Sharing an update on my LEGO Angels Aziraphale and Crowley and their accessories from that iconic moment in history.✨✨✨
If you're interested in some details about the parts I used and the modifications I made...
CROWLEY'S HAIR
I've shared a close-up photo already, but here's a bit more of the 'work in progress':
The huge curl on top of the LEGO hairpiece #13785 seemed to be a great start for Angel!Crowley's hair, so I went with one of these pieces and basically chopped off everything except for that curl. Several layers of Milliput and spray paint turned it into Angel!Crowley. 😉
TORSOS
Both Aziraphale and Crowley got some simple custom printed original LEGO torsos. I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea about designing fabric folds in a way suitable for teeny-tiny LEGO torsos, but I did my best. 🤷
ROBES
Most of the other custom body parts were taken from several of these minifigures:
(Koruit XP-685 Liu Bang)
ARMS
Both of my angels got a pair of these arms for a closer match to their angelic robes. After removing the original print, I added stripes of golden self-adhesive vinyl foil to recreate the (different) borders on their sleeves.
'BOTTOMS'
While Aziraphale got a simple white original LEGO skirt, I used this wonderful taller custom Koruit bottom part for Crowley's robes to add some extra height (nevermind that this "skirt" part is not compatible with original LEGO torsos and the necessary modifications had me swearing quite a bit).
SCROLL
The scroll used to "crank it all up" was also designed by me and custom printed on a 2x3 LEGO tile. I love how it's just the perfect width to be held by Aziraphale!
CROWLEY'S CRANK
You might have seen Crowley's crank in some of my other LEGO Omens pics already, but I'll gladly share its 'secret' with you: it's LEGO piece #15534 in Flat Silver (after cutting off everything that doesn't look like Crowley's crank and sanding it down). It's not perfect and I might create a different crank piece in the future, but I actually love the simplicity of this solution. 😉
WINGS
The wings are still something I am not satisfied with... There simply aren't any solutions available that fit perfectly, so I'll probably keep switching between different wings for my LEGO Omens pictures.
Anyway, in the above photo Aziraphale got a slightly modified version of the relatively new LEGO wings form this minifigure:
The neck part just looked unexpectedly thick with the "regular" LEGO minifigure head sitting on top of it, so I meticulously carved the neck hole out until the head could sink all the way down inside it. Still not perfect, but definitely looking better this way!
For Crowley's wings I used a pair of BrickWarriors custom bird wings:
The shape isn't ideal, especially the rather sharp edges at the top. So I cut those off and sanded the rounded corners down to make the wings look a bit more angelic (I'll probably give Crowley's pair of black wings the same treatment).

Feel free to let me know what you think of my angels or if you have any preferences for their wings! 😊
