I'm glad you liked this building challenge. Also remember, though, that it was MinifigureHQ's sponsoring that made it all possible.

Indeed, put all fulfilled decal requests designs in here. They will be added to the Theme Index they belong in, eventually. Thanks for your contributions.

Eurobricks Staff and MinifigureHQ are proud to announce the Winner of this year's very special Alien Investigators Raffle Building Challenge! Join us in the MCW forum to learn more about the Challenge and to discover the name of the winner!

This has been a very fun raffle, and I want to thank all of you for sharing with us your creativite takes on the theme of this unusual building challenge. Unfortunately, two entries did not comply with the picture size rules. Among the partakers, the winner was picked via a random number generator (namely www.random.org). As you all know, the prize is sponsored by Minifigures.com and consists of a couple of splendid custom minifigures: Agent Sculder and Agent Mully Without further ado, the Winner is farkas1014, with his entry Icy surprise: Congratulations! Please PM me your full name and mail address details to get your prize asap.

The submission phase is now closed. The winner will be announced tomorrow.

Just few hours left, Eurobrickers. Get your entries in before it's too late!

Yes, please. The rules clearly state: Thanks. Please try to deep link the image. Maybe try a different photo hosting site. There are links to some tutorials in my signature. Nice take on the theme!

Some interesting designs here. Thanks for sharing, Plokman. As for the lines' thickness, I think they look pretty good. Only, you could want to get rid of the black outer border, and change its colour to a darker hue of the decals main/background colour; i.e., use dark red for a mainly red torso. That way, even if you cut the decal so that a bit of the border is still visible, it won't be as evident. At least, that's what I used to do after a good friend game me the same advice.

Some very creative entries so far! Can't wait to see more.

Sell topics like this belong to the BSTF section. Moving now. Please feel free to create a showcase topic in the MCW to ask for feedback in the future.

Indeed, this belongs to BSTF. Moving now.

If you can share some info, try to do so in a more complete way, please. We all know lots of data can be found via Google, but: - if everyone should respond 'giyf' to every question, we'd close any and every discussion/questions' thread at the second post. We are a community and we try to help each other by sharing our knowledge; - at times, it can be too much; pointing in the right direction with somewhat detailed info, maybe adding an example, and then suggesting to search for more is indeed more useful than simply saying 'there's all sort of things on Google; try it'. I'm sure you can see my point. Thanks for your understanding, and for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Finally, someone is checking those pesky aliens' activity on EB! Keep 'em coming, people!

Where are you people? Is everybody working on astonishing and time-consuming entries? Let's see your Alien Investigators at work!

The fact is printers do not print pure white. They 'read' it as the paper colour, so do not waste ink to print it. To print in 'white', you must use a yellowish/greyish hue which is almost as pure white. Then you have to consider which decal paper you use, and which background colour you apply it to. Basically, you can have white when you use white decal paper (meaning opaque), but it may still be a bit semi-transparent enough that a darker piece colour will influence the final aspect of the part. When you use clear decal paper, you can be sure lighter hues will be strongly influenced by the part's colour and you'll have to either compensate (very difficult and not always possible), or change the paper. A solution is using white adhesive/sticker paper instead of just decal paper. That way you'll print the other colours on a white background, not see-through, and the white will remain white regardless of the part's colour. Note that it may require you to print the other colours a bit darker than they actually are because the white from the paper will lighten the final effect. You can find a discussion on Decal paper in this (quite old) topic. This is all I can say with my limited experience in printing decals. Others may have more detailed info to share.

You are right. Apparently, that very old rule survived 'till now. Fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Please, post your designs in here, if they are done upon request. It is not necessary, and would indeed be problematic, if requested decal were to be posted in lots of separate and dedicated topics. Thanks for your help and understanding.

No digital entries, please. Again, this is a fun raffle, you do not need to make an art-piece out of it. Be creative with the bricks you have!

Please keep personal conversation to the PM system. Thanks.

No size restrictions, as this is a raffle and the size/complexity of the build will not influence the random choice of the winner. In general, an 8x8 or 16x16 vignette seems more fitting than a diorama, for this kind of event. But it's up to entrants' choice, really. Yes, any figure created by using original LEGO elements and, possibly, self-made decals is fair game. No third party items means you cannot use anything produced, sold or shared by others, be it a decal, accessory or specialised part or print.
