Another awesome Custom from Vieral

A female Rodian custom here from Vieral, his sculpting skills are first class and this is spot on, capturing more than the official rodian head mold I think. Here is an alternate view...

Catching up... again, work is crazzzy!

Halo Reach Emile by ~Amadgunslinger~  I'm liking the paint job here...

Quite like this new accessory found in the new Ninjago theme... nifty sword holder, photographed here by legojoker111customs

Some nice new items here from minifigcat - I like the gun and the helmet here...

Nice combo of Lego and Character building... Digger Digger Dogstar beat me to the punch! But, looks good, no?

Catching up with interesting figures

Some nice lighting here on this figure by ~Cmorganweck~

Praiter Yed made me lol with this minifigure... apologies if it causes offense but I've seen loads of pregnant women looking like this!

Dr. Alan Grant by ~Coruscantdefender~  reminding me how much I loved that movie (o:

Tim by Tom Leech - I haven't a clue who this is but it's nice to see people having a go at making a minifig based on a cartoon and trying to capture that vibe.

If you're into custom minifigs you have probably heard of CAB (selling really neat custom printed Lego minifigs on ebay). This awesome Han Solo minifig has been designed by CAB and Tiler. I particularly like the custom hair going on here.

Burakki's Brick Third Custom Minifig Design Contest

I am happy to announce the next minifig design contest to be hosted by myself will be opening shortly.

I have also lined up another sponsor, Brick Command and they are contributing some of their custom minifig accessories to be given away as prizes.

You've gotta love Morgan's combination of Lego, non-Lego and presentation techniques.

I love to see people having a try at sculpting things for Lego and, although it looks a little rough, thumbs up for the ambitious attempt. If you two could flickr mail me with your details I will get your prizes out to you asap - Morgan, you get to choose which of the two sets you'd like.

Ooh, I just noticed this...

Brickforge is now selling it's new bottle/laser beam/spillage/glass pieces in various trans colours... look!

I'm loving the printed flasks!

My halloween contest over on Flickr has now closed... thank you so much to everyone who entered! I will get the two winners announced sometime this week, possibley nearer to the weekend. November's Minifig Design Contest theme will also be announced by the weekend and I am pleased to announce that I now have 2 sponsors (o:

Firestar toys will be offering the winner of the next monthly contest 15% discount on an order at their store. They stock a wide range of official and custom lego parts and accessories. Pop over to their site and check out their stock - it's particularly good for people in the UK, which is where they are based.

I am pleased to announce that the good people of Brick Command have offered some of their custom wands, wing swords and throwing stars to the winner of the next contest and have offered to support future contests too! Check out their store to see what their accessories look like, I have bought from them before and would again.
