Shadows Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 tin7 has been working on sculpey Disney heads, and with tremendous results. The next phase in the minifig creation process is the torso decal, which is where I come in. I'm not doing all of them, but the ones I do will appear here. Links take you to the sculpted head threads. Sample pics are full size, decals are thumbnails and clickable. J. Thaddeus Toad Mr. Mole (Moley) Mr. Rat (Ratty) Scrooge McDuck (Ducktales) The strips under the torso are meant to go around his cuffs, as shown. Mickey Mouse Donald Duck (Park and Cartoon versions) Pooh and Piglet Front and back for Pooh. Piglet's works as both front and back. Tigger Front and back for Tigger. Quote
Norrington Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Well, a suggestion- the real Mr. Toad's vest actually didn't have buttons, and his bowtie was more angular, like this: You also have to do Rat, Mole, and Angus MacBadger: Edited July 1, 2008 by Norrington Quote
Shadows Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 Well, a suggestion- the real Mr. Toad's vest actually didn't have buttons, and his bowtie was more angular I can do that, though I really like the first style more. What was that from, a painting in Toad Hall? That's what I want to see. Toad Hall. You also have to do Rat, Mole, and Angus MacBadger If he's really interested in doing the heads, I'll do them. That scene keeps making me wish for Scrooge McDuck... Quote

I don't know, actually, for all I know it could be tucked into one of the many dark corners of Disneyland's Toad Hall. I found it on a site detailing "Mr. Toad's Enchanted Evening" back in 1999.

I added that version to the first post with a more open version of the coat and less detail, but it's accurate to that shot now. Quote
tin7_creations Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I shall make Scrooge McDuck, all I need is the mold for the duck head, then I can make Donald, Daisy, Scrooge... and even Darkwing Duck. I really appreciate all the work that ImperialShadow is doing, all the decals looks so nice. I also appreciate the offer of making decals for future heads, much thanks. I made a few decals of my own for some of the human characters, they aren't as good as the ones made by ImperialShadow, but I'll post them here anyway. Aladdin: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tin7/2626631223/ (that little patch on the side is going to go on his left leg) Genie: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tin7/2626631249/ (ignore the head decal, I'm going to make a sculpey helmet for it) Ariel: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tin7/2626631263/ (edited from a Princess Leia slave torso decal) Prince Eric: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tin7/2627449596/ (can't have Ariel without her prince) Tarzan: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tin7/2626631297/ (edited from a decal found on this site) Quote
Shadows Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 I shall make Scrooge McDuck, all I need is the mold for the duck head, then I can make Donald, Daisy, Scrooge... and even Darkwing Duck. Scrooge and Donald may have different heads, but I think Daisy, Huey, Dewey, and Louie all match (though size would differ). I really appreciate all the work that ImperialShadow is doing, all the decals looks so nice. I also appreciate the offer of making decals for future heads, much thanks. No problem. I've added Moley to the first post. I made a few decals of my own for some of the human characters, they aren't as good as the ones made by ImperialShadow, but I'll post them here anyway. No, they're very good (though that Tarzan chest looks like it's staring at me... CREEPY!). It's a shame you aren't going with the Genie face that way, it's actually incredibly good. I might strip out the blue and see about using it as a normal face for something, if you don't mind. Only thing to watch out for is colour matching. Try to remember that we have to give up a bit of accuracy to the original subject in favour of matching the official LEGO parts you plan to attach your decals to. I also assume that matching anything to painted Sculpey will be an issue, but that's something I don't know about. If you have any questions about colours and their official LEGO counterparts, you might refer to my custom colour chart, just remember, everything prints differently, so it can be a case of trial and error to get it right.

Lt. Col. Thok Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Moley moley mole!! That's my favourite Disney charadcter! nice decals. Quote
Norrington Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Well, we've got Rat & Toad, I'd say we need Ratty! All your decals are amazing, by the way. Quote
Shadows Posted July 2, 2008 Author Posted July 2, 2008 Well, we've got Mole & Toad, I'd say we need Ratty! Added to the first post. I don't like the belt much, but it's pretty much accurate. I may add Winky. We can do him in all minifig form, at least. I'd add the judge but that wig... All your decals are amazing, by the way. Oh, thanks. Quote
