"It comes in any color you want, so long as you've got the paint..."

Brick Arms fanboyism has finally gone to the next level. A MOC actually showing Will selling his tiny weapons. Brilliant? Annoying? Freaky?


Perhaps all of these.







Also: Bravo to Mr. Chapman for filling a niche and doing it so well. I may not be into guns but I really like the Star Wars/sci-fi and castle weapons Brick Arms has produced.

I missed this when it was posted a couple of weeks ago so I just wanted to make sure I added here as well.

I really like the simple nature of the top window. Personally, I'd be inclined to use a 'wall coloured' 1x4 plate in between the wall and the profile brick/shutter.

While the bottom one isn't anything new it's good to show some of the newer kids just how nice the most basic of snot can look terrific! The other two though, are very out of this world.

I've used these mudguards as window decoration a few times myself but have always found the look somehow....lacking. Most of us know that adding two plates to a bracket gives us one stud of thickness but wow, the use of the 1x2 plate with rail and then a tile? This is really one of those "Duh, of course!!" moments for me. It all makes perfect sense once you see it, thanks Mr. Lars, once again you've taken us to school.
