I'm currently tweaking it in places and adding junk to make it look lived in. I've got a mummy's sarcophagus, a bunch of crates, a few barrels, and a new piece of wall art for the place. Oh, I almost forgot: the lost Ark is hidden away in there somewhere. (Just don't open it - you have been warned! ) With the sign removed to order later, and the crane being already built, I had 1,565 parts to find originally, but an now down to 1,091 left to find or order. For those that want to see what the digital WIP looks like as of a few days ago, here you go. The model should be finished in October or November.
September 8, 2024Sep 8 Has anybody thought about using this pretty new Speed Champions base for building some Adventurers' cars (part no. 3385): Like the old classic cockpit piece it has 5W inside (two minifgs side by side), but is 6w outside. I'm aware that this modern base is slightliy wider than the old piece (because of the SNOT studs on the sides) but I think I'll buy one on BL and give it a try.

That's a absolutely brilliant idea - I wonder why nobody had thought of that before! Be sure to keep us updated @The Reader! If you need ideas / inspiration, it might look good in an updated version of set 7682 - Shanghai Chase: If you do do this, be sure to make instructions or something - I know quite a few people (myself included) who would KILL for a update to this set!

September 8, 2024Sep 8 Some of the D&D CMFs have some good outfits for adventurers such as the Ranger, Tasha, and the Druid. Also, some of the heads would make great treasures or temple decorations such as the golden dragon head, the trans. red skull, or the Lady of Pain’s mask!

If @The Reader uses the mask for his purple-skinned tribe, I don't think they're would be a problem. Those figs don't seem to be based on real humans anyway...

September 10, 2024Sep 10 @Oky @Murdoch17 I was thinking about something like this - just the priest, not that certain sacrifice scene (and no insult meant to any real people or tribes): https://www.instagram.com/p/C_sbgdbIFAb/?hl=de https://www.instagram.com/p/C_dC5ESorwT/?hl=de (by IG user @lego_pirates_world)

If I was to do it myself I would include some similar colours on the rest of the figure though to make it fit a little better, like the hands or waist. Pearl gold but not sure what the other is... sand green? Edited September 10, 2024Sep 10 by Autumn

September 11, 2024Sep 11 Didn't think about it yet, but regonized it today: The stands of the D&D CMF minifigs are useful, too:
September 11, 2024Sep 11 I think some of accessories from D&D CMF are great for adventuers and museum exhibit Mocs! Just like Ninjago’s golden dragon statue/idol for temple or museum.
September 12, 2024Sep 12 40746 Santa’s Delivery Truck will make for a nice Adventurers vehicle once you mod it to be a bit less colorful. On 9/10/2024 at 3:06 PM, Autumn said: sand green? Yes, I have the figs and can confirm it’s sand green. 6 hours ago, The Reader said: Didn't think about it yet, but regonized it today: The stands of the D&D CMF minifigs are useful, too: True, although the black center stripe limits its usefulness somewhat. Maybe if you stack them with an offset, they’ll make for some nice rocky steps.

October 8, 2024Oct 8 Three Adventurers style MOCs from BDP Series 6: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-6/1878/Egyptian-Adventures https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-6/2034/Jungle-Ruins https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-6/2166/Expedition-Aztec They don't trigger me though the temple in "Expedition Aztec" is not bad.
November 12, 2024Nov 12 From the January 2025 City wave, set 60447 Off Road 4x4 Mountain Truck (221 pcs., 19,99 €) looks cool. Not sure about the map the minifig hold in her/his hands - does it fit to the four maps of the summer 2024 jungle explorer sets?

One of the soap box cars has a minifigure that could potentially fit in well as a Harry Cane pilot too.

November 20, 2024Nov 20 The head of the CMF S27 Steampunk Inventor might be useful for a British colonel or a similar archetype.
December 3, 2024Dec 3 The new Pippin Reed hat from the Orient Express is now in the new modular building. Hopefully it will find its way to PaB now. The guy second from right with the scissors might be used as a young Dr. Lightning: Edited December 4, 2024Dec 4 by The Reader
January 9Jan 9 Author Just a little detail, but the pressure dial in the Steampunk Inventor's gear would look great on the instrument panel/dashboard of an adventure vehicle and the legs would not look out of place in a custom adventurer figure. It also depends on the flavour of adventure you like, but the brown "paper hat" would look perfect for characters with a military background. (Saw it in a post about online PaB/BaM parts).
