This Mohawk Custom Minifigure uses some very tasty third party LEGO compatible pieces including BrickWarriors very nicely designed mohawk. The Printed head and hips and by eclipseGrafx, the tactical vest, short sleeves, and watch by Tiny Tactical, the MP9 and distress marker light by Minifig.Cat and the fantastic tactical tomahawk by CombatBrick.
The result is a high quality custom that looks great and the Sheath by UAS is a very nice addition!

Although this is not the greatest photograph, this Skyrim Dram Maros Custom Minifigure looks very good featuring the full Dawnguard armour.
The sculpted detailing is very nice, and the face really stands-out, and the minifigure is painted to a really high standard.
Finally he is carrying a crossbow, which looks to be hand painted too.
After a long wait which was down to the process of making a new mold, Arealight have just released six new helmets. They are the Trooper helmet, Combat helmet, Comm helmet, Pilot helmet, Hunter helmet, and Merc helmet. As well as being available in white so you can paint your own details on them, they are also available in a range of colours including Blue, Dark Gray, and Black.
The Merc helmet features quite a bit of detail including an antenna which is molded onto the helmet, and the breather part of the face is also detailed quite well and would look great for those Old Republic Mercenaries.
The Combat helmet is based off the trooper helmet from the Old Republic Trailer. The helmet has a great design and really does look fantastic.
These will be available online soon from your official Arealight reseller.

BrickArms are taking LEGO compatible weapon making to the next level by overmolding the stock and handle in different colours. This StG44 looks amazing, however the process of making these is very time consuming to produce, with a defect rate higher than normal.

The mould is designed so that two colours can be injected one after the other. The plastic shrinks, so the entire gun would not fit into the second cavity. So you only include enough detail to “register” the gun to inject the grip and butt stock around. Since nothing is overmolded on the front of the gun, there is no need to cut a detailed cavity for it to sit into. This process saves lots of machine time.
Ever wondered how the soldiers evolved through history, well these excellent custom minifigures using official LEGO parts show the timeline for both the USA and England.
