2000AD Lego builds

[Dash Decent]

This book, Beautiful Lego, has a home-made Mongrol on page 61.

You can't see it in the preview pages but it's still worth browsing.

Any chance of a pic?

I'll see what I can do.

It's not as good as the one on this thread, but some of the other stuff in the book is stunning.

Thanks, DD!   

I had a look at the previews for the book; as you say, some stunning stuff there.  I can only dream of having bucketloads of bricks (and enough hours in the day to use them).  Still, it's fun to see what we can do with what we have (and the boys were busy drawing Mongrol and Doctor Feeley Good this morning, so this stuff definitely rubs off on them).

Hi Ming, it turns out the builder has his picture on flickr, and some other 2000AD builds as well, done as "Cubedudes".  Check these out!

I like those, I like those a lot!

The fact that they've taken the basic design elements and put their own spin on same, is an absolutely apt treatment of characters from The House of Tharg.

Those are great!  I've seen the Mongrol one before, but not the rest.  I think the Gronk is my favourite, but they're all really lovely.

Post fifth birthday party wind-down... Shonky-but-fun Ro-Busters Midpoint build.  If we had a bazillion blocks of the same colour I could possibly have done this justice, but them's the breaks.






Not sure what to go for next but I'll have a think.  I just had one idea but I'll have to figure out whether or not it's feasible given the bricks to hand.

Mean, Mongrol and The Gronk in particular are really great.

Not what I'd planned to do next, but this was on the cards anyway so after some encouragement from the boys I thought I'd give it a shot.  Again, a bit shonky but the best I could come up with without dismantling various other things.  If I had bucketloads of Lego I'd maybe have done justice to what was in my head; consider this as Fleshdozer v1.0.

Brachiosaurus burgers / Triceratops Tikka Masala, anyone?

Making Stegosaurus sausages is a dangerous business...

So much better than Lego's own dinosaur range that it's frightening.  You are an international treasure, Ming.

That stomps simply being good so far into the ground its like good has been tramped, alongside wonderful, delightful and a host of other positives has been trampled by a stampeding herd of Argentinasaurus.

Thanks, fellas!  This is all (well, mostly) driven by the demands of the boys; Pterosaurs especially are a big hit right now - we made Tapejara and Rhamphorhynchus at the specific request of Feliks (plus a one-clawed Deinonychus to go with Claw Carver).

The Fleshdozer is wobbly and shonky but without a gazillion blocks it's all I can do - still great fun, though.  My favourite detail is the safety inspector featured in the background of that last pic

Thanks, TB!  I've been pestered  for more dinos this morning, so had to do a quick Stegosaurus as well as the Triceratops.  Together with Deinonychus (x2), T. rex and a couple of Pterosaurs (Tapejara and Ramphorhynchus) built earlier in the week, we've quite the crowd here.  I'm seriously running out of bricks here but suggesting dismantling something is met with stern resistance!

Had a few minutes spare so did what I'd intended to do before I got sidetracked by the Fleshdozer...
