AoNZ Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Who loves the name? Alright I am not usually one to try a contest like this against the likes of some very good customizers out there but I thought I would give it a go. Sculpey isn't something that I like because I like my customs to be clean and neat so I've avoided the use of paint and sculpey instead using Blue-tack but I think I've done alright without it. So this is my entry for Category 2 and I do hope you guys like it. Approximate Cost: $8.00 (Namely for the parts, BF and Blue-tack) Inspiration: Star Wars, as such I'm a big fan of it when I thought alien I though Star Wars. When I thought Star Wars alien I thought Jar Jar Binks . Then I thought well the Gungans were pretty useless at defending themselves so I thought they needed to be more like the Gammorean Guards so the result sort of looks like Boss Nass in my opinion. Well looks like I'm the first in this category. I decided to go early so I could get some feedback so would love to hear from you guys. AoNZ Quote
Vindicare Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Nice fig. That helmet is especially awesome! Nice work Quote
Legostein Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Hello! A really dangerous looking alien minifigure. It would also perfectly fit as a bad guy for the Space Police III series. Cheers, ~ Christopher Quote
Praiter Yed Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) I like this but I'm struggling to figure out what parts you've used. Did you cut some pieces down then blu-tack them together? Edited October 23, 2011 by Praiter Yed Quote
AoNZ Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 Hey guys thanks for sharing your thoughts I really appreciate it. Praiter Yed: Yeah sorry I noticed that I wasn't very informative but I will amend that later. With the weapon it's just the Spartan's spear with the axe pieces from the Evil Dwarf because I wanted to make it interesting without any modifications. The helmet is made of a SPIII villains helmet (Not sure who he's called) with blu-tack carefully attaching BrickForge Arched Pauldrons to the sides so nothing is cut down or anything just the pauldrons are attached cleverly to create an appealing bulky helmet. As you can see in the back view they don't quite run smoothly against the helmet as they're not normally used to attach to the helmet. I used blu-tack because I was afraid of messing up if I tried to glue and I didn't really want to ruin the helmet as it is one of my favourites. The armour is made by BrickForge and is the Shock Trooper Armour but I just wish it was in Dark Bluish Gray so that it matched the colour scheme with the helmet. All in all I wanted to avoid modifications etc. and still come up with a pleasing figure which was quite a challenge but I feel he looks pretty menacing for an alien with a great name to suit . Thanks Praiter Yed for the question and Legostein and Legocrazy81 for the feedback. If you guys have anymore questions or even feedback just fire away because I'm also keen to hear more from the community Thanks. AoNZ Quote
