2000AD Lego builds

At some point we'll escape the gravitational pull of Pat Mills characters, but probably not immediately...

Well you haven't done Dr Feeley Good yet, for one thing... 

I've been pondering that very subject today... I'll have a think and see what I can come up with.  Hammerstein's another obvious gap in the roster but to do him justice would be tricky, given the fairly specific elements of his rather complex design.  In the coming years, with increasing amounts of Lego, we'll be able to tackle more characters and scenes, I hope.

I got some caterpillar tracks in the post this week.  First up, some Killdozer action.  It's a bit ropey as I had to just use the few bits and pieces that weren't already occupied by the boys but I'll try and do a complete Landraider / Killdozer combo at some point.





If I had a million grey blocks I'd love to do the Mutie Mountains as well...

There's nowt ropey about that it's class!

[ming]

Thanks Colin - it was thrown together very quickly though!  Still, the boys have been told the tale of strict-but-fair Judge Dredd (serious faces) and Spikes Harvey Rotten (great name = hilarity!) taking medicine across a dangerous desert to help people.  The take home message was, however, that the 2 T (fru) T virus makes people run around shouting Tooty Fruity!  TOOTY FRUITY!!  They've been laughing their heads off at that ever since.

My work is done...

I'm currently reading the Cursed Earth to my 7 and 4 year old brothers. Everytime they hear 2T(fru)T they giggle uncontrollably.

great work, more please

The boys were playing as Mek-Quake and Ro-Jaws on their way up to bed last night so I made a Mek-Quake v2.0 for them while they were asleep...

Mek-Quake vs. BIG JOBS!




I'm pretty happy with this one; much closer to the original O'Neill Bulldozer version that I love, although it lacks the fins, unfortunately.  The claws are also a bit iffy but there'll probably another version at some point when we have more bits and pieces to work with.

Cool Mek Quake! I quite like the claws me.

Aw... Cheers, Green Bonce! 

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Recognition! Marvellous!

[Colin YNWA]

It all looked bloomin' marvelous too. Great stuff.

[ming]

Thanks, folks - we'll keep these coming...

Humm de humm!

Best one yet.  The cross-bar navel is the piece-de-resistance-is-futile.  Your are as a god to me, Sir.  (You could get a marker to a lime green 2x4 tile and add "Doctor knows best, Casey..." to the chest screen).

The not-red cross was entirely down to the missus so I can take no credit for that particular detail!  I'd made a red cross using five 1x1 red tiles but it was too clunky so I dropped it, then I was informed by the good lady that "if you're going to do it, do it right and she told me to add that particular brick.  She's a stickler.

Number One Son immediately made some stinky medicine (a cup with flames coming out of it) reflecting the panel he remembered with the Doc pouring foul medicine onto a spoon...

The chest screen idea is a nice one, TB.  Unfortunately we're limited by the bricks in the house so that'll be something to revisit down the line when we accumulate stupid volumes of this stuff.  Anyway, onwards and upwards!
