SandMirror38 Posted September 26, 2013 Hey everybody, As some of you will know I am in the brisk of madly creating LEGO Tintin MOC's and so forth, so my question is how would I make tintin's iconic hair? http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSTTJksAKSEl5g_P0Ev4MEESBstMqsLBmwL-2Ix86Z395BJCau2ZA Obviously I will need to customise a lego hair piece, I'm thinking this piece... http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=62810 In orange, though I will need to create the quiff of hair. I call for help from the amazing customisers or Eurobricks! Kind Regards, Sand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuxorV Posted September 26, 2013 You can find useful tools and tutorials in the MCW Index, especially this one on how to make custom pieces or modify official parts with Sculpey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobskink Posted September 26, 2013 I would use a different hairpiece if you want to do the Tintin from the comics. Maybe a regular male hairpiece. To attach and make custom parts I use milliput, or green stuff, you can find it in model shops, or Games Workshop. The trick will be to make it smoth over on the hairpiece. What I do is, put some superglue were the two parts join, useing the supeglue as a sculpting matherial. When it's dry, smoothen it out with sandpaper. Since this is your first try, try to make several at the same time ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would that work well? Whilst I provided a picture from the comics I do want to him to have kind-of messy hair-why I choose the piece in the link- but maybe I could add that on?
