company..

Hello dear Lego fans, After having signed up here in the Eurobricks forums in 2011, I posted a new thread in the "Hello my name is..." section about my plans to create my own Lego City layout. Now almost 9 years later, I can finally show you some of the progress that has been made just at the beginning of the new decade :) Good things come to those who wait. Renovations on the attic are finally complete (apart from the lighting) and we now have around 110 m² to unleash our imagination. The current plans of the Lego city layout add up to around 60m² in size and they are, as you can see in the video, far from finished. However, I thought you might be interested in some of the things that my girlfriend and me were designing in the last couple of days. The name of the city is still unknown, but the overall design has started to take shape with a downtown area, which includes all the modulars, and shops, a residential area, an amusement park, a winter village, a train yard and a harbor/beach area. I would also like to add an airport to the city and some of the classic monorail tracks have been placed already. We are also getting into MOC a little bit and we will add our own creations to the layout as soon as they look nice! The commentary of the video is in German, but I am trying to add English subtitles into the system. Please let us know what you think here in the forums or in the comments section of YouTube. I will keep you posted on future updates if you like :) Note: All of the parts used in this layout are original Lego parts, except for some of the baseplates. I thought that lime green in the Hogwarts castle area might look cool, but I will probably exchange it for regular grass green baseplates in the near future. Thank you so much for taking a look! :) Christof

Hi there! This is my new MOC - an alternative build of official set 21319: FRIENDS Central Perk. The inspiration behind is that displaying every set at home is so impossible for me (small flat i am living). When new sets come, old sets have to go. However, instead of putting the old sets back to their boxes, why not reducing it into an IKEA photo frame and then hang it on the wall! Then I can exhibit it with so minimal space and keep it free from dust too! I posted a short animated GIF in below link showing how to build it. I hope you will enjoy it :) https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-33700/beewiks/lego-frame-friends-central-perk/

A new start Dumbledore: 'Minerva from this time on we will be doing it all differently. You are now looking at the new and improved Dumbledore! Call me Hipsterdore! I even had the Fab 5 redo the staff room. We are going to work on being a professional learning environment for these kids.' McGonagall: 'Sure...' Flitwick: 'You both are aware that I am an actual teacher and not a house elf. There is no reason for me to be serving you.' Dumbledore: 'Shush, Dobby!'

Hello everybody! ? A list for the Winter 2021 Friends sets appeared on the usual place: 41444 Organic Cafe (30 dollars), 41447 Park (40 dollars), 41448 Cinema (50 dollars), 41449 Andrea's House (70 dollars) and 41450 Shopping Mall (100 dollars) could be interesting if the buildings were (minimum) two floors tall, had decent sidewalls and if the colors weren't too extremely girlish, don't you think?

Hi, this is my moc of the year: the Sonic building. Largely built on Friends' Central Perk Lego IDeas, I had to find someway to complete the building. And this is my final outcome. It was a slow process, as usual, brick by brick with no digital design, until I found my personal taste. The back is more detailed than usual, since at the beginning my intention was to place it in my city to be viewed from both sides. (Ironically, nowadays it stands with his back against an hill…) There is the possibility to shift the left building from orange palette to pink palette. Here you can see the arrangement of the ground floor. Finally here you see all the modules, floor by floor. Hope you like it! Wish you the best Rava edit: Sonic is on the side!

My wife asked me to take apart set 40171 I gave her few years ago. When I did it I got idea to build something from it. And what is the best alternative model from any set? Helicopter! This one is even little bit special. It features opening windscreen, both rotors can freely spin and it still keeps appearence of original hedgehog - snout, thorns and four legs. So this is what you get when you crossbreed hedgehog and helicopter - Hedgecopter Building instructions are available at buildinst.cz And this is original model: Any comments are welcomed.

Hi everybody, recently I finished my "Friends Central Perk" MOC building and now I like to share some impressions with you. The building is completely modular and equipped with interior. It consists of the Central Perk cafe in the first floor, a bowling alley on the second floor, three floors of labs (two fictional and one realistic) and one apartment at the top. For more details you can have a look at my YouTube channel. I hope you like it :)

Hi Friends, Happy New Year! Wanted to share a new modular building I have completed over the holidays. This model combines the facades of two LEGO Friends sets that I've collected; 41093 Heartlake Hair Salon and 42618 Heartlake City Cafe. This will go on a street of Miami/Florida esque modular buildings that also use the MILS standard. -The 41093 was put towards a single story building on the modular standard before, but I wanted to revamp it, make it sturdier, and simplify the color palette. Also, since this was built 9 years ago, the parts palette is much larger for this new build. -The barber shop/hair salon comes with: waiting room, cash desk, haircut area, shampoo and blowdry stations - Due to the abundance of cafes, I decided for something different with the 42618's facade. Since the color scheme has a Wynwood vibe to it, I went with making it a tattoo shop and private office. This was also adapted to two stories and includes some masonry bricks in the Spring Yellowish Green color that I was able to acquire in bulk. The details are just improvisational and minimal, but the essential stuff is there. Here's a video explaining the design & details and some high-res pics showing the exterior and interior! Enjoy, and I hope this inspires similar and better creations from you all! \

Here is my review on LEGO Friends 42641 Surfing Dogs and Scooter Adventure: THE GOOD: The Corgis are excellent and good. they include not one but two. The scooter is a fun build. THE NOT SO GOOD: none. Once again LEGO Friends delivers with small sets like this. I'm going to be honest, just like most people, I bought this set for the Corgis. And they are excellent and the overall mould and prints works well with LEGO City too. Including two, even though it's a colour variation is very good. Surprisingly, the scooter is also a fun build, at least for me, I haven't build anything like that yet. Land yatch is simple yet functional but I did have a thought, may be it can minus the land yatch and make this set the lowest price point but current pricing still very competitive. And never will say no to minidolls because they often come with cool hair and head gears. IF you like to collect LEGO animals like me, this is definitely a set for you.

I was wondering whether to put this on the train forum or here- but technic won out. -
Here is my review on LEGO Friends 40694 River Camping Adventure: THE GOOD: Great little set looking good with a fun tent build. Lots of cool parts included in this. Extra leaves allowing you to change season. THE NOT SO GOOD: none Only got this last week because of order arriving late but it's totally worth the wait. Despite being a small GWP type LEGO set, this set is actually better than a lot of other sets available at this price point. First it's looks good and also was pretty fun to build. It's nice to see instead of a plastic film material type of tent, they opted to do brick built. The end results is greet with interesting use of parts and a few stickers to enhance the design. It even features 2 lovely sleep bags build inside. The overall terrain is great, again use of sticker to give it more details on the river and it's actually look good on every angle rather than just a front facing build. There are also some interesting parts included in this like the printed beetle tile, printed minifig head as a jar of fire flies. And there's more, LEGO also included extra leaves in different colour to let you change the season. The minidolls are Paisley and Nova which I like because you get 2 cool hair pieces which you can use for minifigures if that's your preference. It's really one of the best GWP this year and I would totally recommend this if you can still get your hands onto this =)

This model was built from a single picture of 2024 Friends set 42638 - Castle Bed and Breakfast. I made the model in my own style, while attempting to keep the proportions of the set. I gave it a fold open back, and had to redesign the turret-area as I had no clue how they assembled it in the set. The official roof was likewise unfamiliar territory at the time, so I originally improvised a new one using bricks and slopes. (which was a total pain) Since the set's instructions came out, I replaced the roof with the one from the set. The early-1930's Duesenberg SJ seen out front of the house is based off the car seen in Indiana Jones set 7682 - Shanghai Chase - from the 2009 Temple of Doom line. I updated the car's look with parts not available 15 years ago, and added a hardtop roof among other things. The rear isn't too exciting: I added a back door, and added a chimney by the turret up front. The building is also removable from the modular base so it can open up. The ground floor features the living and dining rooms. The ground floor near the stairs features a telephone and painting. The second floor features a writing desk along with a table and lamp. Inside the upper part of the rear half featuring the stairwell. (There isn't much to say about this bit.) The third floor features the bedroom and bathroom. The front of the vehicle alongside the owner of both the house and car. The rear of the car. The car seats two figures inside the cabin. Comments, questions, and complaints welcome! -
Here is my review on LEGO Friends 42638 Castle Bed and Breakfast: THE GOOD: Looking beautiful. New and interesting building techniques through out to create some of the exterior architecture. Packs with interior details with a stunning bathroom. Interesting new pieces like new printed postcard & rubber duck with no eye prints. THE NOT SO GOOD: can't find any. This is another absolute stunner from Friends. Already caught my eyes when it was first announced and I did prioritise my budget to get this first. And I was not disappointed. First, it looks absolutely beautiful with perfect colour coordinations and interesting details both on the exterior and inside the interior. It also have one of the most refreshing build I had lately because the new techniques they use to create the exterior. Especial the curved pillar type structure, it's so smart is also built the curtains for you to view from the inside. The build is designed to stack each level on top of each other in a modular way. It's not fully connected but much tighter than your typical modular build. One thing to note is that it looks smaller than you see in picture but it still look good. And it also utilise the microphone piece very well. Each level has very detailed interior, I particularly think the bathroom on the top level is one more the most elegant bathroom I've seen so far. the combination with the windows structure just made it even better. There is also a very interesting customisation do with the beds as it can be configured between double and 2 singles. This set also comes with some interesting new pieces like a new printed post card/letter tile which I absolutely love. Also a rubber duck with no eye prints. The minidolls are great with very fitting details and I particularly like Renee's hair style. Making this full modular can be challenging as it requires planning on what needs to be incorporated if you decide to build the other half of this building. With a more reasonable pricing compared to other reason sets and not difficult to get 20% off this set at least, I'm indeed tempted to buy another one to try modularise it. This is another set that I would absolutely recommend!!!

Here is my review on LEGO Friends 42620 Olly and Paisley's Family Houses: THE GOOD: Both houses look great with great colours. Two houses are separate, yes not connected but you can place next to it. Both houses has very nice exterior details. Paisley's house has the edge in terms of interior details and one of the most detailed dinning room. THE NOT SO GOOD: Paisley's dinner room despite being very details, it's very inaccessible due to the roof cannot be opened easily and very tight space. This is one of the 2 friends sets in this wave that caught my eyes when the wave was first announced. The modern mansion and this. With some luck, this set was on 25% discount so bought it without hesitation. And it's GOOD. It's looks very nice and even in LEGO city, you rarely get to see houses with such unique characters and looking great at the same time. I really love the colours on both. And don't let the product image deceive you, you actually get to build 2 separate houses. There are nothing to fix them side by side on default. Both houses looks great on the exterior but I like Paisley's one slightly more. Olly's one has some nice designs but overall lack the same level of both exterior and interior details of Paisley's. And the vanity in the toilet may be just a bit too high for any minifigures or minidolls. Paisley's house has much more details, I like the exterior texture of the chimney and Paisley's also has a very very detailed dinning room with stove, fridge and dinning table. Also featuring a LEGO child sit! Despite all the cool details, Paisley's house is very hard to access as the roof is not easily removable. So you pretty much left to place minifigures or minidolls from the opened back side. And there are no rooms to do this for the dinning room. I wonder why they even bother to make the fridge openable lol. It's also a welcome to have a new leaves element with very nice violet colour. With 6 minidolls, it a set pack with details and fun. I do wonder why Paisley's mother is missing. I'm also very tempted to buy another one to make a full enclosed house but have other priorities on my wish list. This is probably the 2nd best Friends set this year, given it's very hard to top the Andres's mansion. With a very accessible price and lovely looking houses that can easily fit into any LEGO city, it's definitely a set not to be missed out!

For this mid-century modern styled model I took two pictures of half of 2024 Friends set 42620 - Olly and Paisley's Family Houses - and recreated / heavily modified it in LDD. I added a back half, changed the colors, put in a fireplace, and placed new furniture everywhere. I even put in a spot to park a car by the back door! The first floor separates from the second story, but to get at the inside of the upper floor it folds open on a hinge. The rear of the house with the chimney flue visible. It was quite a pain to install that with the roof made the way it is, but it was ultimately doable... although it's not exactly what I wanted it to look like when I started. A comfy chair, standing lamp, kitchen table + chair, fireplace and trash can inhabit the first floor. The second story has a bed and Hi-Fi stereo system hooked up to a record player. Judging from the stack of rock-n-roll albums, this person loves good music! I have priced the model out and according to Bricklink it costs about $60 (US) before shipping, vsersus the set's $100. Of course, the original set has 1,126 parts, while mine has barely over 500. (506 to be exact!) It remains to be seen if I will be building this model in real life, but if I do, I will be using another 2024 set (76424 - Flying Ford Anglia) as the car that goes with it, simply because it fits the era. Thoughts?

Here is my review on LEGO Friends 41748 Heartlake City Community Center: THE GOOD: Looks great and it is actually very tall. While the building experience is not difficult but lots of small details with refreshing take. Some of the interior furnitures are great! (e.g. red couch, big gaming TV, sewing machine ... etc) Extra points for the big graffiti/artwork being printed. THE NOT SO GOOD: Without discount, this set is very expensive even the overall quality is above and beyond. Another excellent set from latest Friends wave. I had a blast building this. While the building experience is not difficult but there are lots of small details with some interesting ways to create the exterior design and lots of small furnitures. I'm also surprised the number of stickers is very low. So happy that big graffiti/artwork is printed. Each floor with distinctive colours and themes, I particularly like some of the interior furnitures. There are so many great chair builds in this, some of them won't fit normal minifigures but the look and overall building design are so good. I also like the big gaming TV. Due to its mordular designs, you don't necessarily need to have it set up with current arrangement. The minidolls are good even though I'm not a minidolls collectors but all of them come with great hair pieces which are minifigures compatible. The only down side of this set is its price. To be honest, if not because I managed to buy this 75% off (pricing glitch from a local shop and they honoured the price) I probably end up not buying this due to priorities and end up missing an excellent set. And this set is compatible with the community kitchen set released at the same time which would put the price up even further. But, inthe end, I still recommend this set as it is really great as long as you can afford this. I also regret that I didn't order more than 1 when the price was 75% off since I really want another one to build a full modular on this. May be need 3 or 4 XD
