I never had the 2000s era legos, I was in high school then and didn't want to play with legos anymore (how wrong I was) and had the 90s ice planet and whatever they call the neon green/black/grey/red guys. They were probably my favorite series because of how striking the colors were. Pissed at myself for selling off all my legos when I got older.

You know you are a veteran model painter when you knock over a pot and just use the table as a big dry palette. 😂 But seriously, as somebody whose first exposure to Lego was through 90s Space and Castle Ninja, this hits so hard and so well. The theme was perfectly visualized and flawlessly executed. Fantastic job.

@ZethsCraftDesk Жыл бұрын

This is such a fun idea! I had some of the smaller ice planet kits. My mom would construct ice caves and playsets for me out of hot glue and glitter since the larger kits were so expensive, and she would integrate some white Lego bricks into the bases so I could firmly put figures on them. She even made an ice lake by chopping up some clear and light blue hot glue sticks (they came in all sorts of colours at the time) and cooking them in a pan until they congealled into a "lake," and used a milk cap lid as a guide to make a hole in the ice for ice fishing. I spent so many hours playing with the playsets Mom made and my little figures. xD

I remember my mum doing something similar for me. I went into GW to get a LOTR starter set but couldn't really play it...Christmas rolls around and I get this big box, full of crafting supplies, cheap glues and paints, and a printed set of instructions, like the miniature instructions to build a bit of helm's deep... At the bottom of the box was her old copy of LOTR and the Hobbit, and that was kinda the first time I really got into fantasy, and later D&D.

This was a powerful hit of nostalgia for me. I have so many great memories of playing with my Ice Planet Lego outside in the snow, imagining my backyard a hostile alien moon. You captured the way those little explorers always looked in my imagination, and I'd love to see more Ice Planet builds from you. If you wanted a break, I also always had a soft spot for the Aquazone line!

I can't believe this series is going to actually happen! I own EVERY set of Ice Planet 2002, except for the huge starship. I played with them every day with a friend of mine for years. We used to pile books and whatever object we could find on the table and then cover them up with white handkerchiefs to create the snowy landscape. Exploring alien caves, battling with Blacktrons, face alien invasions, you name it. I could go on for hours. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Lego magazine encouraged you to scan their pages to reveal ‘secrets’ too) I’d love to see a votann vehicle converted into an ice rover

stupendous. Taking one medium (modern minis) and using them to emulate another medium (2000s lego) is a really fun artistic exercise. Is it identical? No, it couldn't possibly be, but it is obvious what the inspiration is, and I think things like this are one of my favorite artistic enterprises (among many others).
