TBT! Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Ok folks this is one that's been on my mind for a while... Seeing as for the most part minimates dont come with much in the way of accessories and we all want em to look cool doing stuff, what do you use that's to scale and where do you get the stuff? The reason this cropped up is I made 'Tanked up Tony' (see below), obviously drunken Tony needs some in scale booze. I'm not just talking bottles I'm talking about anything that's to scale, I know we've covered vehicles etc before but I'm more interested in 'props' thnigs like cups, bottles, briefcases etc... Lemme know what you use. T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Isn't that bottle of Jack in scale for Tony? Kidding aside, with a little work, most Lego accessories seem to fit the Minimate scale. I've used a variety of weapons from both Lego and Megablok, including some custom Lego guns I found online. (Can't remember where offhand, but someone posted the link in the boards somewhere...boy, I'm just filled with useful information, huh?) I would assume other accessories, such as cups and whatnot would be just as easily altered to fit the smaller hand grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BannersID Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Isn't that bottle of Jack in scale for Tony? I don't know about Tony but it fits in my hand just right! in addition to what Dragon mentioned some playmobile stuff works out pretty well sometimes. This part will sound more than a little crazy, I don't have any but I know a company called Futura (Furtura?) (they put out those fabulous Star Trek ships a few years back) make tiny household items i.e. plates of sushi, bottles of saki, I think there might be a tea set, etc. While any of that would have a Asian flavor to it (sorry for the pun I've never actually tasted these toys) from the pics I've seen those items would fit well with Kubrick size figs so I think they would fit with mates as well By the way "Booze hound Tony" looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
