The Rescue of Miss Take
I’d suggest to good Mr. Take that in the future, he should keep a better eye on his progeny and their tendencies to participate in herb-gathering and reciting Shakespeare while cooking over a large cauldron. It scares the locals.
Jalkow‘s beautiful little scene has a lot of great things to it — the base, the rubble on the stairs, the moon… I can’t pick out just one because frankly, all of it is pretty lovely.
It’s a Party
Inspired by classic Dungeons and Dragons archetypes, Guy Himber’s (aka V&A Steamworks) roving party of adventurers look like they will make quick work of any trouble they encounter. Built in Guy’s unique “Shakespeare” scale, the figures allow for plenty of detail and pose-ability. Thus far, the characters include a stalwart and stocky Dwarven King, a charismatic golden plate-mailed Paladin, and a dexterous dragon-helmeted Archer, with Guy promising more to come, including a Lich King.
Le-Go Yo-Yo
Lino Martins (Lino M) claims this Yo-Yo is 100% LEGO and who are we to argue? I’m also wondering if this model doesn’t have the fewest pieces of any we’ve blogged here.
And to let you all in on a personal shame: if you give me a yo-yo I will be ‘that annoying yo-yo guy’ until it breaks. Not the one who can do tricks, the one who just makes it go up and down constantly. I get so mesmerised.
Time to spawn larva
Occasionally a builder contacts me to ask for advice on a work-in-progress model. A friend from Xbox LIVE, Evan (Zemata) asked me for tips on his WIP insectoid queen. After a few exchanges, I’m pleased to see the final result turn out so well.
