Haven’t seen many posts on the 3723 Minifig sculpture lately. I just got
one last week from S@H (it was backordered for awhile). Definitely a return
to the LEGO ‘basics’. I like it so much I’m considering giving up my
Technic stuff (I can’t believe I said that).
The 3723 Minifig Sculpture is a great set, fun to build and an excellent
source of basic parts for more creative sculptures. Can't wait to get my
3450 Statue of Liberty...
Some have suggested using the 3033 basic tubs to build a replica of this
set, but one would need a lot more plates than I originally thought. For
example, the green hat is made entirely of plates, and the arms and hands
contain mostly plates. The legs and torso are mostly bricks. But enough
bricks from the tubs would easily substitute for the numerous large bricks
in this set (esp. 2x6s, 2x8s and 2x10s). Other than this, there are a few
Technic pieces to attach the arms and hands. With a few 3033 tubs you could
easily enlarge the minifig, create some tools etc. for it to hold, or make
different patterns on the torso. Even make a cape, different hat, etc.
Has anyone done anything creative with their minifig sculptures? I would
love to see pictures, hear ideas, etc.
Later, Chris.

I started with the head and ran out of yellow 1xN plates - so I but a clear yellow dome on top. Then I thought, I'll put a couple of mini-figs (...) (24 years ago, 20-Nov-00, to lugnet.reviews)
