Human Shield

Post by eNiGMa »

I'm making quite a name for myself with these bizarre creations.... :P

According to jobpredictor.com, my ideal career is "human shield." I must admit, it's a good opportunity to use my new Dino Attack face! So let me know what you think.... :)

LOL

Thats really funny. I'm not sure how you did it, but I like it - must be one strong knight, eh?

I'll think I'll try that website out.

That's hilarious! I assume you used one of these:

EDIT: This even got my wife laughing. Really, really funny. :D

LOL! Another way to kill peasants! In medieval times this was a good combat defence! :P

As long as they hold still that is... (and take the hit! ;-))

Hmm... how did you do it? Did you use the piece that Dunechaser suggested? I would love to see some close-ups of how it is connected - creative building like this doesn't always come easy to me.

EDIT>>> This just in!

Very clever 8) . I like that face...Ayden tried to communicate the fact it was from Dino Attack and would make a good barbarian. I can agree to that, I might just have to make a sticker of it.

And I'm supposed to be a chef :) .

What piece connected the horseman's hand to the back thingy on the human shield?
This somehow reminds me of Empire soldiers in warhammer...

I'm supposed to be a Dodgem driver... LOL! :D
So Erik, I guess you're going to be a chef instead of a chancellor! :lol:

Pretty clever. What is on his back that makes the knight able to hold him?

Good luck with your career.

Hey, that's pretty cool! I going to use the idea in my wargames.

Unfortunately, in real life, we wouldn't be able to hold him horizontally like that.

On a side note, jobpredictor said I should be a pole dancer (I'm a guy) when I entered my full name. I entered my first and last name and it told me I should be a p**n director! ROFL!

Thanks everyone for your replies! I used this piece connected to this piece to get the "handle" on the fig.

And in case anyone is interested, other forms of my name got "Trained Assassin" and "Dentist." :lol:
