Here at The Brick Post we love a good custom LEGO Minifigure, combine that with a new TV show, Movie, Game, and Book makes it even better, getting characters we know and love!
We’ve recently got into The Last Of Us from HBO and we can’t get enough of it, so when we spotted Ellie & Joel at our go to place for customs, Minifigs.me, we had to have them. We’ve already reviewed these figures here if you’d like to know more about them.
To honour the arrival of these awesome custom LEGO Minifigures I wanted to recreate a scene from both the Game and TV show. At the time I had just finished episode 2, where they’re crossing the post-pandemic City by rooftop, so what better scene to do than that I asked myself. It seemed single enough to do, a bunch of tan slopes, a window, grey bricks and a mass of foliage.
I love working on a slightly smaller scale and the 16×16 plates are perfect for creating scenes with a ton of details whilst cutting down the amount of parts needed. Rummaging through my pieces I found enough grey masonry bricks to create both the builds, these bricks are great as they not only build up a large space quickly but they also have detail built-in to them.
I won’t go too much into the process as I am in no way a master builder, mustering all my skills to put this MOC together, so please be kind. I know it’s not perfect but it does the job and I’m happy with it, which is what counts.
This also tied nicely into #SigfigScene, hosted by ourselves and good friend Mark (@brick_beat). Popping Lil’ G, my Sigfig, into the scene was great fun and the final image came out better than I expected. Using a tablet that had an abandoned City landscape on it, which I Googled, I positioned it behind my MOC and snapped away on my phones camera. Editing it later to really make the colours pop and blurring the background to draw focus to my Sigfig.
