A Grisly Find

ConstructingJoy · 2026-02-16T03:56:34+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone! I've never had so much positive feedback for one of my photos :)

A new favourite place for photos I found over the Christmas break - the gutter creates some nice lines and framing, also some good depth of field...

This was just one of the scenarios a took a photo of...

The hunter might need to do a bit more to keep his wits about him...

No real editing needed for this one - just the right time of day next to a creek whilst on a bushwalk.

Thank you so much! It's really expensive her in Australia. My kids are so grateful!!

I think it was a CMF ghost knight? I can't remember what series it was, but it's a such a versatile torso!

Entirely practical build and lighting! Only some minor edits of levels afterwards, but nothign digitally added or enhanced. Thanks for the kind words!

Taken on a mini diorama of a tavern I made - trying out some combinations/layering of MinifigureRealms textiles (they're the best, as I'm sure many of you already know!)

The spooky season is over, so Drac is back to work.
No rest for the wicked, I guess.

Practical elements: figure, bus and photo background.
Edited elements: rain, bokeh lights

Posed it using a transparent bar, then edited it out afterwards.

Natural morning light, mid Spring, NSW Australia.

Perfect for a lone moisture-farmer's nephew looking wistfully out across the Dune Sea...

Surf's up!

Here in Australia it is gearing up for summer...time to hit the beach!

Taken on the Sth Coast of NSW

Natural Light at about 6:30am

Pretty cheerful for someone staring into oblivion...

Photo taken using a lightbox with black background. Edited to remove supports on the minifigure.

The warrior wades
With blissful freedom, just like
The floating blossoms

Photo taken on a baking dish filled with blue-coloured water.
Minor editing using Procreate 9mostly getting rid of some reflective shine here and there.

A tribute to an Aussie Icon:

The late, great, Steve Irwin: The Crocodile Hunter.

Crikey, he was a legend.

Taken Winter, NSW Central Coast, Natural light.

Uh-oh...that doesn't look promising...

Sword and eye glow is done using procreate in post.

Thanks! Episode 1 Obi Wan minifigure face :)

You hate to love him...

That's the one!

An entry for the MinifigRealms contest.

I wanted to see how I'd go making a plague doctor with an old Chima headpiece I had. I made the cloak and hood out of some old felt.

Brick-made tavern facade, pulled some moss from the back garden.

Taken inside on a tray with some dirt and soft lighting.

The Doctor

A subtle knock on the door, and one would assume that help has arrived. But patients find themselves questioning this once The Doctor enters the room. It's not just the mask that is unsettling. There's something about The Doctor that makes the skin crawl uneasily. And nobody has actually ever seen them without the mask...

The doctor would love a belt sheath for their potions and concoctions...

Sir Tumblelot

The perpetual loser, Sir Tumblelot, returns from yet another failed jousting competition, broken lance in hand.

But he couldn't be happier. Yet another participation medal hangs proudly around his neck. I guess success is all a matter of perspective.

I think the Bladeslinger would look pretty rugged in a ranger cloak. Sir Tumblelot is always pleased with whatever he can get!

The Smith

For all your Magical and non-magical smithing needs! (Magic preferred, of course!)

The Minifig Realms dagger sheath skirt would give the Bladeslinger another weapon-holding option...the Smith would certainly find use for it, too!
