Kit Fisto Custom

Check out this amazing representation of Jedi Master Kit Fisto by Vieral. I've never been a huge fan of the Lego version of Kit Fisto... something about the eyes I think. This version, with a head sculpted in epoxy putty, is a much better likeness. Just the fact that that head has been hand sculpted and painted is amazing. I know how hard it can be to achieve a sculpt when you're working in minifig scale, so hats off to Vieral! Have a look at the back...

(also my 100th post..! wow, that was quick)

Gears of War

I don't play it.... it's not my genre of minifig customising... but I can cetainly appriciate the effort  ~McLovin~ has put into making these customs.

Clayton Carmine

Marcus Fenix

Nice custom clones

 

Ryffranck029 has been working hard putting these minifigs together, Jetpacks done!...see below for some wip pictures. I like the decals that have been applied to the jetpacks in particular. I do love Lego star wars but I've never really been that interested in collecting (or creating) all the different clones. Work like this, and by people like minifig maker, does make me think I might have a go one day (o:

He has also put together this pretty nice custom Batman using Cygnet's awesome decals, plus an Arealight cape and Brickforge vambraces.

More M1ngles goodness

Here is another product of M1ngles hard work (and another item to add to my shopping list come payday). This time he has rendered a minifig scale version of Megaman's helmet. I loved Megaman as a kid and will definately be getting myself one of these.

A new customiser

Just came across Praiter Yed over on flickr, he has got some kuhl custom decals on his minifigs... which are star wars themed, which is even better (yey!). I look forward to seeing what he does next (o:

Some more from Fine Clonier

Just spotted these appearing from Fine Clonier... they are Star Wars themed (from the extended universe). As per usual he delivers some very detailed and well applied decals. 

 Antares Draco, Imperial Knight

 Darth Nihl

Cade Skywalker (and while I can get along with the eyes... I'm not sure minifigs should have ears, that's a personal opinion and I'm not critising Fine Clonier's decals at all. If he wants ears thats kuhl, I just wouldn't have them myself)

Curly hair sculpture

I recently spotted some brilliant sculpting work by Tom Leech, which I blogged about. I was very impressed with his curly hair piece in particular because it is something that I have been wanting to do but haven't quite managed anything good enough (in my eyes). So, I asked him how he did it and he, very kindly, gave a little explanation. Well, he has been very busy making some for me for my River Song minifig and I want to share it with all of you guys (because it is excellent).

Here you can see the sculpting process and in the description of this picture on Flickr Tom explains the process in a little more detail.

Here you can see the finished, painted hair... nice (o:  I really like the effect Tom gets on his curly hair... especially as its something we really dont see Lego doing. I just want to say a huge thank you to Tom for taking the time to do this for me - you rock (o: Please check out his flickr photostream, he has some really nice minifigures over there (and he hasn't been into making custom minifigs for all that long! Here's to a bright future!)
