Chols Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Flickr | BrickshelfI've been working on this project for a while since the boards went down. This is a set of thee LEGO Bookends, each representing a classic LEGO theme:[*]Left: Town/City[*]Center: Castle[*]Right: Space (specifically inspired by the Spyrius subtheme)The bookends function pretty well. The textbooks on my shelf are quite heavy and fall over easily, but the bookends have managed to support them. Each bookend has a large gray plate in the back to provide extra support.So yeah comments/criticisms appreciated and all that good stuff.

Bambi Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Haha awesome.Love the space one. I really like the color scheme on it. The space ship is awesome too.Next favorite is the City one. Love the caution tape on it. How did you do that? [my blog] [custom emotes] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xinlo Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Those look great, Chols. Cool idea, too. I too like the space one the best, but in my opinion, while they're all good, the colours on the city one make it seem cluttered somehow. Maybe I just don't like red. Castle one's simpler, but still cool. The Toa's Hideout is once again open for business! We've been gone for a few years, but now BIONICLE's back and so are we.

Love the caution tape on it. How did you do that?Yeah, the space bookend is my favorite too. :3 That caution tape was made from two long LEGO stickers with chevron decals. I stuck them together, the wrapped them around the four poles. I think the effect came out really nice.Those look great, Chols. Cool idea, too.

Castle one's simpler, but still cool.Yeah, I was trying to go for classic LEGO colors on the house, with the red resembling bricks, but now I kinda wish I made it another color since the Space one is also red. :/ Latest MOC: Ol' Dusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant-Sud Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Very very nice. I'd love bookends like those. :3 Great idea by the way. All three very original.

Meiko Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 NICE! I could really use some of these (I could also use some new bookshelves for that matter...)! I really like how classic they are, with all of the classic themes. -- Meiko - @georgebarnick LUG Ambassador and administrator at Brickipedia News reporter and database administrator at Brickset Administrator at BIONICLEsector01 DISCLAIMER: All opinions and contributions made under this account are based solely on my own personal thoughts and opinions, and in no way represent any of the above groups/entities.

Obsessionist Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 These are so cute! I want a set of my own! Cool idea, the details are great, in particular the stars on the space one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxumo Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 why i would have never thought of that. and it's kinda of nice that they can actually hold the weight. The theme part is interesting. Do you plan on doing more? Banner made by Onaku BZPRPG CHARACTERS Syvra-Tivanu If you interact with one of my characters and I don't respond or acknowledge the interaction within a day, send me a PM.
