MOC's Custom lego items

Hello all, well I just arrived here, and wish to know what do you think about my MOC creations so far only minifigs (I just stared doing them, and I am not an expert, but what I want to have are just objective comments in how to improve or anything that you want to say) skulltransform
Here's the link if you have the time and want to see them

Oh but of course, do you have MOCs? :legohat:

Nice, I love them all. X-Men was a great theme to choose

This reminds me of my own Minifg Custimization. Thats was a long time ago.

Oh thank you!.... I've been busy doing a lot of them, not only X-Men, but other themes.

What kind of customization did you do?

I was more into the castle side of thing, but I gave up, its hard to find water slide paper. :

I love X-Men I wish TLC would make a X-Men licenced theme....its probable too violent though. :

I love the decals they're so detailed. :

My favourite is probable Von Doom.

Thanks!.... oh wait, Starwars... Spiderman... aren't they a *little* violent too??? I saw during a Canada trip a MegaBlocks set with Wolverine... Fantastic Four etc... I must say that those minifigs where the worst thing I could be ever see in my life M8...

They're great minifigs Optimus Dragon. Do you use transfers or are you directly painting on the minifigs?

Thank you!!!!!!!

Most of the minifigs I do I use transfers and paint as well, you see there are parts that could only be painted say hair, legs (depending on what I am doing of course), but torsos, faces, 90% of the time are transfer what I use. It is a very interesting combination indeed that at the end makes the final rendition look good.

Awsome... How do you make a custom Minifig I never have but i would love to... where do you get all the parts etc.

You could make them? Remember the Port Adelaide decal I made for Blocksford? Same deal.

It just takes time, imagination and creativity. You have to look for the right colour parts... then decals usually is where all the work is directed, I usually do it by hand, then just scanned in order to be able to printed on decal... or transfer paper. Not difficult indeed

The claws for wolverine look like the ones that the mega bloks wolverine used.

Yes they are from Mega Blocks set indeed
I am actually working on a new ones ::

Great job on the minifigs. I especially like the Punisher

Is there a tutorial somewhere on how to make minifig decals?
I don't have any artistic ability and the only thing I need to go with my GI Joe Lego MOC's is minifigs.

Even though you say your minifigs are not for sale have you ever thought about taking commissions? Someone pays you to do the work for them. If you ever think about doing that I have a list of wants

I was thinking about starting a similar topic but since this discussion is about what I am trying to find out I thought I would raise it here.

Basically I am interested in finding out the simplest way to create my own Custom Made Decals required for any creation that I may wish to pursue.

I'm in awe of what I see of the forum and want to put some of own ideas into fruition before I give up without trying.

Anybody got any suggestions ???

Yes, sticky photo paper from Officeworks and an ink jet printer, plus use MS Paint, that's what I use.
Signs, merchandise and torso's too - it's easy once you master it !
Keep on bricking 'Free Spirit' keep on bricking !

as for other templates for mini figs and tutorial there about too just search

Thanks, guys.

It's gonna be a steep learning curve for me but well worth it once I master it and build what I have in mind !!!

Practice makes perfect, as the old saying goes.
Keep on bricking !

First lesson maximise your page space, that trans sticky stuff is $$$

About 14 bucks for 20 6"x4" photo sticker sheets.
So yeah, do a dummy run with normal paper to get your sizes just right....learnt that the hard way more than once !
Keep on bricking everyone !

Here's a great starter/tester from the above link just print, cut, and fold !
no glue no harm to mini-figs !!![code]


Credit to : Armothe for the design/upload!!

Very nice but one problem, if it's just paper....thin paper.....it will tear too easliy, though fine if your minifigs are not going to be moved.
Keep on bricking !

I'll do a dummy run before I print the labels so I can perfect them as I am a bit of a perfectionist being a typical Libran

I wasn't sugesting that paper was the go, but it's cheap to play around with while perfecting that personalized look , then go buy some good stuff and get them printed at a shop that supports the colours your printer won't create (gold , silver ect).
