Build and set your scene up
This scene does not need to be all Lego blocks. You can get creative and use clay or real life elements. Just make sure to use Lego floor plates so your mini characters have a place to walk as well as other building you want to lock down.
Grab your minifigure
Take stock of all your minifigures and make sure you have all types of different figures so you can create the exact scene you need. As the stock minifigure heads are very static you want to have a few suitable heads ready to go if you’d like for your actors to be expressive. If you can’t find heads that work you could always paint some yourself.
