As someone who also grew up captivated by pictures and ads of these Lego sets, this is a really fun watch. You absolutely nailed the aesthetic here and I look forward to seeing you do more with this. Cheers!
Thanks Skull! Yeah I never owned any of these sets but I feel like I was surrounded by the images of these amazing sets in catalogs and stuff growing up, they made an impression on me!
This was always my favorite lego space set when I was little. Seeing the orange chainsaw in the first frame of the video really brought me back. Can't wait for more!
I never had the 2000s era legos, I was in high school then and didn't want to play with legos anymore (how wrong I was) and had the 90s ice planet and whatever they call the neon green/black/grey/red guys. They were probably my favorite series because of how striking the colors were. Pissed at myself for selling off all my legos when I got older.
@@DanaHowl Please continue, I would adore to see your interpretation of these sets, honestly would be neat if you expanded this to making your own interpretation of other Lego Space factions if not other Lego themes in general. Thank you for the amazing content!
Old Lego kits are actually a super underrated source of inspiration for minis. My mind is sending me to my parents' attic to dig out my old bricks. Inspired work Dana.
This was a powerful hit of nostalgia for me. I have so many great memories of playing with my Ice Planet Lego outside in the snow, imagining my backyard a hostile alien moon. You captured the way those little explorers always looked in my imagination, and I'd love to see more Ice Planet builds from you. If you wanted a break, I also always had a soft spot for the Aquazone line!
You know you are a veteran model painter when you knock over a pot and just use the table as a big dry palette. 😂 But seriously, as somebody whose first exposure to Lego was through 90s Space and Castle Ninja, this hits so hard and so well. The theme was perfectly visualized and flawlessly executed. Fantastic job.
This is such a fun idea! I had some of the smaller ice planet kits. My mom would construct ice caves and playsets for me out of hot glue and glitter since the larger kits were so expensive, and she would integrate some white Lego bricks into the bases so I could firmly put figures on them. She even made an ice lake by chopping up some clear and light blue hot glue sticks (they came in all sorts of colours at the time) and cooking them in a pan until they congealled into a "lake," and used a milk cap lid as a guide to make a hole in the ice for ice fishing. I spent so many hours playing with the playsets Mom made and my little figures. xD
I remember my mum doing something similar for me. I went into GW to get a LOTR starter set but couldn't really play it...Christmas rolls around and I get this big box, full of crafting supplies, cheap glues and paints, and a printed set of instructions, like the miniature instructions to build a bit of helm's deep... At the bottom of the box was her old copy of LOTR and the Hobbit, and that was kinda the first time I really got into fantasy, and later D&D.
These are so awesome! I had a bunch of the ice planet sets as a kid and they were some of my favorites. I'd love to see their vehicles done! Some knights, wizards, and dragons based on the old castle sets would also rule. 3d printing is probably the easiest source of chainsaws if they don't need to be plastic.
Hi! I enjoyed very much seeing you doing something different and I think they came out just great! Being both a vintage LEGO and a Dana fan, I totally encourage you to do more of this! Congrats, great job as always.
As someone who had a bunch of (and still has thankfully) the Ice Planet range, it's great to see these recreated. Gotta love a bit of neon orange. Thought of using this scheme for some leagues of voltan eventually. These look great!
Fantastic paint job and such a great idea for a video series cause yeah the prices for older Lego sets are insane lol. Might have to think about using old Lego set colors schemes or mini armies or small squads, Rock Raiders would look rad as all hell.
I also am a huge fan of retro lego sets, i love the mtrons and all the magnets. I cannot express how much i love this idea! the classic ice planet visor is my all time favorite lego visor element!
As a huge fan of Stargrave and those kits, I love what you did with them! I agree that they are very “wargamer Lego” and with how many come in each box, they’re so fun to play around and experiment with. As for Lego theme ideas, I always remember the rock raiders with all their cool vehicles and glowy green crystals.
I can’t believe how much these Lego kits are now. I had every one of those kits as a 90s kid, and I took them for granted. Lol I have random bits left but the ice planet Lego kits were also my fav. And the deep sea kits as well.
The ice planet, and magnet dude legos were so cool, with their dayglow plastic pieces. Vividly remember salivating over those in magazine ads as a kid. Sweet video!
The orange in this is one of my favorite Lego memories. My brother I believe still has a ton of these sets! Great work please make more space Lego spin-offs.
I can't believe this series is going to actually happen! I own EVERY set of Ice Planet 2002, except for the huge starship. I played with them every day with a friend of mine for years. We used to pile books and whatever object we could find on the table and then cover them up with white handkerchiefs to create the snowy landscape. Exploring alien caves, battling with Blacktrons, face alien invasions, you name it. I could go on for hours. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
If you want to simplify the buildtime, the Frostgrave kits are mostly done up in snow parkas, and the 40k Scion kits come with tanks for flamers that are easy to convert. Northstar Minis kits are some of the best things to hit the market, embodying the kitbash spirit that the monopose models most 40k and Star Wars kits don't. The generic bodies leave a lot of room to add on bits, and also mean it's a lot easier to fit greenstuff in.
Kitbashing with Stargrave figures is incredible fun, you can make brilliant chaos cultists if you mix with Frostgrave Cultists and Barbarians. There is recently a female centered Crew 2 and Mercenaries 2 box, excellent for slighter figures. The toughest thing to match between North Star Miniatures kits tends to be the shoulder connections - Frostgrave Crewmen have huge puffy shirts that have big connections to body, smaller arms leave big gaps. Overall a great line that can create excellent neo-feudal and Raypunk minis easily. Love the colour choices, everything came together really nicely and dramatically!
This is one of the coolest miniature videos I've seen on here! When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought they were more of really impressive custom Lego figures, but when I checked it out, they were much more amazing than I had thought!! Hope to see more of these videos, you absolutely nailed the aesthetic with these ones!
For many more chainsaw kit-bash bits, I would definitely use a chainsword bit to make a reusable mold with Green Stuff World's "Blue Stuff"or Hinodewashi's "Oyumaru" (a reusable thermoplastic). Then mass produce that same bit by filling molds with Milliput/Green Stuff/Grey Stuff/ or any other 2 part epoxy putty you've got on hand. Making and filling several 2-part molds would make it a faster production process. A number of how-to videos, putty comparisons, and mold material reviews are searchable on RUclips for anyone interested.
This was my favorite Lego line as a kid! I would carefully study every detail in Lego’s catalog, and my favorite Xmas present one year was their rover with the secret analyzer (aka the red and blue lenses that would allow you to see only part of a jumbled red-blue-black picture. Lego magazine encouraged you to scan their pages to reveal ‘secrets’ too) I’d love to see a votann vehicle converted into an ice rover
stupendous. Taking one medium (modern minis) and using them to emulate another medium (2000s lego) is a really fun artistic exercise. Is it identical? No, it couldn't possibly be, but it is obvious what the inspiration is, and I think things like this are one of my favorite artistic enterprises (among many others).
Oh man, I had some of these sets and had a friend who had all of them growing up. We spent hours and hours making intricate forts and having battles between the different factions. Always sad none of my Lego survived the years. Models look great! Well done as always, Dana Howl!
I had the Rocket truck when I was a kid back in the 90's. It was the only LEGO set that i keeped together for so long till i finally took it apart to use the parts for other things. Wish i never did but i still have some of the pieces with the few LEGO builds i still have today
This is so neat! I ordered my first Ice Planet set today, one of the smaller ones. Planning on making a few MOCS and maybe having the astronauts from the new city space line help them mine some stuff. Great video, subbed! Your voice is genuinely so calming and easy to listen to.
My brother had the ice planet base it was so cool. We had those neon chainsaws knocking around our lego box for years after. It'd be cool to see one or two of these guys with the classic lego bright yellow skin too
That was my childhood! I think my parents still have all of those Ice Planet sets in their attic - it was the only theme that I managed to collect pretty much everything from - at this point, they're probably waiting for my niece to be old enough to inherit them. :)
The timing on this is so bizarre. I was literally just looking through my old Lego collection yesterday and was excited when I found these guys as I had forgotten all about them. I had also forgotten about the tribal warrior sets, those could be a fun one for minis as well!
I had forgotten that amazing lego kit. I remember my big brother getting the huge modular mothership kit aswell and it was so cool. Nice vid, liked the nostalgia
This was truly awesome to see how everything came together, and I loved how you explained how you assembled the minis. Keep up the good work, I really look forward to seeing more!
Dana, this is incredible!! As a long time LEGO fan with nostalgia for these retro sets I never even got to play with and a recebt miniature hobist... This video seemed made for me! I loved it so much! You're one of the most creative and amazing miniature painters out there and I want more!! Give us more lego themes, give us more ice planet, GIVE US MORE!! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg I love this, please do more! I have something of an obsession with remaking Warhammer Figures in Lego/Fake Lego Pieces, but have never seen someone attempt the inverse. Please give more, this makes the conversion happy parts of me very excited
I'd definitely love to see more Lego color schemes. Ice Planet is so much fun with all the fluorescent orange. I think your figures really capture the spirit of the kits. They look so fun!
This was a lot of fun definitely continuing this I hope you make this a series of sorts, where you tackle your favorite themed lego sets like the lego Rock Grinders/ Power Miners sets or the secret agent sets. So many cool sets I think this as a whole would be great :)
While I never had any Ice Planet sets as a kid, I love seeing how they translated to miniature form! I have painted a few miniatures for D&D, and I've been thinking about trying my hand at army painting, and now I think I'd like to try doing something similar with the Rock Raiders theme. It was one of my favorite PC games as a kid.
I LOVE THIS! If you wanted to add some cool matching vehicles, it seems like the Leagues of Votann sets have great fodder for the styles of these Ice Planet heroes. Just a thought. The green stuff fur sculpting is pure brilliance. I'm going to try that out. Thanks for the great work and techniques!
Such a fun idea and a great Lego theme to choose! I kitbashed some AoS Forrestmen using Freeguild crossbowmen and Cawdor gang members. Then I threw on all those bright Lego colours!
oh that is cool. the idea of using lego concepts for different art forms is something i encountered before in the form of fanart and comics, but i can't say i ever considered the possibility of lego based models like this. what a fun project
You can get these Lego Ice Planet sets for quite reasonable prices on Ebay and lego shops in Germany (The small sets for ~5€, the middle sized sets for ~30€-50€ and the large ones for ~80€-110€. Sometimes you can find them cheaper. But the cheapest way to get these sets is by buying kg-lego from bulk boxes in the used lego shops. It's regularily for ~15€-20€/kg and you often find pieces of your favorite space fraction or pieces that fit to your fraction. I have collected masses of pieces and figures for my favorite lego space theme UFO this way.
More!!!!! Ever since I first saw the LoV image that was going around Reddit with all the old space styles, I’ve wanted to see stuff like this. Ice planet being my fave too!
Playing a game of kill team against these as the Valhalla Ice Warriors would be so sick! I can't wait to see a version of one of the Lego space ships!!!
These are easily one of my favorite kits in Lego. Great work with the conversions! As for the chainsaws, got a lot of them in an old khorne space marines kit.
Really original concept! I've done using Lego minifigs as gaming miniatures before, but I've not seen anyone go the other direction like this. I am totally here for it.
This is AMAZING and took me back to the little booklets in each Lego set that would advertise all their other lines, I spent so many hours pouring over those wanting to collect them all. Excited to see what other retro themes you tackle!
loving this crossover kitbash project. definitely want to see more. caught my attention with this as I loved legos as a kid.... still have all of mine in a box in the closet dont tell anyone. The space stuff was my jam.
As someone who also grew up captivated by pictures and ads of these Lego sets, this is a really fun watch. You absolutely nailed the aesthetic here and I look forward to seeing you do more with this. Cheers!

Whoa the color palette from the Lego kits translates beautifully onto minis. This is inspiring me to lift colors off of other old toys. Thanks!
(waves "normalize painting minis in bright colours with minimal weathering" placard)
this makes me unreasonably happy, outstanding idea and conversions!!
A hobbyist has fallen into the pale sand in Howl City!
...HEY!!

3d printing is probably the easiest source of chainsaws if they don't need to be plastic.
These look great. What a fantastic idea! Iconic line of legos from my childhood. I played pretend with these sets for many hours 🤍
I love this concept. Lego Space was my favourite theme when I was a kid, I'd love to see more of your interpretations of it.
This is why I'm 3d printing old Bionicle parts to paint and then rebuild the sets I missed out on. I'm living my childhood dream!
Ice Planet were some of my favorite sets. Love it!
Please do more stuff like this. I didn't know how much I needed this content in my life until I clicked on this video.
Man I had so many of the ice planet Legos! They had 3d tech on some pieces to show fossils. Man those were good times
Hi! I enjoyed very much seeing you doing something different and I think they came out just great! Being both a vintage LEGO and a Dana fan, I totally encourage you to do more of this!
Congrats, great job as always.

Bionicle Necrons would be awesome.
Ice Planet was one of my favorites, and probably the last Lego set I invested in. Absolutely blown away by these. Just SO cool!
Yusss Ice Planet!! Glad to see my recent interest in miniature painting overlapped with my obsession with Lego.
Fantastic paint job and such a great idea for a video series cause yeah the prices for older Lego sets are insane lol. Might have to think about using old Lego set colors schemes or mini armies or small squads, Rock Raiders would look rad as all hell.

Major nostalgia with the Ice Planet LEGOs - Never got it as a child, but its awesome that we can continue the legacy in our own way :)
The ice planet, and magnet dude legos were so cool, with their dayglow plastic pieces. Vividly remember salivating over those in magazine ads as a kid. Sweet video!
I like how these cane out. As a fan of ice planet I think you did a good job representing them.

Ice Planet is a top-tier LEGO theme in terms of color palette especially, so this was a great choice!
The nostalgia hits so hard I almost cried! Definitely going to make a riff on this myself!
Ice planet 2002 is my favourite lego theme i have most of their sets. This is such an awesome surprise of a video!

There’s a lot of great Lego set color schemes that hobbyists could take inspiration from.
SO MANY! I hope to do more in the future!
This is one of the coolest miniature videos I've seen on here!

I hadn't thought about these guys in YEARS. Such a trip down memory lane, with those chainsaws.
I find the idea of saving money on expensive Lego by using expensive miniatures pretty hilarious. Fun Video!

I’d love to see a votann vehicle converted into an ice rover
This video hit hard for me. My grandma used to buy me lego all the time. Brought so many great memories. 💕
I love your creativity. Used to look at the Lego books for hours. Very nostalgic, and you hit the nail on the head with this one.
Ooooof. Straight in the nostalgia. I had the missile truck, great sets. Brilliantly captured
The colour scheme is the tops! love the yellow to make the orange look glowy!
stupendous. Taking one medium (modern minis) and using them to emulate another medium (2000s lego) is a really fun artistic exercise. Is it identical?

i'd love to see more vids like this with lego sets it's cool to see how the style gets adapted from one to the other
This is so neat! I ordered my first Ice Planet set today, one of the smaller ones. Planning on making a few MOCS and maybe having the astronauts from the new city space line help them mine some stuff. Great video, subbed! Your voice is genuinely so calming and easy to listen to.
Very cool idea, I love the Stargrave kits for their versatility, and now I'm thinking of retro Lego space themes I could try to emulate!
I hadn’t heard of Lego ice planet until this video, but I love ice themed paint jobs. I’m definitely gonna have to go out and get some of these paints
These are amazing, im so jealous of your modelling skils, and im glad more people are shedding light on ice planet and its unique aesthetic
My brother had the ice planet base it was so cool. We had those neon chainsaws knocking around our lego box for years after. It'd be cool to see one or two of these guys with the classic lego bright yellow skin too
The Lego Space sets remain some of my favourite memories- who knew magnets could be so cool?
Those are so, so, so cool. I love it. Ice Planet was my favorite along with Blacktron! Such a cool idea and you nailed it.
That new gw Jackals kit has chainsaws and two cylinder backpacks. These lego conversions are awesome!
That was my childhood! I think my parents still have all of those Ice Planet sets in their attic - it was the only theme that I managed to collect pretty much everything from - at this point, they're probably waiting for my niece to be old enough to inherit them. :)
The timing on this is so bizarre. I was literally just looking through my old Lego collection yesterday and was excited when I found these guys as I had forgotten all about them. I had also forgotten about the tribal warrior sets, those could be a fun one for minis as well!
This is such an awesome idea. I grew up with Ice Planet, Blacktron and Space Police. Really looking forward to seeing the ship builds you mentioned
Thanks for continuing to inspire us. I love kitbashing and love that you are doing this. Please continue.
Holy crap! Hell yeah! I wish to have these sets again. Great thumbnail, video, models, paint job and overall effort!
This is the perfect Venn diagram overlap for me
I had forgotten that amazing lego kit. I remember my big brother getting the huge modular mothership kit aswell and it was so cool. Nice vid, liked the nostalgia
This was truly awesome to see how everything came together, and I loved how you explained how you assembled the minis. Keep up the good work, I really look forward to seeing more!
Dana, this is incredible!! As a long time LEGO fan with nostalgia for these retro sets I never even got to play with and a recebt miniature hobist... This video seemed made for me!
I loved it so much! You're one of the most creative and amazing miniature painters out there and I want more!! Give us more lego themes, give us more ice planet, GIVE US MORE!! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg I love this, please do more! I have something of an obsession with remaking Warhammer Figures in Lego/Fake Lego Pieces, but have never seen someone attempt the inverse. Please give more, this makes the conversion happy parts of me very excited
I had the car from that Lego set. This was nice. A small dose of nostalgia just before bed.
I'd definitely love to see more Lego color schemes. Ice Planet is so much fun with all the fluorescent orange. I think your figures really capture the spirit of the kits. They look so fun!
So clever. Thank you for showing off from our of my favorite Space themes!
This was a lot of fun definitely continuing this I hope you make this a series of sorts, where you tackle your favorite themed lego sets like the lego Rock Grinders/ Power Miners sets or the secret agent sets. So many cool sets I think this as a whole would be great :)
Everyone knows the transparent orange chainsaw is the GREATEST LEGO weapon ever!
Futuron through UFO is some of my favorite LEGO. This is amazing.
This is by far my favorite lego space theme. Well done.
I love all the vintage lego commercials!
While I never had any Ice Planet sets as a kid, I love seeing how they translated to miniature form! I have painted a few miniatures for D&D, and I've been thinking about trying my hand at army painting, and now I think I'd like to try doing something similar with the Rock Raiders theme.

I still have some of my 90s ice planet Legos so this is such an intersection of joy
I LOVE THIS! If you wanted to add some cool matching vehicles, it seems like the Leagues of Votann sets have great fodder for the styles of these Ice Planet heroes. Just a thought. The green stuff fur sculpting is pure brilliance. I'm going to try that out. Thanks for the great work and techniques!

That's the perfect crew for Frost Grave (in Space)
I loved these as a kid.. can't wait to see how you do the massive ship!
Playing a game of kill team against these as the Valhalla Ice Warriors would be so sick! I can't wait to see a version of one of the Lego space ships!!!

Truth in Thumbnail, I knew what you were up to from the one image. I love these kind of inspired kitbashes. Very well done!
This is AMAZING and took me back to the little booklets in each Lego set that would advertise all their other lines, I spent so many hours pouring over those wanting to collect them all.
Excited to see what other retro themes you tackle!
loving this crossover kitbash project. definitely want to see more. caught my attention with this as I loved legos as a kid.... still have all of mine in a box in the closet dont tell anyone. The space stuff was my jam.
Amazing idea, looking forward to seeing the vehicles and other lego builds in miniature form
Really looking forward to seeing more of these folks Dana. Love them!
Woooa, my favourite set when I was a child. What an amazing choice. Thanks Dana for this blast from the past 😊
Brilliant I love how you used a lego theme as color inspiration
great kitbash! i love taking so much inspiration from something outside the miniatures space!
In my humble opinion, you've gotta show some love to the classic blue astronaut. Love these models!
