Smartgun Tutorial by Catsy

Brandon Bannerman (Catsy) is both a customizer and fan of the Alien's movies. Thus, it's no surprise that he's put together a tutorial on how to create your own minifig smartgun using BrickArms and LEGO parts.

Pricey? It can be if you don't have the requisite BA parts, but what can you do until Hazel releases his version via United Armory?

You can see the full tutorial on Brandon's Flickr stream.

Geiger Would Be Proud

Yes, I recognize that these Xenomorphs from Aliens are not minifigures, but who else is your ABS Ripley going to fight? These are some great creations from Brandon (AKA Catsy), with lots of articulation and pose-ability.

These would pair nicely with the upcoming Hazel Fantasy Aliens line which debuts at the Tokyo Toy Fair in March.

Brandon has incorporated these great builds into a series of scenes which can be seen on his Flickr stream.

Catsy's Stargate Tactical Vest and Tutorial

Brandon (Catsy) continues to impress, this time due to his inventiveness with a craft knife. Pictured above is Brandon's custom minifigure of 'Samantha Carter' from Stargate SG-1. Samantha is sporting an Omega tactical vest that Brandon created using ribbon and black foam. I think it has a nice feel and adds an extra dimension (literally) to custom cloth accessories.

But wait, there's more...continuing to show his commitment to 'giving back' to the customs community, he's posted a brief tutorial on how to make one for yourself. So why not head on over to Brandon's Flickr stream and check it out. Just hit up your local craft store before you do.

Catsy's Object Lesson

So I try not to make the same mistake twice...Brandon Bannerman (Catsy) has yet another amazing scene he's created this time from the files of the Space Police. It seems that rouge cop Nigel MacGruder is leading the Jovian Fleet to plunder the Sol precinct.

Fantastic use of lighting in this scene, and do I see a new use of the BrickArms Brodie!

It seems Nigel and his gang will go to any lengths to keep order in the gang. That one bloke shot so close to the two men on the floor it seems they spilled their punch...
