I have always been a fan of the film Jurassic Park and dinosaurs, so I could not resist building a few props inspired by both!
Below you can see all of my Jurassic themed builds so far.
LEGO STAN LEE BUST
I decided to create The LEGO Stan Lee bust as a tribute to the great man himself and submitted it to LEGO IDEAS hoping that it will reach the 10,000 goal and have a chance of becoming a real LEGO set.
Sadly it did not reach the 10,000 goal but it was still very successful in many ways. Having being live on the site for a few weeks i decided to do a search on the internet to see what sites had picked up on my design and idea and was amazed to see it featured on various entertainment and news websites which was great.
I then noticed that it was directing me to therealstanLee.com I thought maybe a fan site or news site about marvel so i decided to check it out and was amazed to see that it was actual Stan Lees official website and he liked the design!
"Finally! Stan Lee Gets the LEGO Treatment! Build Your Own Stan Lee!"
That was the title to the article that you can see below in the image with them getting behind the project agreeing that Stan Lee needs the LEGO treatment also.
Again even with this I still fell short of the 10,000 supporters needed and the project got lost in the 100s of submissions each week that get uploaded to the LEGO Ideas site.
I was sad to see the project not reach the goal but still amazed and proud that it got featured on Stan Lees official website and recognised by the team at Marvel!
TOY HUNTER
Everyone knows Jordan Hembrough a renowned toy dealer and ultimate Toy Hunter, takes toy-picking to a new level as he takes on collections from some of the most popular cities in the US and the world! His reputation for having the most sought after, rarest finds has labelled him the "in-demand dealer" that everyone wants to have evaluate their stash. Will Jordan be able to track down the ultimate find that he needs?
In this LEGO set Jordan is at comic con with a huge selection of toys for sale. Each mini toy box could be either printed onto brick or in sticker and then attached *Box designs to be finally chosen by LEGO boxes shown in the images are for example only not final product design. The set would come with a Jordan Hembrough and Stephen Savino Minifigs.
We think this will be a great set for any LEGO fan also fans of the Toy Hunter TV Series. The set is made of 359 pieces but this number may change in the final Lego Review.
We have spoken to Jordan Hembrough the toy hunter himself and showed him the designs and possibilities for this set and he told us the following....
"This is a set that Fans of the TV series have been asking for, for many years. I think LEGO is the perfect company to make such a fun and fan favourite item!"
The Project went live and despite huge support from Joradan did not achieve its 10,000 supporters goal which was a shame.
This could have been a huge LEGO set with many possibilities for extras and to merge with various other sets and brands. Also a chance to bring back the great TV series Toy Hunter which all fans want to see make a return.
HATCHING DINOSAUR EGG
Having built dino eggs before, I wanted to build something a bit more challenging. I chose to build a baby Velociraptor hatching from an egg, inspired by Blue from Jurassic World. It was an interesting build to do having to do the bottom section of the egg then build the baby Velociraptor in one half before adding the top section of the egg shell and sealing, painting and texturing to finish.
SWORD MOUNT
What better way to display all of my dinosaur themed creations with a large Jurassic Park sign. The sign stands at approx. 1.5 metres tall on its stand and has a textured finish to give it the full effect.
