    As per the site guidelines, I invite you to check the last post date before reviving years old topics. Thank you.
  3. Hello, rafael3d, and welcome to Eurobricks. You will notice I edited your post above to remove the email address and self promotion. You are very welcome to share your designs and projects on our forums, but, as per our Guidelines you accepted upon signing up, you are required to avoid self promotion. Thank you. Looking forwards to see more of your work in the future.
  4. As I wrote in the other topic, please do not post questions unrelated to an existing thread, and instead open a new one if none of the current ones suit your aims. Thank you.
  5. Hello, Lawdawg, and welcome to Eurobricks. Please, keep in mind that reviving a 10+ years old topic to ask a question only marginally connected to the original discussion is usually considered impolite. It would have been better for you to open a new thread for it. Now, to answer your question, you could take a look into our Western Decals Index. There are a few designs and recolours of original LEGO prints that may be similar to what you are looking for. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your project when it's finished.
  6. Hello and welcome to Eurobricks, bluecoatsoldier. All decals in this library are free for use in personal projects as long as they are not commercial, and provided the original designer gets credit where relevant. It would also be appreciated to see pictures of the finished product once you complete your project.

    Monochrome Minifigures

    Hello, awhiteportlander, and welcome to Eurobricks. Since you are new here, I think it would be useful to share some ground rules. Please, do not ask for ebay links in our threads. This section is meant for the discussion of custom figures, not as a marketplace. Thank you.

    Minifig template

    Hi Todd-Muscles, and welcome to Eurobricks. You'll find some minfig decal templates, plenty of examples by various designers and quite some useful (if somewhat dated) tutorials and other resources in our Minifig Customisation Index and Guidelines topic. Hope they will be useful for your project.

    Monochrome Minifigures

    There may have indeed been a misunderstanding. We (meaning the Eurobricks Forums staff) do allow and even enjoy discussion of various aspects of the LEGO fans and users' world, including compatible and at times bootleg items (it woudl be foolish to deny they exist!). There is a difference, though, between that and encouragement and/or support towards all of them.

    Monochrome Minifigures

    Hello, k0k0, and welcome to Eurobricks. Around here, we consider it polite to first introduce yourself, for example by creating a thread in the Hello! My name is... section, and ask this kind of tips once you've become a part of the community. Hope to see you stick around and contribute to our forums.
  20. If you have custom decals you'd like to share, please open a new topic to showcase your work. That's how we usually do when a single designer wants to share original (not requests) decals and customs. You could call it "Flaming Bricks Decals" or something like that and have a collection of your designs posted in it.
  21. Starting today, I'm posting the new Theme Decal Indexes for the MCW. They will include all of the decals posted here by various EB members in the time. The first one is the CASTLE Decals Index. This thread is meant to be a way for you users to let me and the rest of the Staff know if you had any problems using the Indexes (for example, you found broken links). Please do not post here to ask us to add your decals to the Indexes. We will periodically update them taking the decals from the normal MCW threads. Have fun and please always remember to give creadit when using those decals LuxorV

    Star Wars Custom - Kylo Ren

    Hello, Zardy12321, and welcome to Eurobricks. Please note that the topic you posted in has not been active since 2015. It is usually regarded as bad policy to post in older topics just to ask something like this, instead of contributing to the discussion. Please, keep it in mind for the future. I hope you'll enjoy your stay as a member of our community.
  23. TUTORIAL: How to print decals (using MS Word) You just fond a super-cool decal and want to use it on your LEGO minifig’s torso or other elements? This tutorial teaches you how to print custom decals using MS Word. What you need: 1. A decal you want to print (oh well, that’s quite obvious) 2. PC with MS Word 3. Printer 4. Paper (be it normal printing paper, white decal paper, clear decal paper or other) Disclaimer: this tutorial is made by a MS Word user. All other similar text editors will work well with it, as long as they support the options needed for the basic steps. This is not meant to promote MS programs in any way. Step 1: Open your Internet browser and surf to the page containing the link to the decal you want to print. In this example, we go to EB MCW and choose one of the recent decals. Step 2: Open the link/go to the decal page, and save the decal on your hard disk by right-clicking on the image and choosing ‘Save as’ from the menu. Step 3: Open a new document with MS Word. Add the image to the document by selecting ‘Insert/Image from file’. Or use the small icon on the Image toolbar. Step 4: Browse your hard disk until you find the folder where you saved the decal. Select the right file, and then click on ‘Ok’. You successfully added the image! Step 5: Bring up the ‘Image Format’ window by double clicking on the image. This is the fundamental passage: most decal makers already set the decal size to the right height and length for printing. Nonetheless, you may want to check it out before you print them. Here you can find the right values for printing various types of decals (H – height, L – length; measures in millimetres): Torso – H. 13 , L. 15.5 Face – H. 5-7 (min-max), L. depends* Triangular Shield – H. 18.5, L. 15.6 Oval shield - H. 29.1, L. 16.4 Fabuland Torso front – H. 8.5, L. 17 Fabuland Torso back – H. 16, L. 17 1x1 Tile – H. 8, L. 8 (other tiles are just multiples) Also for non-international scales users, a minifig torso dimensions are: Hight- .51 inches Lenght- .61 inches (Thanks to Macoco for these) * the L of a face decals depends on the design on it; usually, if you just resize the H, and keep the proportions, it will work good. If anybody has other info to share on this subject, please post them below and I’ll add them to the list. Step 6: Print the decal. If you want to try making a decal yourself, have a look at our Tutorials section of the Minifig Customization Index. LuxorV

    Best paints?

    For starters, you could check the EB MCW Color Matching Paint Database; it's a bit old now, but it may well include info you are interested in.
