Praiter Yed Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) I enjoy a good Western and the 'Spaghetti' ones are my favourites, so for the competition I have chosen to present my interpretation of the the final scene of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly... Here's a closer look at Tuco (The Ugly)... The final resting place of an ancient bounty hunter, Bubba Fett... I also did a custom figure of Clint Eastwood's character but decided not to use him in the end. He can be found in my flickr. EDIT: Updated 1st pic Edited August 24, 2011 by Praiter Yed Quote
Khorne Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Instantly recognisable scene from one of my favourite movies! This scene has been done before (I think), but from what I can recall from it, I think yours is better. The tree looks really well and the figure is just perfect! I take it that the torso is a custom decal? I can't seem to recognize it . I hope you'll do well in the contest ! *EDIT* I just looked at your Blondie minifig and I must say I'm impressed. The deccal is really detailed. What software are you using for making these? Illustrator? Edited August 22, 2011 by Khorne Quote

Thanks Khorne , The good, the bad and the ugly is one of my favourite westerns too (my favourite is 'For a few dollars more'). Yes, I designed the decals in Illustrator - I tried to emulate Lego's style as best I could, in particular the new, more detailed style they're doing for Star Wars figs. I'm really pleased with how they came out, I'm still pretty new at using water-slide decals and have had some poor results but everything seemed to go in my favour this time . Quote
Stardusty Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Wow, very nice! Is that decal applied as sticker, or toi the torso (as a print). If it's the second one, please explain how (I'm planning to make my custom fig too, and this could be usefull). You can explain it on PM if you want to. (Pleeeeeeeeease! ) Quote

The decal is applied using a special ink-jet printable waterslide decal paper. There's lots of info on it and tutorials in the Minifig Customisation Workshop forum. Here is a link to the index of tutorials (you need to scroll down to part 2 of the index) and here's a direct link to the decal application tutorial. I admit I didn't follow these guides exactly and I'll happily PM you with details of what I used etc. (I can't do that right now though because I'm at work and shouldn't even be looking at EB at the moment .

Ratshot Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I knew what movie scene this was from the minute I saw it. You really hit the nail with the hammer on this one. Good luck in the contest! Quote
Dark_Alamez Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Oh man.. your model is very similar with one part of my entry, but for categ 2 (I'm waiting for some lego parts to finish my model. So i haven't shared it yet) Soon you will check it. So I don't know what to say... I like it as well as my moc.. Quote

Good luck in the contest! Thanks Ratshot. Glad you recognised it - I kind of wondered how popular these movies are these days and if many people would know it. Oh man.. your model is very similar with one part of my entry, but for categ 2 (I'm waiting for some lego parts to finish my model. So i haven't shared it yet) Soon you will check it. So I don't know what to say... I like it as well as my moc.. I look forward to seeing your entry Dark_Alamez and comparing bricks. Maybe we could be arrogant and say 'great minds think alike' . Quote

Nightshroud99 Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Oh my goodness that's amazing! You captured that scene perfectly Quote
Praiter Yed Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Oh my goodness that's amazing! You captured that scene perfectly Thank you for that very nice comment Nightshroud99 I did take some liberties with the position / style of grave markings and how close they are to the courtyard area but this was purely to fit in the 16x16 area.

Praiter Yed Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 Really well done. Thanks BMW. Quote
MaceWindu Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Very great work! The grave is looking exiting! Quote
MarcoB Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 I love that film, Clint rules and your creation is just super! Quote
