I’m not 100% sure (correct me if I’m wrong — it has happened once or twice), but I think Tim Zarki may have actually started this weird but undeniably cool trend with “Captain Cake and Trusty Navigator” (above). The trusty navigator is wearing the helmet.
UPDATE: Tim provides A Brief History of Frogspace on There’s a Moose in My Salad.
Here’s Captain Cake on his command deck:
Allow me to tell you the story of Frogspace….
Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far aw… wait.
Wrong story.
I sent spook a package of lego for his help with Next-gen, included was a dk bley frog that he instantly took a liking to, and named it “cake.” He made the little scene with Trusty Navigator, and Frogspace was born.
That’s… pretty much it.
wow that frog looks like it could kick some serious butt.
Ha! I love it. :)
Are some of those blue panels held in by nothing more than friction? @_@
Why yes, indeed they are!
Would it be a ripoff to create lemurspace using Momo from the Avatar sets?
