The Lego Kit

I’ve given the official twitter page for The Lego Kit a brand new design to match the blog

It’s not much of an update but i’ve re made the vials used in the Runescape Herblore skill, started work on helmets and re-arranged some of the Lego headgear and hairpieces.

Left: Old, Right: New

• New Treasure Trail armour
• New Axes
• Armour Plate bodies now use the 3.0 style of shading

Remember to check the to-do list, there’s plenty of things that need to be added.

Old and new changes

• Torag’s hammers line cleaned up
• Fixed some hands that had one pixel misaligned
• Added all 24 Skill capes with hoods and optional trim
• Banner removed

I will add the quest cape in the next update

Skill capes used to be in the kit but were removed, I’ve got back to working on them now. Here’s what I’ve done so far.

In order: Generic colouring, Thieving Cape, Equiped Thieving Cape

It’s my first Youtube video for The Lego Kit, I wasn’t sure what music to place and the quality could have been better.  Please do subscribe to the official channel for alerts on new videos.

It’s been a couple of months since the last update and I’ve added a load of updates focused on the new shading style and improved overall design.

Guild Wars and Star Wars expansion packs will be added later to the main kit.

The updated To-do list and the first Youtube videos will be added later.

Now the holiday is over, I will continue to work on the kit. Over the holiday I have been considering a new template for the kit, it’s been incredibly hard to do so.  Instead of an all new Lego template, This stage includes improved shading and detail of mini figures (Style 3.0).

To celebrate the upcoming re-release of The Lego Kit the site has a brand new Favicon which resembles the head of a Lego Minifigure. As well as that The Lego Kit’s Blog Twitter account has a new favicon.

If you cannot see the new favicon, please refresh your browser.

Since the beginning, The Lego Kit’s shading detail has come a long way, and as I work more and more on the kit, the more I realise the shading quality has improved over time. I find it hard to believe that I was proud of something so crudely designed to start. Read more…
