here is a picture of a wizard and his cart...

Image

the cart can hold a lot of treasure, depite it's small size...

Image

here we have a bugbear, who is looking for a fight...

Image

funny little bugbear....

Image

the cart can even carry a heavy strongbox...

Image

the cart can carry two passengers...

Image

the cart is obviously based on Gandalf's from the PJ fellowship movie...

please tell me what you think...

I there a reason the wizard is carrying a mimic around? :wink:

Cool cart. It looks very versatile. The wizard is interesting, too.

Good cart Mr.boses.

A perfect supply cart for your armies, or as you intended it, the wizards cart!

Well designed, sturdy, compact, and umm...adorable to. :P

Really nice cart, some non-castle pieces come to good use! Awesome stuff as allways. 8)

I like the little bugbear getting trapped and then... Becoming friend with the wizard? :D

"Zeruk Boort Fo!"
(Bugbearish)

Nice design. I like the use of the railing pieces. Usually I think they look too modern, but in this case I think it looks ok. The only problem I have with the cart is its too black. You could put some color into it.

I like it all. "Bugbear": that's great.

Nice construction on the cart especially.

This is great - I like the wizards too - but the cart is very cool. Like you said, it seems to hold a lot for a small cart, and it's also built very well - very much like Gandalfs. Great work, as usual!

I just noticed that, actually. That is a nice idea for a brick-built hat. The mace is cool too, btw.

I wonder where you got the basket/net that was thrown on the bugbear? Is that a LEGO piece?

He got it from a basketball set.
Nice cart and cult wizard(he knows the cult of mimic, right?)

Hey,

The basketball net is here. It's found in the NBA sets like this one:

Wow :shock:

Non-castle sets are truly valuable in providing some great unique pieces. I always use HP and SW, but the sports series, thats one I wouldn't expect, nice!

Yes Ottoatm, useful indeed....

I took the arms off of the NBA players and attached them to the Ewok torso, and then I added regular brown minifig legs...

the result is a very strange, stooping sort of Bugbear, and the hands look more claw-like this way as well. I use the hands and arms to the Ewoks on my other darker skinned figures...and the Ewok stubbies for my other minifigs, like dwarves and halflings and such...

I hope this makes sense...

Heh heh - yep! Lots of sense - I'm always doing the same kind of thing, as are most of us (I think) as we part our misc. sets out... intersting to hear how you did it all
