These were a lot of fun to make.  Here's the secret:  The backs of the DUPLO
dinos, it turns out, are regular DUPLO studs which perfectly accommodate 2x4
and 2x6 LEGO SYSTEM bricks.  But not only that, they also accommodate the new
6x6x2 quad-inverse-slope SYSTEM bricks that come in the LEGO Star Wars sets!
And these enable the very quick conversion of a DUPLO dino into a SYSTEM dino!

The minifigs are Blacktron I figs with Ninja heads and various other Castle
helmets.  The rest of the parts come purely from LEGO Star Wars sets (one copy
of each 1999 & 2000 set, plus 5 additional parts that needed to be nabbed from
second copies of Naboo Swamp and Naboo Fighter.)

...I'm sorry... I just burst out laughing when I saw the pics (even with the warning! :-)
Its great! but those DUPLO dinos just look too cute, specially with all that dangerous
military hardware on their back! :-)

..."Awwww, what a cute little dino" (*BLAM* *BLAM*:)

...Great cross over idea :-)


...you can go back to ignoring me now...
