As usual, full-size pictures in my flickr set.

I’ve been working on this one for a while and it’s finally done: Lego Keith Hernandez 1986.
This was my first face decal. Thank you everyone who reviewed the variations. I also did decals for the stripes. I had a hard time getting the colors of the stripes right (because of the color of the […]

A big thanks to Red Sox Monster for posting about my Lego creations, as well as Home Run Derby, Yahoo Sports, Deadspin, MetsBlog, and all the others who picked up the story.
Side note: apparently Kevin Youkilis is a Lego fan (or at least his stepson is). I’ll trade him a custom for an autographed something!

I’ve been a slacker about posting my projects lately, so here they are all in one lump:

Kathy is from Maine and she and her mom are Red Sox fans. Her mom requested a Jonathan Papelbon, so here he is. I tried to capture his weird facial expression but it didn’t come out so good.

Ever since I made Lego David Wright, people have been saying “Make some Yankees!”.

Here’s David Wright, complete with orange t-shirt and sticking-out tongue. This is the first time I’ve used decals.
Up to now I’ve painted everything by hand, but the pinstripes, logo, numbers, etc were just too detailed so I decided to give decalling a try. I used MicroMark clear inkjet decal paper.
You just print the […]

I put this together for someone at work who’s a huge Favre fan.
To be honest, I’m not very happy with the helmet, specifically the face mask. I had tried slicing the chin piece in half on another helmet, to make it look like the bars of the face mask but it didn’t really come out […]

This weekend Rick and I went to Dreamation, a gaming convention in nearby East Brunswick. On Friday we played in a couple of excellent indy RPGs (Primetime Adventures and Mortal Coil). Saturday we met up with a bunch of the excellent nerds of NerdNYC, and in the afternoon we played Mechaton.
Mechaton is a wargame of […]

Here’s Starbuck and an improved Adama (now with receding hairline!)
Colors are a little funky. I need a full-spectrum lightbulb.
(Lego is its own category now, since I’ve got a ton of stuff in the queue.)
