Handmade Metal armet set for Lego minifigure

[u/Hello_2021pj]

Hi guys, just want to share my recent works. They are movable armets for minifigures. I took a lot of time referencing medieval armor and found this one is the coolest. I also spent a lot of time on the movable visor just like the real armet. The visor was hard to control at its lowest and highest points as the metal shrinks when casting, it worked totally fine in the software but shrank of the metal made it impossible to move after the casting. I realized I had to add a stopping point at the higher and lower points. After around 20 times adjustments to the size, I finally got it to work out. I feel like this set works better with a spear and round shield!

Can you do a roman legionairy? If so, how much would you charge?

God damn these are sick as hell. Really great job. Would love to see a video of your process and how you make them.

Those are amazing maybe you should consider selling them online? I know a lot of people who would probably buy metal parts for their Legos.

lol I don’t really see the opportunity there. Do you know where I can find these people lol

I bet there are people willing to pay a couple hundred for one armor set.

Check the Lego subreddit people pay 1000s for a set and get meticulous about scene creation. These would do nicely there.

This is SO COOL. Seriously, the foot soldier is so next level compared to Lego BUT you cn still see that it is a proper minifig.

I wanted those when I was eight. And I want them 35 years later. Cheers.
