(Gory minifig vignette by tekka croe)

This really gory, a minifig being blown apart by another minifig in some sort of an assasination. Whats really nice is the way the gore has been made with lego parts and the Lego arm has been positioned.

 

(lego diver custom minifigs vignette by simon jackson)

Have a look at these custom minifig divers, they are pretty cool the diving helmets are totally unique, being custom made, whilst the minifigs have decals that look custom made as well, in addition the vignette with is blue wather and diving pump really sets the scene giving the minifigs a sense of dynamism, after watching Men of Honor, I can’t help but this this vignette was inspired by the notorious Navy Diving school that was so accurately portrayed in the film, regardless these minifigs are brilliant and Lego should consider making these custom diving helmets.

(lego beer makers custom minifig vignette by pepik)

Hooray! A new president, the start of a new era, and what celebration wouldn’t be complete without Beer? Didn’t you know even custom Lego minifigs drink beer? Check out this vignette of a lego beer maker, its sweet, not least because of the cool custom brewing apparatus, the minifigs however aren’t so custom, but the still look great in this setting.

(Lego Sledge vignette custom minifig by Noddy/V1)

This cool vignette of a Sled and dog team, its really well made and the ice surface is flat (i’m guessing this might be a custom surface), the sled and its accessories are totally custom and its really well made with a whole load of custom building in it, the Minifig however is a little standard, regardless, its good to look at and works.

It’s quite interesting being new to lego minifig customization at how real life inspired MOCs, its really nice to see how the nintendo has made into Lego history, I guess the point is that these real life imventions can make their way into the minifig world and enhance the lives of minifigs as well, making vignettes and scene more interesting, and adding a little more puzzle for minifig fans as they try to figure out how best to represent these on a Lego scale.

(end of days custom minifig vignette by nannan z)

It is phenominal, its simply impressive how detailed, and ornate this is, and thats not including the deep and detailed story line that is accurate based on various accounts. the Minifigs in this are also really cool, possessing various custom elements, including coats, brickarms custom minifig weapons, and sluban-esq custom minifig helmets. What really adds to this custom minifig vignette is the tents and crates of weapons that litter the vignette, I believe the crates and tents are from Lego and not custom minifig parts. You can check out the impressive back story here.

(Lego custom minifig commando raid ship vignette by Teruel211)

This is a wonderful vignette which shows a custom minifig commando raiding party with Brick arms custom minifig weapons, Lego diving accessories and a Lego minifig scale raft, what’s really nice is the construction of the waves in the vignette which give both the setting and the minifigs a more dramatic appearance.

(minifig bunker 282 by justin Vaughn)
This lovely custom minifig vignette is simply wonderful, it depicts a Lego minifig underground bunker, along with a surface crew, the minifig vignette was divided in three parts with a gradual slope, the underground parts are made of three colours showing the layers of earth, there are some really nice details such as the fossil skeleton, the stalagmites and a smoke plume, The detail in the minifig quarters are also great with a  periscope and various machines made of Lego.

This is brilliant, a Lego custom minifig pole dancer, set in a medieval vignette with a whole load of other minifigs starting at her. Its a really nice vignette with several custom parts, bits that light up and a motor that moves the custom minifig around the pole.

(Lego Star Wars Custom Minifig Planet Hoth Vignette by Brickplumber)

Yes, yes, I know this is the second vignette I’ve written about on custom minifig, but lets be clear these Lego vingettes are pretty darn impressive, take this Lego Star Wars Custom Minifig Planet Hoth Vignette by Brick plumber, talk  about dedication and artistic prowess. It’s 5 feet by 10 feet large, and has over 60,000 Lego pieces, took 4 years to make and recently won a star wars building challenge and got featured in the Lego magazine. Pretty impressive.

Despite the scale the details within the vignette are equally impressive, there are 50 real lights, and some remote controlled mechanism, that allows that AT-ATs to deploy Lego minifig storm troopers.

As you can see there is no shorteage on minifig size details, not least there are foot prints in the snow, several ‘mini vignettes’ in parts of the vignette, such as the one above, the detail on this Lego Star Wars Custom Minifig Planet Hoth Vignette is so hight that there’s even two types of snow, the un ground up powder (smooth), versus the well trampled rough snow!

So Lego mini fig customization is pretty new to me, prior to this I was a competition winner with various Warhammer custom projects, which involved a lot of painting, sculpting and planning.

My Idea is to create a usable custom mini fig vignette which doubles as a custom minifig chess set. The planned theme for this custom minifig diorama, is the British Army in parade uniform and combat fatigues, the chessboard would also be made of lego, with black square being green and white squares being brown. Layers would be created to give the custom Lego minifig chessboard some depth making it look like terrain whilst still allowing the chess set to be playable.

The chess pieces would naturally be made by custom designed Lego minifigs with BrickArm weapons. These custom minifigs would have accessories and decals to make them fit in with the respective colours of each theme. Each type of minifig would represent a particular part of the British Army, these are as follows:

Combat side
Pawns would be infantry- Gurkhas minifigs to be specific
Castles would be Para minifigs
Horses – sniper minifigs
Bishops – RPG  minifigs
Queen – SAS  minifig
King – General minifig

Parade side
all the pawns would be infantry- Guards minifigs
the castles would be artillary minifigs
horses – cavalry – blues and royals minifigs
bishops – Drum major minifigs
Queen – spy (james bond?) minifigs
King – General
