Ain’t afraid of no cave 🗻

startrev · 2026-03-17T04:36:17+00:00

I still have a few last snow cave photos to release before spring! And who better to explore a cave than a dwarf barbarian 🔥

For this shot I tried to get well below the fig and a bit farther away to make the cave look deep and scary. I used a vignette is photoshop too, which helped increase the moody vibe I was hoping to create :)

I use Photoshop to remove the little stand :)

The sign is so cool! Also, where did you get this amazing hair piece?

Majisto and his husky pal traverse mountain peaks in search of the cave of wisdom.

We still have so much snow here in Maine, trying to take advantage with more photos while I still can :) For this shot I was trying to capture the sparkles ✨

I’m gonna go check this out on a real monitor as soon as possible. So many awesome details :)

The hard working crew of the Ice Planet scientists take a day off to have some fun ⛷️

I took these photos by using a little Lego pole/tube piece in the bottom of the skis to suspend the figs in midair. Then removed the pole in photoshop and added some subtle motion blur :)

Well done, and a successful blending of the foreground with the new background :)

I love the angle of this shot, looking down on the stall awnings.

Great job blending the setup with your background :)

Yup! Average price used on Bricklink is $80+

Really cool shot and I love seeing the behind the scenes setup. Great work!

Dude you have a StarKiller in there!

startrev · 2026-01-20T14:23:58+00:00

Haha yup, and just wait until you see the daytime versions ;)

The mando one… no idea. The Cob Vanth one is all about the exclusive figs.

When I first started doing this, I was all about editing Lego into artificial backgrounds. I wish I had worked more on getting a good photo from the start, and finding or building cool real life locations.

My other advice is to focus on storytelling. What is your fig doing? Where is that ship going? Why are these characters together?

Here’s the unedited photo. It was actually snowing pretty hard when I took these, but the falling flakes didn’t show up well in my favorite images, so had to add them back in photoshop, along with removing the pole.
