Kizmoz Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Hi, A few months back I posted about my LEGO Idea for a STAR Labs build, I have since been able to aquire most the pieces I need to make the build. I really like the build and have it along side my other superhero figures/builds but want to complete it best I can with some custom printed pieces, I was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere that can make them for a decent price? Stuff like computer screen displays on flat tiles and possibly custom printed Torsos STAR Labs - https://ideas.lego.com/projects/130286 I have also come up with a couple more ideas on LDD for Flash themed sets that I'd like to share and get peoples opinions on :) Pipeline Metahuman Cells - https://ideas.lego.com/projects/144817 Flash v Zoom - https://ideas.lego.com/projects/146605 Quote
Bricky Dee Williams Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Wow, Flash v Zoom looks great, but I exceptionally love the Pipeline! Well done! Quote
Anonknee Muss Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Looks absolutely amazing, very accurate and awesome!! Quote
legobagel Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Being a HUGE fan of CW's the Flash, I LOVE THIS! I've seen your Pipeline before, but I had no idea how good everything else was! Great job! Cisco, Wells, and Cold are my favorite of your figs. Quote
Zergos Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I've seen the pipeline and the main star labs sets before, and they are both awesome!! Hadn't seen flash vs zoom before, but it looks super epic too! Nicely done! :D Quote
NXS7 Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Loving that Harry Wells!! And everything else, capture the magic. We NEED this Quote
BaneShake Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I love these projects, and would buy any of them in a heartbeat! I'll support your new one too! I started a custom printing help thread a little while back, and someone on there may be able to help; a few options are already listed. Quote
LegoPercyJ Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 All of these look brilliant! I love the show, and all these are a great representation of it. Really like the STAR Labs one Quote
Kizmoz Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 Thank you everyone :) Here's a load more images of the designs if you'd like to browse over the lot - https://www.flickr.com/photos/140336823@N02/ Quote
HyperOnion Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 I'm unfamiliar with the source material, so I can't speak for the accuracy. But just as a set these look awesome! As for custom torsos / tiles, other people who have been in the Lego community longer can probably give you more options, but I've used Minifigs.me in the past for a custom head, and was happy with the result. I know they do custom torsos and tiles too. Looks like you're in the UK too, so it being British based should be less of a problem for you (I'm in the US, so shipping / converting to pounds wasn't ideal for me...). Let me know if you find other services that do this kinda thing? I have some ideas brewing in the back of my head to convert the Detectives Office modular into an Jessica Jones Alias Investigations set. And by converting, I mostly just mean swapping out the printed window for a custom printed window... Quote
Anonknee Muss Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Thank you everyone :) Here's a load more images of the designs if you'd like to browse over the lot - https://www.flickr.com/photos/140336823@N02/ Thank you! The wheelchair is really accurate as well!! Quote
Mattyj82 Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 This is amazing. Everything is spot on. Love the time wraiths aswel. Quote
Ashnflash Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Wow not sure if you saw the Wally's new suit! But that'd be a cool addition to your creation! Quote
cold_fuzion Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 These would all be an auto-buy for me. Nicely done! Quote
AnnaBuildsLego Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Supporting all of these. LEGO CW Flash is my biggest wish at the moment! These are wonderful. Quote
Kizmoz Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Supporting all of these. LEGO CW Flash is my biggest wish at the moment! These are wonderful. Thanks, I'll keep pushing them till their timers run down and even if they don't reach their goal, I hope it would show that people are interested in the CW versions of the DC Characters enough for them to include them in some sets :) Just need to try find a big enough audience, a lot of the groups and forums about the shows are really stricked to following rules of purely discussing what happens on the show ;/ Wow not sure if you saw the Wally's new suit! But that'd be a cool addition to your creation! Will wait till season 3 starts before looking at how to include Wally into a design :) Just need to figure out how his headpiece would work ;/ (ideally a new piece instead of a printed head) Quote
Marvelous Spidey Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 It could be printing on a re-colored Flash headpiece. I'm not sure how good that would look, but they wouldn't need a new mold for that. Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 Sorry about the bump. Do you happen to have LDD files for any of these? They look fantastic! Quote
Master_Data Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Thanks for the bump. That S.T.A.R. Labs build is perfect! Quote
Agent Kallus Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 Sorry I know that this is the wrong sub-forum to ask this but how do you put custom prints in ldd/renders. Quote
Kizmoz Posted August 29, 2016 Author Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Sorry I know that this is the wrong sub-forum to ask this but how do you put custom prints in ldd/renders. If you do a quick search on the forums there's a few guides for it, I still cant fully wrap my head around it but there's one where you add/replace the image to other default decals in LDD itself... but I just ended up using Decorations tool in "LDD to POV-Ray Converter" to replace default decals during the rendering process. Here's a couple of views of STAR Labs set up along on my shelf between my other superhero figs Edited August 29, 2016 by Kizmoz Quote
fred67 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I've found some pretty interesting custom pieces here: http://www.eclipsebricks.com/eclipsegrafx/ I don't think they do "custom," but they do have a lot of interesting tiles and printed parts that might suffice. Quote

Thanks I had looked in the ldd section before I joined and because I was a guest I couldn't use the search so I had kinda forgotten it was there. Also I think the first order technician torso with Wyldystyle's hood would look good for earth two Wells if you're thinking about season two stuff. Quote
FTG Prime Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 Wow this is phenomenal man !! As a huge fan of CW´s Flash how can i not love this ?! I saw the Ideas post of the S.T.A.R Labs build a while back and i had no idea you built it IRL oh and let me tell you it looks great ! The other builds look fantastic aswell !! Quote
