the shadow is in the last picture on the super craigo-lego page of my site. my
site, "craigo-lego" is over in the clsotw nominees again this week, so use the
link there, and gimme a vote! i've just gotten back some great photos of the
20's mini-fig cars i've made using adv. grilles, windsheilds, and wheels. i
want to post them next.
the shadow 'fig is relatively easy to do. i had to paint a wild west bandana
red for it, but i also think the bottom half of a red nija hood would look
good. (i did this in grey for my jack the ripper 'fig. see him deep in the dark
heart of the transy-lego-vania pages)
"The Man Who Would Be King", starring sean connery and michael cain, is one of
my absolute favorite movies! other adventure films that would look great
rendered in lego would be the terry gilliam trilogy of "Time Bandits", (which
has lego references, btw) "Brazil", and "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen".
another i thought of is "Goonies", a good off-beat adventure tale, with a
pirate theme.
i'm trying to think of more with a 1900 thru the 20's setting... boy, a
rocketeer "fig would be cool....
later ~ craig
