Howdy all, I've been hunting for ideas lately, so I decided to stray away from
Star Wars and Space and try my hand at some Castle stuff. This is the first
result. Though he isn't nearly Craigo quality, I think he is the best minifig
I've done to date. (I realize most of mine suck.)

I don't think this fig sucks at all = )

He has a very interesting "fantasy/superhero" quality about him...I confess
I am unfamiliar w/ the game you reference, but your character has a Fial
Fantasylook to him...The boots are a nice touch, I have always thought that
the plain legs lack detai when compared to torsos.

Is the green hair from a new set? or your own design?

I really like the silver shoulder guards...are the shoulder boars from
cannibalized Ninja armor?

I have always wanted to put a point on one of those silver broad swords...my
first attempts were rather disappointing and sadly lacking in skill...I
tried fashioning a point with symmetrical cuts using an exacto, but I took
off too much chrome near the point...
Other attemts using wire cutters and scissors failed as well, often causing
a series of white folds or fractures in the laminate...

When I get around to
building a kingdom for him, this guy'll be the main character. I'm already
working on a story. You can see the knight at:

I am always interested in new stories = )

I will have to get around to updating mine...

Please let me know what y'all think!

I wished I possessed the artistic ability and vision to "customize" my
figures in more than the general rearrangement of torsos, heads, and
legs...Heck, I haven't been able to rearrange arms lately without damaging
the the arms or torsos....
