Thanks for posting your MOC. I don't think all the notes about "doing it before" were meant as criticisms, so don't get too hung up about that. I'd probably use the aforementioned L-bracket to balance out the fig rather than the cloak (and might even cut the bracket so nothing sticks out, but that's me).

What if you took one of Little Armory's scabbards and attached it to the bracket? That would give you a sword and a crossbow quiver.TwoTonic Knight wrote:Thanks for posting your MOC.

Hey don't feel bad mate. I never knew of this before. I had probably seen it before, but never registered how it was done. Thanks for showing. Its always great to see how bricks can be built differently.boses wrote:I don't understand the hostility over a simple Lego quiver...
I only posted the part because someone in another thread suggested the
need for a Lego crossbow quiver, and I wanted share my technique...
I had no idea the part had been published elsewhere, and though it now
seems as if it had, I was unaware of it.I was simply trying to help my
fellow builders out...I post for one reason: to share ideas and techniques in
order to promote and therefore expand the building and creativity of
myself and my fellow builders...
play well

I build, therefore I am.

Boses and I are purists, so no Little Armory for us! (With no offence intended to the fantastic work of modders here and elsewhere.)Recluce wrote:What if you took one of Little Armory's scabbards and attached it to the bracket? That would give you a sword and a crossbow quiver.
Boses, as others have said, this is something others have done before (myself included, about twenty years ago), but that doesn't stop it being a good idea, and one that bears repeating now and then. You've simply demonstrated that great minds think alike! Obviously, your intent was never to take credit for someone else's work.
Keep up the enthusiasm, and keep up the good work!

Heck, I remember when I discovered I could stick a plain brick on a minifig torso way back when. I was so thrilled. Then I found the online LEGO community and realised a lot of other people had discovered it as well.

Yes, the quiver on the side isn't a new idea (though it's cool that you discovered it by yourself, I saw someone else do it and then used it myself), but I've never seen the plastic cape used to counter-balance it before. I don't liike the gap left between my forestman's left torso and hip, so I'll definitely use your idea.

Good job Boses!
