Hinckley Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Question: Whatever happened to this guy? Answer: Quote
Shadows Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Looks great, very authentically tattered and torn! Whatever happened to this guy? He's had a long, hard life, but he's still not telling anyone where the treasure is hidden, that prize is all his... soon as he figures out a way off that damn island. He still can't figure out why the TV crew didn't help him out after his guest shot on that silly gameshow. He's also uncertain if the baby is his or not. Don't ask. Quote
Legoman31 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Nice , but I would suggest you find a pirate that originally had brown pants. Quote
Hinckley Posted February 17, 2009 Author Posted February 17, 2009 Nice , but I would suggest you find a pirate that originally had brown pants. Mud turned them brown. Quote
kill will Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Mud turned them brown. Oh, I see, but that means he's, *gasp* filthy! But the shirt decal looks very nice, like he wrestled a shark for it, the shark getting the lower half. Quote

Yes, I believe that's what happened. He must have been washing it in the ocean after spilling spaghetti on it. The shark was attracted by the spaghetti and bit the shirt. Then they wrestled for it and Steve won. Quote
LuxorV Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Very well done, Hinckley. It looks almost real, apart for the scarf, which isn't torn or dirty at all Wonder how he managed to preserve it that way LuxorV Quote
Capt. Kirk Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) Very well done Hinckley... But TLC also keeps itself busy with this way of details. Somewhere on EuroBricks there was also an comparison (sorry can't find it). Maybe it was you how did this find ? It's about this mini figure: Edited February 18, 2009 by Capt. Kirk Quote
Admiral Blockbeard Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Cpt. Kirk. I think it is more about how he has done a custom decal. It is much like the Lego version but he has changed the character. Good work by the way Mr Hinck. I see you have posted a few decals lately. Regards, Cpt. PB Quote

Scouty Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Mud turned them brown. And yet his shirt is as if it was bleached daily!? Awesome decal, by the way Quote
CommanderCody77 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 And yet his shirt is as if it was bleached daily!? Awesome decal, by the way Hmm oh yeah I think add some mud to the shirt and it'll be great Quote
Asuka Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 A very good idea and beautiful executed too! Quote
pr0visorak Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Great job! Love the before and after detail! That torso is a custom right? Quote
Hinckley Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Great job! Love the before and after detail! That torso is a custom right? Yup! I altered the official and applied it with a waterslide decal. Quote
Capt. Kirk Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Yup! I altered the official and applied it with a waterslide decal. Little off-topic... Hinckley (or someone else)... do you use MicroMark... or are there better waterslides under the sun. Thanks in advance !! Quote
Hinckley Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Little off-topic... Hinckley (or someone else)... do you use MicroMark... or are there better waterslides under the sun. Thanks in advance !! MicroMark is what I use and I have found it is much better than any other manufacturer. The white is better than others as well, but there are a lot of problems with white. I like the clear very much, but of course it depends on your printer for what you can print on it. I can't print solid inks so I stick to darker color designs on colored torsos or just use white torsos. It can be a bit of a challenge. Quote
BlueBard Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Funny creation and wonderful decal! I gave a story to this poor guy too in one of my MOCs but i was not so cruel... Quote
