The Yellowship of the Ring
The Yellowship of the Ring
I don't know if you would strictly call this a MOC. But it's my current project.
Basically I wasn't happy with the fleshie faces on the Lord Of the Rings figures. They didn't fit in with any of my castle sets. So I have been recreating the characters in their closest approximate yellow skinned counterparts.
Its a work in progress as I've just got some Hobbit sets and they are getting a yellow makeover aswell.
But heres the figures so far.. I'm no photographer.

My Elf army including some CM figures. I tried to get the yellow faces to have the same expressions as their fleshie faces. And a bit of yellow Sharpie has improved them lol

The first of the Hobbit dwarf conversions.
I prefer them as Yellows
I'm stuck as to what head to use for Dwalin. He's the bald dwarf from the hobbit with battle scars and tattoos on his head. Anyone got a suggestion as to which yellow head would suit him??

Excellent transformations. You've done well.

Re: The Yellowship of the Ring
Great changes! Excuse my asking but what head did you use for Boromir? It looks familiar but I just can't wrap my mind around what set or Minifigure Pack it came in.

Boromirs face is from the Collectible minifigure Forestman.
I had to look up that answer on Bricklink.. I had no idea where where I got that head from lol
Sometime you just find a head in your collection that is a great fit.

Re: The Yellowship of the Ring
Excellent job, man! I too prefer to be a yellow purist. I was worried about the torsos with flesh necks exposed at the collar, but they seem to work well for what you've done.
Re: The Yellowship of the Ring
Okay, thank you. I was pretty sure that's where it came from but decided to check before I made myself look like a fool.dyntar wrote:Boromirs face is from the Collectible minifigure Forestman.

Re: The Yellowship of the Ring
I love what you did for them. They look even better!
May yellow be forever remembered as the cool original hue!
