Project Tits & Trifle: The Next Batch

Post by SteveD »

Following on from the Lego Shadows, and my little side project of my own little Lego armies, I'm back producing some new little Lego Customs that I'm going to be selling on eBay. They're fresh out of the paint and lacquer shop, so here they are:-

The High Command!
Image

And the beauty of some of these - removeable Helmets!!!!
Image

You may well recognise the head of Cobra Commander! :baron: We're on Action Force continuity here chaps - so obviously I had to use the same head as I did for :baron2: . He comes with the gun shown, and fully removeable helmet.

Next up:- The Baroness:-
Image
Now, she's had a bit of trim since Stormie Saves Xmas - New Years Eve with Stormie and Steven Segal can make a girl do crazy things (I couldn't find longer hair for her anywhere other than the one I got for mine I used in SSX). She comes with the gun as shown, and a walk like John Wayne ( :storm: "I can have that effect on the fairer sex!")

And to keep her company:- Red Jackal/Destro.

Image

I'm not 100% happy with the mask on him yet, and suspect that the ones that go to eBay will not have a removeable mask, but a fixed head, as it's a swine to hollow and you have to take half the back off to get it to fit, so I may forget about the lego head and go straight to the :jackal: head. Comes with a lovely silenced pistol.

And finally, what Lego Shadow Army would be complete without Red Laser???

Image

He comes with his fully removeable helmet, mean scowl, glass eye (!) and RPG as shown!

As I say, these are the first ones done, which traditionally I keep for my shelf, but there is another batch of each waiting in the wings ready to ebay, but if anyone from here wants any of them for a bit cheaper than I do them on ebay, drop me a PM.

Side profile - just to show you what I mean with the Jackal head.

Image

Unless I have a change of heart I intend these to be the last of the Tits & Trifle Project. I still have a few Barons, Black Majors and several Shadows for sale, but I'm not planning on developing any more new characters after these (although I may make a Muton and Kraken for my own collection!)

Thanks, and PM me to order!!! :-D :-D

Just realised the camera flash is making the :laser: helmet look far more shiny than it is. It's done with a gloss lacquer, but it's not as shiny as it looks in the pic!

Also, I have the moulds finished to make Red Jackal/ Destro heads and :cobracommander: / :laser: heads with the neck joints etc (basically a direct clone from a series 3 head) if anyone wants any for customs?

Cracking Steve, they just get better and better!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Great stuff - love Red Laser - just my era. Certainly his face looks perfect and the helmet is great.

Cheers guys! I have to say that :cobracommander: / :laser: is one of my favourites! They look spot on "in the hand" - the pics are making them look way too shiny. I'll try to do some more pics tomorrow (once I've driven down to Somerset, ironed Eddies shirts, and driven back again) in a bit better light.
:-D
