CCCVII entry: Dragonborn Fighter

Post by Lord Mikal »

Many of you may recognize the inspiration for this custom, and for those of you who don't: consider yourselves lucky.

Deeplinks work immediately.

The head is Sculpey, the breastplate is painted, the legs are megablok (from the Dragons series), the hammer head is a cut-up megablok (I didn't think anyone would object), and the feet are cut-up megabloks with epoxy-putty toes.

Very nice! I really like the feet and hands as well as the head, which is really well done. Great work! :)

This IS very nice. Wonderful painting and the head of the lion couldn't get much better. Can the feet stick to studs? L*OOHSHINY*aird

The toes are attached to 1x1 plates, so he is attached to a stud. I was going to try making it so he could stand on a baseplate, but there just isn't enough space between studs for the toes to avoid colliding with the adjacent stud.

(by the way, he's a Dragonborn, from D&D 4E)

Could you make the toes on the top of the foot so they rest on top of the plate stud? There is a bit of a spacial gap between the height of the stud and the height of the top of the foot? Just an idea.

Nice...but Mega****! Seriously, wonderful custom. One of the best I've seen. :D

Oh wow, nice sculpting work on that head, I seriously thought that was some other brand of high quality blocks or something. Nice paint job too, do you have a Bricklink store for customs? I think you could do seriously well in that line.

Very Nice I like the concept of the Half Dragon but if you can get a Brickarms Claymore I think that that would be more siutible

Any who great fig
