Whether you know how to make them, or you enjoy Brickarms or Brickforge, or you want some piece to be made, talk about it here Grin

I'm a huge fan of both CAC and Arealight!

I made some myself. What do you guys think? It's a straw hat If you cant tell. Smile 2

by **JackDawson1010** 1/28/2011, 3:26 pm

epic hat, Rocky!

by LC98 1/28/2011, 4:43 pm

Thanks!

I'm working on a tactical vest and a Mohawk. I also made some samurai shoulder pads and nunchucks but they didn't turn out too well. The shoulder armor crumbled before it came off the minifig and the nunchucks just don't look right.

Discussing custom pieces, is anyone here a little unhappy about having to buy BA from resellers now? I just find it harder than just ordering it there. Angry 2

I bought some stuff from Brickforge a while back, but now I can't get anything more because they aren't shipping to Australia any more and apparently that counts for New Zealand!

by **The Breakdown** 11/2/2011, 11:26 pm

I was thinking about making some pieces, I just don't have clay/ can't find it...

by **JCC1004** 11/5/2011, 3:22 am

I don't get why Brick Arms are so popular. All they are is tons of guns...

BrickForge is now officially my favourite custom parts maker. Love

If only they'd made barrels and sacks all my odd little fantasies for miniatures would come true.

I need to buy some of these some time.

by **The Breakdown** 11/5/2011, 1:26 pm

Wow, those jewels are really nice! I might have to get some!

Here are some custom painted Brickarms I did a while ago...

I do love brickforge Classic Smile

I just wish I could get more of them. But I can't afford them Sad

Firestar is their only Euro Reseller... Firestar sells at the best price that they can, I am not sure there is a cheaper reseller.

Can't you order direct from Brickforge? They do offer international shipping. ;)

by Ali Cooper-Williams 11/14/2011, 12:47 pm

I don't really approve of buying non LEGO made pieces for some reason although I do like those mushrooms.

The shop is here, and it's actually quite simple once you get used to it.

hey, FRC, could you help me with some decal printing?
Also if you're offering a decal application service I'd happily send you the money for you to make me some heads(depending on prices of course ;D)

Cheers.

Possibly, what do you need printed? And I could decal heads, no more than $2 a head unless it's a rare color. If you want mass amounts, I could have them printed. Or, depending on what you want I might already have something in the works. Wink

by Henri da Flipper 11/17/2011, 8:37 pm

I'm thinking on getting like 2 or 3 heads printed, but before I have to design the entire figures.

Also, the price sounds right, I'll talk to you soon :)

Thanks.

The one on the left is by me, one on right is by my 6 year old brother. You can request one for purchase if you would like.

What is CAD? and how do you print decals on? Sounds very professional and cool! Classic Smile

by The_Custom_one 12/1/2011, 2:25 am

Those ninja helmets look nice! What color were they originally?

CAD is a just a open term for any 3D modeling software... There are free ones like Google Sketchup or ones that are 10,000-100,000 depending on what they do. The one that I am the best at is Autodesk Maya, the sister program of Auto-Cad, and is manly focused around Animation, and costs $2000, or if you went to a training program (Like I did) you get the student version free.

I think Octan described it best. Wink

And as for decals, you get a piece of decal paper, size the decals in Word or Pages, print them on to the decal paper, seal it with clear gloss, cut them out, dip them in water, and apply them. PM me for details, there are several important things.

They were black, being the only ones I had on had. Thats just how awesome Citadel Paints are. Grin

I remember from my War-Hammer days that Citadels Washes worked really well. Have you used them?

Yes, that is how I achieved the shadowed look to them.

To be honest I like your brothers a teency bit more.

Here is the complete result of making a figure to go with those Ninja Hoods.

Prototype Green Ninja Figure-BBTB2012 by First Rate Customs/HD Studios, on Flickr
He will be sold at BBTB2012 for $20-$25 (Still figuring that out) and can be custom ordered for approximently the the same price. Send me an PM for details. He was made with Citadel Acrylic Paints and sealed for playabilty. The torso and legs are a decal, not official TLC printing. Stand NOT included.

Why do customizers spend so much time and effort on wonderful things just to sell them?

Well I'm saving one for a project...*hint hint*, and this one was custom ordered. And mainly because I need cash because I'm getting an iMac soon to replace my 2007 Macbook that is pretty useless for photo editing.

Thanks! And it still needs some work. ;)

Why did you need to paint the stand in the first place?
