Boatofcar's House of Lego - Now taking commissions!

Updated!

There has been enough interest in these models that I thought I'd see if anyone was interested in buying them.

I am also willing to do commissioned work. Price is determined by the size of the sculpture and the colors used. If you have an idea, pm me and I'll give you an estimate.

[Vectorman0]

Very nice work. If I have any spare cash at the end of the month I might think about having a vectorman done by commission. Do you have any idea what one would cost? Anything around the size of the other ones you have for sale, and it would primarily be a couple shades of green. Probably something similar to my avatar. I have lots of goodies for trade too.

I could do a Vectorman for $20. He would have to be outlined like the Mega Man, though, because he's so spindly.

[infamous lunchbox]

Wow those are rad. If I have some money also at the end of the month I might take one of those off your hands. ALso how much would a Simon Belmont run me about the size of the others?

[boatofcar]

Belmont would be $25, because the shades of brown required are a bit more expensive. Just with the vectorman, if you want the whip extended behind, I'd have to frame it in a solid color. Here's an example of that kind of a pose.

[boatofcar]

Thought I'd give this a bump. I've recently found just the right sealant to hold these together, to prevent any shipping mishaps that have occurred in the past. I will be finishing a Boo in the next week for someone, and after that, unless any more commissions come in, I'm going to start on the rest of the FF squad.

[boatofcar]

Jed's Boo is done, so once again I'm open for work!

what would one of the ducks from duck hunt run?

[Sph1nx]

It it just the camera... or is the hat of black mage shaded in a kind of gradiant?

[Nukie]

Having him tattooed on my shoulder, the hat of the black mage is two different colors.

Any pose- $25

Yeah, the black Mage's hat is two different shades of yellow.

Hey Boat

My little one would love a Princess Peach? Do you think you can make one and how much?

Nice picture of Mr. Humphrey.

Hey Boat

Dustin

I can do it, but pink bricks are around 20 cents a 2x2 block, so it could get expensive. Can you find me an image you'd like me to use?


Nice picture of Mr. Humphrey.

Thanks! :)

Hey I'm just curious, where can you buy single lego bricks?

could you do one of the orly owl?

[PDorr3]

Man those are really awsome, how much do you think one of sonic would cost? in his 16 bit days of course. Im thinking along the lines of the pose where he does the 1 finger thing.

16 bit sprites are going to be expensive because of all the extra colors. However, I can do any pose you like from Sonic Pocket Adventure for around $20. Here is a sprite set from the game.

how much for one of Toad from SNES Mario Kart?

Oh wow... that is like a childhood dream of mine come true :)

[boatofcar]

how much for one of Toad from SNES Mario Kart?

Toad on his kart like this

http://mariokart.planets.gamespy.com/smk/images/not%20animated%20sprites/toadfront.gif

would run about $40, just because 16 bit sprites have so many more colors than 8 bit sprites. To see what I'm talking about, save that pic and zoom in on it. Each color has two or three different shades. Obviously the lego-fied version would be simplified somewhat, but at the very least I'd use alternate shades of red for the kart and black for the tires, and those non-standard colors run upwards of 20 cents a block.

[demen999]

How much for the mario in the picture?

[boatofcar]

How much for the mario in the picture?

$15. I can frame him in red, yellow, or blue.

[demen999]

Does he have to be framed? Also the link as well, what price?

[boatofcar]

Does he have to be framed? Also the link as well, what price?

It doesn't have to be framed, but there is a chance his arm sticking out might break off in shipment, even if it's glued. Of course, they're legos, so you can just put it back on.

The link is $20.

[Gapporin]

Just outta curosity, how much would a Lego moogle cost (either 8-bit or 16-bit)?

[djbeatmongrel]

http://www.pixelblocks.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/pbonline

i want to get a set of my own hehe

Mog from FF3 would be $20. I've got some great pink translucent bricks i can use for his wings and ears.

Pixelblocks are kinda cool, but they just don't do it for me.

[boatofcar]

Updated! Working on a Moogle now!

[-hellvin-]

You have fucking lego skills

That's some amazing work there!

[soundwave]

[boatofcar]

awesome work! are you selling the final fantasy characters? how bout the megaman?

Sure. The Final Fantasy characters are $25 each. Mega Man is $35. Shipping is $10 per model.

[boatofcar]

Hot off the presses!

I don't know what you use to come up with your creations but they look good. You might try modge podge glue from a hobby type store. It's what I use to glue puzzles together and it's flexible when dried so it won't crack. I could probably roll a puzzle up when i was all done if i gave it time to flex properly and it dries all clear if i remember correctly(i think it goes on the face) worth a looksee...and if you can't find it...i can double check the name.

That is EXACTLY what I use. Then, for added protection, I use a clear spray sealant.

[Candycab]

Great work ! :)

I was wondering if you would be interested in making a Neo-Geo Logo for me ?

It would be this one that is on the side of my SC-19

http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4105/641/1600/my%20Japanese%20Candycab.jpg

Approximate size would be around a foot or so, doesnt really matter as long as it reatians the same look.

I can get you some better pics to work off of.

Thanks :)

[Poofta!]

how much for the black mage you got there?

[Oniudra]

Im asking myself if I would want something simple like Little Samson by himself.
http://www.retrogamezone.co.uk/images/NES_Sprites/littlesamson/untitled.gif

Or go all out and get the whole gang!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/oniudra/littlesamson.gif

something like that would be expensive, but worth it!

Can you get me a close up pic of the logo?

[Muscelli]

what about a basic arcade cabinet, sort of like the one farther up there ^^, maybe like 6 or 7 feet... Hollow, of course.. i think it would be pretty cool, but that is something that is completely different then what you are doing (judging from the pics) if you or anyone else is up to it, i can offer like 700 or something like that

Yeah man, I've got to be honest....when I first saw that arcade pic I thought...."How in the hell did he do that?"

Anyways, I have been watching you and I think the stuff you are doing is excellent! I too am a Bricklink.com member and a collector.

While that would be super cool, it would cost at least $700 in parts alone, and thats if you only use the basic lego colors. Dangerboy's PS Logo was about 2 feet by 2 feet and cost me $50 in bricks.

[Oniudra]

Better yet, how about this one (2nd from last). This is practically 2 in 1, so I am guessing the price is double on it.

damn, never really realized how expensive they really were (legos)

I can do that. It would cost $60. The Brown and Aqua-Marine type green on the dragon make it more expensive.

[Cirrus]

Wow, this is so interesting! I thought it deserved a bump. I'm trying to think of what I would like to have done. Expect an order soon! :)

[Wily]

How much do you ask for the red shyguy on the pic? How much for shipping to Germany? Do you accept PayPal?

The Shyguy would be $25. Not sure on shipping to Germany. Send me a PM if you're interested.

[Reid]

WoW- really nice work!


Conrgrats!

[magoo8301]

How much for a Dr. Wily in his ship doing the evil eyebrow?

[ZiLL]

Still doing these?

I would love to get some images done.

Can you find a pic of exactly which pose you'd like? It would make a price estimate much easier.

[magoo8301]

http://animalxing.com/textures/_j/jonleung_drwily.gif

This one would be okay. I would really like one of him in his ship though. but im having trouble finding something pixelated

[boatofcar]

I'm still doing these! If anyone wants one, let me know!

[jpark203]

I like them alot. You should open up a shop on bricklink.com and sell these as custom sets. I think they would do very well. You can also use bricklink to get the individual parts you need to keep on making these.

I've actually been thinking about doing something similar myself with my Back to the Future Delorean and Ecto 1. Just gotta order the extra pieces to do it.

Keep up the great work!
