Howto article by Jim Darlack - centaurs

[Bruce N H]

Hey all,

Remember Jim Darlack's CCC honorable mention custom centaur Abusson, you may have wondered how it was made. Well, he's written up a How-to article on this and other custom centaur techniques. I have to apologize to Jim - it was actually written up a while ago and I forgot to post the link.

Great article, although I don't plan on splitting open a house soon.

Nice tutorial! Maybe someday I'll have enough horses to do this. I need cavalry though.

[Albatross_Viking]

Yes, thats a really nice tutorial!

I don't plan on splitting open a house soon.

I really hope so. But if you should decide to split one open, please dont take the one i live in .

I build centaurs like this - http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/579956/brick-battles. It give me the opportunity to have centaurs without losing any of my horses.

On topic: this article is great, I like how he's compiled a list of other techniques, not just his own.

I really like the look of these in the tutorial. This would be my alternative idea, though, based on the "old-school" brick horses from the yellow castle. Disadvatage: blocky looking. Advantage: A six-year old kid could build them without tearing up his other toys.

I did this once, and instead of taking the horse apart, I just cut off the head, sanded it down, and glued some studs on the top. It worked okay, but I haven't taken any pics yet.

If you would prefer not to mutilate your horses, but want something more than a brickbuilt centaur, check this out.

Great article! But wow! That BrickForge prototype looks awful promising. I'll have to get a good amount of those one they're out!

That centaur body looks awesome, as do the other items in the picture. Brickforge keeps making interesting parts, apart from the usual weaponry!
