Custom Minifigure of the Week – The Avengers

Congratulations to C. Morgenweck for becoming our newest forum moderator!  And C. Morgenweck did a great job this week making the stars of The Avengers look even cooler.  The R.T. Armor definitely makes Iron Man look more realistic than the printed torso from LEGO, and the boot wings add a much needed touch to Thor’s helmet.

And if you haven’t seen The Avengers movie yet, you should definitely check it out.  Thrash and I saw it at the beginning of the month and we both loved it.  It has a great story line, tons of action, and it was really funny too!

MOC of the Week – The Siege of Campus Serenus

Mark of Falworth created a fantastic MOC entitled The Siege of Campus Serenus.   There is everything imaginable in this creation…all compact with so much detail!

From the fight on the bridge to the men tunneling underground, Mark of Falworth really captured the essence of a battle scene.  I especially love the flaming spears and the crazy swamp area.

BrickMagic 2012: Convention Wrap-Up

Man, what a weekend.  We started driving around noon on Thursday and successfully avoided traffic in DC and Richmond, but it was still a long 6.5 hour drive.  Reading a few chapters of Game of Thrones made the drive seem a little shorter, but it was still pretty long.  We had originally planned to head over to the convention and get set up Thursday night, but as it turns out, all we had energy for was a wonderful feast at the local Golden Corral.

The next morning we got up bright and early and headed over to the convention center to get our booth set up.  After an hour or so of work, here was the result:

Once we were all set-up I got to meet a lot of great new people, including other vendors and the registered attendees.  Everyone is so nice at these conventions…if you have a chance to go to BrickMagic next year (or any other convention), I highly recommend going.

The public days were a lot of fun too.  It wasn’t quite as crowded as Brickfair AL was, so we had more of a chance to talk to everyone that stopped by the booth.

For more pictures, check out our flickr page.  Thanks again to everyone who stopped by the booth!  Hopefully we will see you all a year from now at BrickMagic 2013!

Custom Minifigure of the Week – Sc3PTiicPr3Dz’s First MOC

Sc3PTiicPr3Dz is new to Flickr, and this is his very first MOC!  We wanted to give a shout out to him and let him know how great we think his custom minifig is!  The paint job is definitely fantastic, especially for a first MOC, and the color combos are great…the RT Armor and LEGO helmet blend perfectly!

We can’t wait to see what he makes next!

Great LEGO Combos

Brother Steven created the fantastic little MOC “Sir Angus Feeds the Poor”.  What really caught my eye in this MOC was the head he used.  It goes perfectly with the Bladed Helm…and makes Angus look very menacing!  And the mountain looming in the distance is very well done too!

MOC of the Week – The Queens Hammer

Thinking of using some custom LEGO pieces in truly unique ways?  Well, you’ll definitely want to check out “The Queens Hammer” by Hammerstein NWC.  I know that I have never seen such creative usage of Bladed Helms and Rhino Helmets!  Such an awesome MOC!
