Richard Himber invented many quality magic props. He was also an orchestra leader too.
Surely not even the foolish dandy Himber would dare to sit in the Chair of Ultimate Power unsupervised? [Built for my IronBuilder round with Guy. We have to use the tan arch pieces in each creation.]
Last weekend at the Emerald City Comic Con, the Seattle based ArchLUG LEGO builder club put together an amazing display of scenes and architecture from the pages of Mouse Guard. The display was populated by minifig LEGO with Mouse Guard heads created by Guy Himber of Crazy Bricks. To the left you can see the group (minus a few who couldn't attend) and I at the display, and below are the photos I grabbed with buildings and scenes from Fall, Winter, Black Axe, and Legends of the Guard.

As promised, I am posting the Steampunk Minifig pages from the awesome STEAMPUNK EDITION of BrickJournal 16. I will attempt to credit as much of the custom parts and gear as possible! Feel free to help me with any items I missed or miscredited! : ) ================================= Steampunk Minfig Essentials! by Guy Himber ( [email protected] ) with help from Sodagoat Photography by : Christine Marie Photography We love minifig accessories. WE LOVE THEM! Be they utensils, weapons or costumes we can't get enough. In recent years, the nice folks at LEGO have realized the enormous appetite we have for custom minifig items ( just look at the success of LEGO's Collectible Minfigures series ). Do a quick search at Bricklink and there are easily over a 1,000 different official parts identified that you might add to your collection. But it's still NOT ENOUGH! As the 4th largest toy maker in the world, LEGO is a huge company with a huge overhead . Large companies can't take too many risks when they create new parts for the toy market. The costs to design, prototype, license and manufacture a new part need to be recouped many times over to justify releasing a new minifig item. This doesn't allow our favorite toy company much room for risk. Enter the faithful businesses and hobbyists who have come to our rescue. A small designer/producer can be adventurous. They can have a specialized stock of just a few items or create a high risk prototype that might only appeal to a few hundred collectors. As a result, there is some amazing custom and specialized gear that is waiting for your discovery! This article features items from the many dedicated suppliers of custom eauipment for your minifig characters. The focus is on Victorian and steampunk inspired designs. Some of the pictures are complete ideas while others are just suggestions to get your creative juices flowing. Rather than specify each custom part, I leave it to you, the reader, to have some fun and do some detective work. Visit these great vendors!
