raminator Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) Hi everyone, I want to show you my first Minifig Customization. I always liked the black falcons the most when i was young. and i thought they were knights of my hometown. :P so i thought it might be a good idea to make those "Tremonian" Knights. comments are very welcome. the guy to the left is my "sandbox". i try custom headgear and amor on him. Update 2011-12-12: Tremonia Torso1, Torso2, Torso3 Black Falcons Blue (Tremonia) Torso4, Torso5, Torso6, Torso7, Torso8, Torso9 Black Falcons Yellow (Tremonia) Torso10, Torso11, Torso12, Torso13, Torso14, Torso15 Westfalia Torso16, Torso17 Edited December 12, 2011 by raminator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego_Hero Posted November 27, 2011 Looks great. I especially like the guy next to the crossbow guy. Now where are you going to post your decals? I'd like to try that torso if that's okay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raminator Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) had some more fun with sculpy. some touchups are missing. http://home.arcor.de/r.hebestreit/LEGO/fotos/cust_01.jpg Edited December 6, 2011 by raminator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andonii Posted November 29, 2011 Looks good. The images are a bit grainy though. You might consider getting a better camera because you can't see the colours as well as they could be, but the knights look really cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raminator Posted November 29, 2011 thank you. =) the problem is that i use my mobile for taking pictures. another thing is that my printer´s color is nearly empty, so everything looks less colourful compared to the pngs. will post some updates when i have boughed new cartridge for my printer (this time with camera and not with mobile :P) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raminator Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) here´s a little update with revamped stickers. i scraped the custom made stuff coz it lagged quality. and here´s a pic of 2 side-projects i will work on in the future. "dark knights" and some sort of elven army. comments are welcome Edited December 4, 2011 by raminator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raminator Posted December 4, 2011 here are the newer decals. 2 of the torsos got some belts. the shields have that noise-effect removed now. and here are other decals i´m working on. the Elven Shield is based of this one made by ED-209. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wardancer Posted December 4, 2011 These look very real because they use the German Bundesadler as logo. I especially like the big ovoid shield with the partial eagle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raminator Posted December 4, 2011 actually it´s the Coat of arms of Dortmund. compare Bundesadler to Dortmunder Adler both are eagles but i prefer the one of Dortmund :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raminator Posted December 6, 2011 Inspired by frogstudio´s Black Falcons 2012 i´ve tried to make my own version of the Black Falcons basing on my previous work. I´ve made 2 sets (dark blue and yellow) for both Torsos and 3 sets of shields (oval, round, triangular each in yellow and dark blue). would be nice to get some comments and maybe some tips how i can make them look better or what kind of details are missing.

TLOR FETT Posted December 6, 2011 They look great, I can't give really much tips because I am a brand newb to the trade but question. are they clear coated when you took that picture because they look a little matte/ not shiny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raminator Posted December 6, 2011 the stickers i use are matte. i have some puzzle-glue at home that makes it look more shiny. but since i´m pretty new to this stuff i don´t want to use that glue until i´m pleased with my decals. thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted December 10, 2011 here are the newer decals. 2 of the torsos got some belts. the shields have that noise-effect removed now. and here are other decals i´m working on. the Elven Shield is based of this one made by ED-209. Stunning decals! This picture looks like a blue ray top quality screenshot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gareth Posted December 10, 2011 Nice these are good customs, I like the eagle it makes them look a lot more authentic in my opinion and the colour scheme goes well too. It's always good living in Europe because you can get ideas off your local towns and history, keep up the good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
