Hi castle fans,
I need to build an ogre for an upcoming scene in a brick animation, and I
was wondering if anyone has done this, or anything like it.
My problem is that I want it to be just about 50% taller than a minifig, or
to scale 9' tall. If I just increase the height of the fig it looks
unnaturally slender, but any other go at it results in waaaay too much height.
Ahh ... the other big catch is that is has to be somewhat poseable, because
I will be animating it.
So, the basic question is: Has anyone created a giant/ogre/troll that is
only or 8 or 9 bricks high? I'm curious, as my other options are to go out
and get a Technic fig (will that be too big?) .. or (shudder) ... CLAY.
Jason

| Have you considered another toy-line (I know that this sounds like blasphemy), since it is an animation, then maybe another action figure (I don't have any in mind) might be a reasonable substitute. Just a thought George Jason (...) (23 years ago, 20-Apr-01, to lugnet.castle)
