Three days ago my latest LEGO Ideas project went live on the platform seeking supporters and I have just realised that I have not really put it on my website properly yet, so today I am going to fix that (I have also realised that I haven't put my previous project, Catherine Cat's Café [...]
So here are my shield designs for the Forest Guard (my re-imagined update of the Forestmen faction). You will notice there is a lot less variation than with my Knights of the Black Falcon shield designs, this is because unlike with the Black Falcons where I aim to have multiple units and knights with [...]
As with my custom Black Falcons torsos, I wanted to update and create new torso designs for the Forestmen (I am calling my version The Forest Guard for my upcoming build).

I have been in the planning stages of my next major build now for a while, mainly working on design elements and buying a few bits and pieces to get ready to block out the main layout. This build will ideally be for display at Brickvention 2021 in Melbourne and will explore one of my [...]
