CCVII Entry - Urkgrim Def Klawz

Post by DarkTemplar »

Hey everyone,
I just finished my entry for the Custom Minifig Category, and Orc/Troll Leader. I've always had mixed emotions of the troll king so I thought I'd make my own!

Here's the Flickr link as Brickshelf appears to be down:

The minifig uses custom claw gauntlets which are made utilizing wrenches. A Technic gear was split and used as shoulder pads and fixed on using molding putty. The Horns are placed on the helm in the same way. Finally the Torso design is based on those of Joey Finnell on the classic castle customization page. The torso was printed on label paper, taped, and then coated with nail polish.

Wow, great work! The claw idea is very good. :)

Thanks the comments.
The claw idea I had been working on for a while until I found some wrenches while looking for hammers and noticed they were rather pointy at the end.
As for the Agents helmet I had no idea that's what it was from until about 2 days ago to see if it was an official Lego part. I had accidentally came across it on Brick link, and I instantly registered it as something resembling an orc helmet in Warhammer.

Well then, nice results from an accident! It looks quite fitting with the claws.
