Lego: Bookends

Lego make a lot of merch, apart from their regular sets. For example, these dandy bookends.

Of course they are made of Lego bricks (glued together in the factory), so other Lego can be added to them. So, I made a Discworld bookend and a James Bond bookend, for their respective sections of our bookshelves.

The guns are from Brickarms - they are a Spy Pistol (clearly a Walther PPK) and a gold Spy Pistol with Silencer (to represent Scaramanga's Golden Gun.) Brickarms distributor in Australia is Minifig World, and they throw freebies in with their orders, which is how I got the gold pistol. They also do a pack of spy weapons which includes a model of the Golden Gun, which is cute.

Francisco Scaramanga: A duel between titans... my golden gun against your Walther PPK.
James Bond: One bullet against my six? 
Francisco Scaramanga: I only need one, Mr. Bond. 










"I often don't know where my Luggage is; that's what being a tourist is all about". Twoflower, in The Light Fantastic.

The Discworld scene is not from any particular book; it's just some generic wizards reconsidering their options, in view of the approaching Luggage.

Lego - Super Troopers!

Here are the Lego Super Troopers:

The .45 Auto is from Brickarms, as are the smoke grenades. The Glock 17 and torches are made by STC. The utility belts and nightstick are from BrickForge as are the Ranger Hats. The figures and the yellow head are the original Lego Collectable Minifigures Series 2 Highway Patrol figures, as is the speeding ticket. The handcuffs are a Lego part. I like BrickForge because they sell via PayPal, but I generally buy Lego weapons from Minifig World, the Australian distributor for Brickarms, STC and BrickForge.



The minifigure heads have cool sunglasses, but don't have moustaches. (Rabbit has been growing his for a month.) Also, I appear to have bought the Ranger Hats in Dark Tan, rather than Reddish Brown. It looks like BrickForge have some more cool items for sale, so I can easily fix that!

Lego - Brickarms and Brickforge

I bought some custom moulded Lego weapons from Brickarms and a few helmets from Brickforge. Here are a SWAT team, some city cops and their plain clothes friends. They are here to deal with a group of miscreants who have some clearly terrorised civilians at gunpoint.

I also committed an act of sacrilege and PAINTED A PIECE OF LEGO!

Ok, it was a hat from one of my two Indiana Jones Lego sets. I have a spare one, since I only need one Indy.

Why would I do this? Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows...
