Hi, Anyone ever try to make one of these - Centaur, Stire, Minotaur, Sphinx, or other half-man, half-creature type of thing? Other than Tim Coats, I haven't seen any of these mythical creatures. My first thought, after "Hmm, Centaur..." was, 'Oh, no (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I have already made a centaur (based on the classic castle horse) and sent a picture to Pawel. Hopefully he will have it online soon. I also sent an insect man and a arachnis (drider) which looks very cool. I am still thinking about some other (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Off the top of my head (for a centaur), a Yellow-Castle-era horse with a minifig head and chest. He should probably also have a bow and quiver. Maybe put the quiver on his back so you can put Qui-Gon Jinn's hair on his head for a mane. For a (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) You could build a horse as in the Yellow Castle set, and replace the head with a minifig torso. --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com ---...---oooo-----(_...o---...--- WWW: (URL) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) For a minotaur, I'd use a 1x2 medium slope on the minifig body, with a clip up top holding the horns. You might even go to a 1x3 slope for the head. J (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

At the inaugural DixieLUG meeting, I had a Satyr, using Suzanne's basic design, but with a JarJar torso with yellow arms, and a Fright Knight soldier's head (the same one that Pawel uses for Verneer, IIRC), a 1x1 tile w/ clip, and a cattlehorn. I (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)

Last night I made a couple of animals inspired by Franklin Cain's animal designs. Using his pig, I made a cool wild boar and using the chicken and goose as models I created a turkey. I also made a big black walrus (though is looks a little more like (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
