For whatever reason the inspiration hit me last night that the UFO aliens' shoulder pads would make a great barbarian horde leader-type guy... and the new Bulls' leader's head would go along great with that scheme... however since the back of the (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) hey, dave~ the spanish armada helmets and visored helmets fit well with the shoulder pads. the result is a bit fantastical, though, suggesting advanced metalurgy skills that barbarians may not have. a fright knights batlord helmet also works (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

What would be extremely cool for an Ice Knight soldier would be a white mini- fig with blue arms and hips, silver breastplate, clear shield, lt. trans blue spear, ninja head, and a white ninja swath thing that goes on the head. But the sad thing is (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

I've used them w/o a helmet. I used an all white minifig and put on the aliens shoulder pads and the used old Islanders hair (the black one that pulls kinda into a knot at the top of the head). I can't quite figure out what to use in the top clip (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

Erik Brok used this piece to make an 'Ice Princess' with the female ponytail hair, which you can see on the 'Ice Castle' page under 'Buildings' in the 'Models' section of his site: (URL) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)

|

I know there was a discussion, or at least I mentioned, before that I thought the new brwon star wars hoods would make good monks. Last night I decided to try it. I used the young obi wan figure from the Gungan Sub set and put a brown torso on it. (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.castle)
