2000AD Lego builds

Anatomy of a Fatty is getting filed for future reference. But why don't you warn us that placing a flat piece on any other brick is an irriversable process?!

you need the Lego brick separator!

LIES! It's a conspiracy to get me to spend more money! ILLUMINATI!

Oh how we laughed when that thing first spilled randomly out of a box.  Now the focus of any communal building session is shattered by repeated cries of 'where's the doo-dad?'.

You can build with them too.

I should probably get a couple of those Lego separator doodads for the boys; they do look pretty handy.

Feliks (5) made a great Shakara this morning:




Shakara of the Snazzy Trousers.  Oskar (three and a half) would have made this perfectly colour-coordinated one way or another (as would I) but Feliks doesn't seem bothered about that kind of stuff.

Not even the most FLINT hearted person could dislike this one!

[Bat King]

Lego ought to give you some separators just cos of this zarjaz thread!

Very droll

Managed to get Ro-Jaws finished off today; as usual there are some aspects of this I like (the wheels, mainly) and others that I feel that I can definitely improve on in future (the head is something of a bugbear).  Still, he's got poo in his teeth, poo on his shovel and poo in his chest cupboard thing, and Feliks suggested the use of the '50' sign in lieu of a tax disc.  Good call, youngster!  If I could do this build in green I'd be happier with it than I am.  The basic design works okay, although it's a bit hard to tell from these crappy pics.

[Bat King]

Almost enough poo!

[TordelBack]

Blackhole version.  Nice.

My son has what remains of my childhood Lego... some of it with teeth marks.

The boys got given some of those small-but-great Lego Mixel sets recently.  These come with all manner of useful pieces; hinges, joints, etc.  The best bits are the teeth and the eyes...  (I'll try out some of the other teeth on Ro-Jaws next time we take a crack at him, maybe).

Anyway, as soon as I saw all those eyes, this was screaming out for a quick test-run*.  I'm getting some more of these teeth things so will have a proper stab at this before long.

Now, how do I explain to a three year old and a five year old about Iok Sotot, eater of souls? 




* There's plenty of refinement to be done, but for a very quick (15min) and dirty trial, it's promising. I need to find some yellow trousers for Phase IV Zenith, though (and I can cut out a better sticker).

That, Ming, is stone cold genius. Do The Mess next.

What, some eyes in a jar?  Sold!

I may also do Louis from Harlem Heroes - post accident, of course.

Close the thread. That is the pinicle of genius. Just, wow.
