I like how you were able to do the lettering in such a compact way. Did you come up with that on your own or is that from a "font" you found online? The "G" is particularly creative but easily readable in the context of the word "LEAGUE".

I made it up, I didn't think to look online... And I imagine there is probably a more elegant solution but I was quite pleased with the style (even if I did cheat on the 'of').
I ran out of characters and realised it left a nice gap for a title heading, then discovered I didn't have space for the letters to all be three studs wide. And hey presto, funky font!

Cool display! This reminds me: I have two new heroes to photograph, when I have time. EDIT : To avoid a double post, I'll put my new heroes/villains here Alias: CHEMO Name: Ernie Caustic Age: 42 Allegiance: Villain Powers: n/a Gear: Heavily-armored Hazmat suit, chemical tanks, "Chem-Gun" Bio: A disgruntled pest control specialist, Ernie inhaled too many chemical fumes during his career as an exterminator and became crazed; obsessed with exterminating "the vermin of this city" a.k.a. the citizens of New Block City. CHEMO's Chem-Gun allows him to spray any number of noxious gases from a pressurized delivery system encased within his suit. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Alias: n/a Name: Carrie Burns Age: 25 Allegiance: Hero/Vigilante Powers: Pyrokinesis Gear: Fire-proof Jumpsuit and Cape Bio: A fiery redhead with a hot temper, Carrie Burns has the power to create and control fire with her mind. Feeling no need to adopt an alias or to keep her identity hidden, Carrie has long since given up the desire to remain innocuous. Carrie has a quick temper and doesn't often work with others; as her anger rises, so does the temperature of the air around her. Villains all throughout New Block City know and fear the name Carrie Burns - or, at least that's what she says. Care to argue? -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Alias: SERAPH, The White-Winged Dove Name: Lindsay Nicks Age: 31 Allegiance: Hero Powers: Genius-level intellect Gear: "S.E.R.A.P.H." flight-suit, high-altitude gear Bio: The daughter of famous pilot Buckingham Nicks, Lindsay Nicks always had a fascination with flight and the sky. Unlike her father, however, Lindsay wasn't content to let the planes do the flying. Equipped with a flight-suit she developed and dubbed S.E.R.A.P.H. (self-engaging rigid air propulsion harness), Lindsay spends her days in the skies or on the rooftops of New Block City, fighting villains wherever they strike. Also known as The White-Winged Dove and The Angel of Bricklyn, SERAPH is capable of incredible aerial maneuvers and can fly at almost supersonic speed, yet her range is limited to within the stratosphere. The wings of Lindsay's flight-suit are light and may appear thin or flimsy yet they are built from a titanium alloy and the edges are razor sharp - as are her wits. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Alias: PRISM Name: Nicolas "Tech" Thompson Age: 30 Allegiance: Hero Powers: Genius-level intellect, minor precognition Gear: PRISM armor MK.II: prismatic stealth panels and fibers, retractable blades, "ATLAS" bone-suit Bio: Born and raised in Brickhaven, Tech Thompson spent most of his youth entering his crazy inventions in science fairs and tinkering in his family's garage. At the age of fifteen, Tech's parents were killed by a mysterious villain whom witnesses claimed disappeared into the shadows. From that day onward, Tech vowed to avenge his family and bring the shadowy villain known as The VOID to justice. Outfitted with a cyber-suit he spent the next decade perfecting, Tech took on the alias PRISM, named after the prismatic panels and fibers in his suit that allow him to become transparent, blending into any surrounding. - The Mark II variant of the PRISM armor includes the "ATLAS" bone-suit underneath: a thin prosthetic armor rig that enhances the reflexes and physical capabilities of the wearer, allowing Tech to better take advantage of his minor precognition and act accordingly.

Our 'Origins' challenge has come to a close. Here are the entries: LoH Challenge 1: Origins by andhe :-), on Flickr Following on from the success (or I enjoyed it at least) of last years 'League of Heroes Advent Calendar' I'm hosting another one for 2017... League of Heroes Challenge 2: aka Advent Calendar Contest 2017 by andhe :-), on Flickr CHALLENGE: Build a figure, mini-build or micro-scale build with an original superhero theme to take part in the 24 day reveal up to Christmas Eve. eg Winter or Christmas themed characters or variants of existing LoH characters. Vehicles, buildings or other micro-scale creations set in the LoH OC universe. Each build should have a maximum of 20 parts each, and should be a mini-model in its own right, but may combine with other models. Parts need to fit into a standard LEGO Advent Calendar window, so no large plates or bricks, giant canopies, etc. HOW TO ENTER: Upload your entries by November 30th. Keep the picture 'private' but tag me so I'm able to see it. Please photograph them against a clean background with one build per photo. I will reveal one ‘winner’ per day up to Christmas Eve (24 builds in all). This challenge will run from Oct 2nd - Nov 30th 2017. Last years Advent Calendar Contest is here for inspiration flic.kr/p/QkzLKP

Just a week left for entries to the advent calendar. It's currently thin on the ground so I may just do a '12 days of christmas' like I did a couple of years ago. And maybe post something every other day in the 24 up to Christmas. That or I'll pad it with a few gun racks/bulk accessories like the official lego calendars

I'll try to rustle up an entry, Andy! Well you'd better be quick! (non-minifig would be preferable) but no worries if not. I went with the whole 24/25 in the end so I'm halfway through, with a couple of submissions from other people, but mainly me flic.kr/s/aHsm9VVFcd

I was going to do a winter version of one of the heroes on your wall, but then I couldn't find any deets on it in the LoLH Flickr group, and of course forgot about it I'll try to get one together. Gotta get into the bricks to put together the xmas exchange set anyway

For those following the ongoing exploits of the League of Heroes, I recently created a couple of comic 'covers'. My main inspiration was to take a number of other people's characters and team them up with some of my creations. An All New All Star Team-Up Adventure!!! by andhe :-), on Flickr Another Amazing All Star Team-Up Adventure!!! by andhe :-), on Flickr The build in the first one is a MOC by me, still working on it. The build in the second one is a slightly modded Detective's Office that I recently acquired... in a trade! I have plans to do more covers. Perhaps with a few more special effects rather than background builds.

These are really well done, Andy! You should do actual comics for them.

We're on our 5th bi-monthly (ish) challenge for the League of Heroes group. It's a 'create a themed gang of villains' contest. Think of all those silly villains that batman seems to come up against. flic.kr/p/26Z6MLK
