Hey all,
Went searching for some custom minifig designs of torsos and whatnot in Castle
at Brickshelf (a bit earlier today) and found some neat designs by Robert
Seater. Bruce Hietbrink posted about some of his stuff recently
http://news.lugnet.com/build/minifigs/?n=1279 and I guess Mr. Seater is not
posting here yet. Anyway, there’s some neat modifications and combinations here.

Couple of things that caught my eye:
The double-pick-sided beam in this pic was most striking to me. Made me think
about using them without any alterations or having a curved end (pick) and a
straight side (screwdriver). Could definitely do some damage.

Custom capes:

I think the cape on the Geonosian “armor” body accents it well. I myself plan to
use that as armor as I know others probably already have done so. I think that
spear design fits the aesthetic of that armor. I think that the Bib
Fortuna-headed creature looks great with the Tusken torso. I think the design
adds another faction to the goblin family.
Semi-custom castle figs:

The samurai yetti is a neat idea and I think some formidable battles could be
arranged between it and a Hagrid-esque creature.
There is also a variety of face alterations for both skeletons and humans, with
some novel designs scattered throughout, but the damaged ABS takes away from the
designs. And the superheros in this subfolder are not as nearly good as Robert’s
originals, as highlighted in Bruce’s post.
ALSO: Could anyone chime in with some suggestions/tips/links/previous posts
for custom torso stickers? I know about the “Sticker Printer” but I was looking
for other information as well.
