LEGO Bounty hunters

I was really happy with how the LEGO band came out, so I decided to sculpt the remaining Bounty Hunters LEGO has not yet made! Again the challenge was trying to replicate the LEGO style so that they all fit in!

I also started a Flicker page because it seems that is where LEGO fans post their work. I have more pictures there.


More Custom LEGO minfigs - Max Rebo Band!

I got my LEGO Jabba's Place built and so I needed his band. However, LEGO only makes one of the band members, Max Reebo. So I decided to sculpt my own. The tricky part was trying to copy the LEGO style. I think they fit in well!

1st LEGO Custom MiniFigs - Kenner Droids

I always wanted a LEGO R2-D2 & C-3PO  MiniFig that were Chrome, like the vintage Kenner figures. It took me forever to make this one happen!



I tested over 20 different combinations of water slide paper and sealant over a year until I finally found a combination that worked. I worked on it off and on for over a year buying and testing all kinds brands.

Then recently I found a brick store that sells Chrome LEGO parts. This is what finally got the project in motion. Now I re-created the current C-3PO chest artwork to make the water slide decal. They actually turned out a lot better than I thought!
