Isaac and I got a very unique opportunity through InnovaLUG, to build a series of Nutcrackers based off of the promotional Nutcracker set to aid in The LEGO Group’s advertising of the promotion. You can see that video on their Facebook page here. They needed 18 unique outfits for Nutcrackers built within a few weeks, and we jumped at the chance to do some building for the LEGO group.
This pirate captain was the first nutcracker I made, and I’m still very happy with how he turned out. I didn’t base him specifically off of any one minifigure, but a few of the various pirates LEGO has released over the years did inspire a few sections, such as his overcoat.
