SilentMode Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 # You had plenty money in 1922... # Theme: Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Character: Jessica Rabbit Cost: including tools and existing materials for the minifig, around GBP 6. Additional Images: Brickshelf gallery Background Story Meet SilentMode: fresh out of the Dark Age and relative newcomer to the LEGO online community. He occasionally gets picked on by those who know not what they do, but he generally concentrates on establishing himself as a talented builder. A golden opportunity came when the annual cosplay convention, sponsored by Eurobricks, came around - but he was hesitant to take part because his costumes were never quite up to scratch. He'd been completely overlooked at a pirate-themed gathering, even though he designed and made his own pirate hat. Last Halloween, his "Terminator" getup didn't fool anyone. If he was going to go to the convention, he would have to pull something spectacular out of the bag. In the end he decided to go all out: he would recreate one of the most impactful scenes ever made. Whether his makeup would hold for long was another matter. Other bits of info The cheapest item was the card used to make the dress. The most expensive item was Fimo, used to make the hairpiece. It also resulted in the sacrifice of a head and torso. This was my first time doing a minifig head decal. I couldn't get a waterslide decal to stick so I used transfer paper - my printer wouldn't accept it so I had to stick it onto an A4 sheet. Initially I had a pink dress because I didn't have suitable red paint. I then decided to redo the dress using glitter, although the shoes are still pink. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Very nice custom SilentMode! Yeah I remember this character after watching Who framed Roger Rabbit? two weeks ago. Good job on the custom glittering gown. Good luck on you entry! Quote
The Penguin Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I think it's great! Really great! The idea is very innovative and the way you did such a complicated character is very good as well. I suppose that a non-cosplay figure of jessica may always be welcome if you decide to make her. ) Good day, ldies and gentlemen! ) Quote
SilentMode Posted October 25, 2010 Author Posted October 25, 2010 Thanks for the feedback, folks! Quote
LuxorV Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 This entry brings me back in time (though I saw the film was up again just a few weeks ago in Italy). Nice customisation, with a challenging story behind it, too. Thanks for sharing, SilentMode, and good luck for the voting. Quote
