One of my favorite memories of Christmas is waking up Christmas day to find my own personal Nintendo Entertainment center already setup in my room. Super Mario Bros. was the first video game I owned. Since that day I’ve always been a fan of Mario. With the Super Mario Bros. movie coming out in April,…
With the Covid pandemic winding down and it seemed safer to go to cons, I found myself with some free time in the summer of 2022. While I’m not into Anime, there was an upcoming Anime convention run by the same friends who do Tidewater Comicon and Hampton Comicon. I wanted to help out so…
With Tidewater Comicon 2022 just 2 weeks before the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+, it was easy to choose Kenobi as 1 of the 2 new statues I made for the convention. Like with most statues, I started with the head. I used a picture of Obi-Wan from the Clone Wars TV show to…
For the second statue I made for Tidewater Comicon 2022, it was a toss up between Mighty Thor and Scarlet Witch. With some input from others and realizing Thor had a cool hammer prop I made the decision to go with Mighty Thor. Since my previous Thor statue was from Thor: Ragnarok, I didn’t get…
I enoyed seeing Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa (Black Panther) in Captain America: Civil War, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. Like most people I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. Hampton Comicon 2021 was the first convention after his death that I had a chance to do a tribute to…
In the fall of 2021, Marvel fans were all waiting for the new Spider-Man: No Way Home movie. When the trailers were released and we saw Alfred Molina as Doc Ock again, I knew I wanted to do a Doc Ock statue with tentacles. The biggest challenge for this project was the tentacles. I had…
On January 24th, 2019, I was informed that Sunbeam, my friend, guild master, and main dungeon healer of over 10 years, had passed away from lung cancer. I can still remember the night we met online. It was the launch event for Wrath of the Lich King. I was wandering around Stormwind on my main…
October 2019 was when the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie was released. Jack Nicholson will always be my favorite Joker actor followed closely by Heath Ledger and Mark Hamill. The version of the Joker I did was close to what is normally included in standard LEGO sets and looks very similar to the Joker in animated…
One of the actors from Stranger Things was a guest at Hampton Comicon 2019. Since Eleven is one of the most recognizable characters from the show, I decided to make a statue. So really I just wanted an excuse to make a LEGO Eggo… My daughter made the dress and sweater for this statue.
Shazam (the other Captain Marvel) was the second LEGO-inspired statue I created in 2019. Since the lightning bolt on his chest is an important part of the character’s costume, I wanted to add lights to make it glow. The lightning bolt was made in a few different layers. Using my paper template, I cut out…
Captain Marvel is the first project of the 2019 Convention season. This statue was created in the weeks leading up to the Captain Marvel movie premiere. After the experience with webbing on Spider-Man, I decided to do the same raised design on the Captain Marvel torso. Since I knew this would take a long time…
