You may have seen the High-Rise Lego sets that I created on twitter and many have asked me how I created this set, so I have provided a step by step guide to creating your own custom set of High-Rise Lego!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We shall begin with the three easy figures first…<\/p>\n

The High-Rise<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The High-Rise itself takes exactly 24 bricks. I selected the 2 x 4 Brick, Lego Element ID 3001, in Dark Tan to match the colour of the High-Rise.\"how-to-hr-lego-07\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You may be wondering how you remove the spots from the Dalmatian without ruining the plastic. With a cloth rub a tiny amount of Brasso metal polish over the paint you want to remove, and it will slowly wear off. Please be careful around the eyes and nose, so you don’t damage that paint.<\/p>\n

Decals and Customisation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The most and affordable and professional looking method for creating custom Lego is the use of waterslide decal paper. It may seem like a complicated procedure, but with practise it is actually quite simple. Decal paper can be purchased at many online craft stores, and you will need one sheet each of white paper and clear paper.<\/p>\n

I learned how to create decals from this excellent video tutorial:<\/p>\n
