Thanks, guys !

And I keep on adding more characters; today brings these two aquatic knigts that watch over a precious crystal:

And yes, those pikes do exist in trans-clear.

Nice! I like the trans stand very much. The figs themselves are nice for more of a fantasy type deal. What set does that face on the left come in? It looks like a Viktor Krum head, but not fleshie... (I would look it up, but there are a LOT of heads to wade through!)

Are you sure? It sure looks yellow to me, the hands look yellow, so it would make sence to have a yellow head with them, also the other head looks yellow too.

However it might just be the lighting. They just looks so...yellow to me.

You should make an animals folder. Heh.
Hmm, may be I will, thanks !

The next character, a butcher, shows where the life of a goose ends; at the king's plate that is !
Some may think that this scene is cruel, but hey, that's how it goes...

I'm almost one hundred percent sure. Compared with the other pics in the gallery, which all have a fairly consistent color tone, these are definitely fleshie. Also, I forgot that most Windows computers have darker, slightly greener moniters than Macs, so that might be contributing to your confusion (I hope that didn't sound rude).

The hands and the left head are yellow. The right head looks yellow, too. I can't discover what head it is, but it looks very yellow to me...

Ok, let me clearify this mistery..

:
Both the heads and hands are flesh; actually, this is the first time that I'm using this color on a character.
I think the lightning conditions made it look somewhat yellowish.

How did you get a gold chrome crystal for the soldiers to guard. I checked on bricklink and it shouldn't exsist.

Yeah, and where'd you get those clear spears for that matter?

Ah, thanks very much! Well, for fleshies and jellies they look great!!!

Nice job once again. (hmm, I was kinda hoping for that Krum head in yellow too...)

marakoeschtra, i think you are one of the best (if not the best) MOC builders out there, and also you minifigs are just ultra amazing! Your creativity blows me away, everytime! i admire your work!

Keep going!

Based on the reflections and shadows, those may be trans light blue spears from set 8511-1 Frost (Technic). It happened to come with 2 according to Peeron.

They may just look more trans clear because of the amount of blue around them, but to me they don't look quite as clear as the pedestal.

That's my guess.

Awesome! These are absolutely beautiful... I really like the way you build, the animals are fantastic! Wonderful stuff! I wish I could build stuff like that, though.

Very cool, I especially like the Treasure carriers and gaurdsmen.
So much Lego gold!

Very cool!

By the way, where did you get that transparent shield for the Ice Warrior?

Anyway, thats some awesome stuff you've got there, post more soon!

You can find them on BrickLink, but they are fairly expensive. They cam (x2) in set #452.

The figs are great, marakoeschtra! I love them all and am looking forward to the next update.
