This is really cool! The trans fig can also be used for Tron figs, if underlit...or if they were compatible with LEGO minifig parts, there could be a Star Trek transporter effect done with a blinky light.

Well Bob,

Here is where I posted it:

I actually built this figure. So I placed in the catagories where I thought it belonged.

From what I took from this post:
http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=3809, MOCs should not be placed in the “lugnet.announce” group, but just in the “lugnet.announce.moc” group like you did. I’m afraid that I’m not seeing any resemblance to Obi-wan, but that may just be because I don’t grok Star Wars Lego much :^)

BTW, how was this made? What did you use for the molds? I’ve seen Lego bricks used to make the walls of the mold when plastic modelers cast resin parts for instance.

Very nice! If you’re going to sell copies of these, what would the price be? Also, could you do them in other trans-colors, including just plain old clear?

Adam Reed Tucker kindly allow me to use his buildings to show case my turtles. In the second photo they are battling one of Nannan Zhang’s Monsters.

Brickworld was tons of fun. By the way, the photos are links to Flickr galleries where more images can be found.

Another great painting recreation. I really love these. The attention to detail here is really impressive, like that little box thing down at her feet, the blue cuffs on her sleeves, etc. I hope you add more to this “paintings” series very soon.

Thanks, Bruce. I hope so too. I have another painting in mind, but some other things rank first. Every year one painting seems to be enough to stay busy until I will retire. ;-)

Best regards, Barbara

Hi Janey,

Thanks a lot!

Since I built these little goats I know how handy those little elastics are.

Best regards, Barbara

You don’t see many minifigs that come wearing a Dark Tan outfit. In fact I can only think of 2...and what a pair they make!

Aunt May and Henry Jones I

Neither the minifigs nor the house in the background are MOCs, so I can’t take any building credit. I just thought of a fun way to make them interact and added a word balloon.

Hi all,

I may as well post my second military faction, the Central Brick Union:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/78224984@N00/sets/72157603407759544/



The CBU was most recently in action at the AMCP at BrickWorld 2007:


http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/MagnusLauglo/Military/AMCP/image0002.jpg

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/MagnusLauglo/Military/AMCP/image0015.jpg

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/MagnusLauglo/Military/AMCP/image0022.jpg



It goes without saying, but the Central Brick Union is a long-standing rival of
the previously profiled Northern Brick Republic, and it is only a matter of time
before they clash again. Until then,they will both be engaged in a furious arms
race.

I've re arranged my Flickr account so that you can view both factions more
easily:


NBR Armed Forces:

CBU Armed Forces:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/78224984@N00/collections/72157603407859624/



I may develop other factions over time, but for now these two are keeping me
quite busy. If you want to check out more military mayhem, here's another plug
for the Flickr Military LEGO group. It is free to join and lots of fun.

Hi all,

I've been building military vehicles and collecting military figs for a while
now, and it is high time for me to formally introduce the first of several
factions.


The Northern Brick Republic Order of Battle is now on Flickr at:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/78224984@N00/sets/72157603314215850/


The NBR has been involved in heavy fighting in at least one Wamalug event in
recent years, and also at Brickfest 2006, and most recently the AMCP battle at
BrickWorld 2007.

Enjoy, and feel free to come up with rival or allied factions of your own!

EXCELLENT and very cute! Maybe a little too much??? Not sure, will you paint it or ad some deco? Anyway I like it and wish you could have it product in quantities, some guys do that ;>)

Bravo.

Because people have asked and asked again I have cast my tauntaun and listed the first one on ebay, starting at $1.99 because I don’t know what to charge. So good luck to all if you are interested:

New Theme at NWBrickCon 2007: Maxifigs

Ahoy mateys!

NWBrickCon is pleased to present a new theme this year: Maxifigs.

The idea is simple.  Take your favorite minifigure and build it at ten
times the normal size.  For most minifigures this is pretty
straightforward:  take the instructions for set 3723
http://media.peeron.com/pdf/3723-1/1/
and adapt them to the coloring and patterns of your particular minifig.

Examples:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=814498
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1528286
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2483902
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=919869

Of course, there are other ways to make maxifigs:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2613982
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2356933
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1345178

(Note that the above examples are what I could quickly find on BrickShelf,
and I have no idea, for the most part, who the builders are. . .but it
would be nice if they came to NWBrickCon 2007.)

This year at NWBrickCon there will be a prominently featured table in the
Expo Hall for Maxifigs.  Let's see if we can fill a table or two with 'em!
After you've built your maxifig (but by October 4th, please) e-mail me so
I can ensure room.  Any registered attendee of NWBrickCon 2007 is welcome
to display a maxifig.

A word of caution:  making a maxifig in the style of 3723 is not terribly
hard, but it does take time and a goodly supply of brick.  I urge anyone
interested in making one to start early so as to ensure plenty of time for
completion and, if necessary, additional materials---an experienced
builder can adapt the instructions for the legs and torso to use most any
2x brick, but head and hands show the Lego set designers' love of L-bricks
and L-plates, and some normal collections will require creative use of
existing materials.  The arms (in the official instructions) require lots
of plates or time-consuming optimization.

NWBrickCon is a annual Lego convention and exposition in the Seattle Area.
NWBrickCon 2007 will be October 5, 6, and 7 at the Seattle Center
Pavillion.  For more information, visit
