Hi everyone!

These are the newest additions to my Harry Potter minifigure collection! This time I customized members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Anyways, here's the new stuff for November 12, 2010.

Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody (Brendan Gleeson)

Nothing special on this fig. I added a trench coat and switched the leg positions.

Nymphadora Tonks (Natalia Tena)

The torso design for Tonks was taken straight from the movie, and her hair was painted dark pink.

Kingsley Shacklebolt (George Harris)

Once again based entirely off the movie. The hat is hand made from Sculpey, and the head is just the Seso head from Prince of Persia.

Horace Slughorn (Jim Broadbent)

The hairpiece is made of Sculpey, and the face and torso decals are my own design.

Hope everyone enjoyed this new post! Comments much appreciated!

Any ideas on what Harry Potter minifigs I should make next?

Cheers,

~tin7

Kingsley is my favorite, but all of them look great! Moody should have a darker color of coat though, perhaps dark brown or gray. But still, he looks good. :thumbup:

Who to do next? Hmm...perhaps a more accurate Remus Lupin, or a Rufus Scrimgeour, or Cornelious Fudge.

They're all wonderful, but the Moody bothers me because he's wearing a cloth jacket over his already-printed jacket. Is there any way you could crease the cloth one so it fits more snugly and covers up the printed one? Not sure if you want to do that, but I feel it would be a great improvement.

Also, I think his jacket should be dark gray, just like the printed one. It seems to match the photograph you provided a lot better.

Kingsley Shacklebolt's definitely my favorite of the bunch, just because his outfit is so colorful and appealing. The others are just as accurate to the movie depictions, though.

I'd have to go with the everyone about Kingsley being the best. :wub:

Yeah I reckon Rufus would be really cool and Fudge aswell.

Also as Little Brick Man said, some of the centaurs would be cool, especially with the new BrickForge centaur piece. :wub:

Looking forward to more Tin7!

Could you add Remus Lupin to that as well?(one that is more accurate than TLG's effort) My suggestion for your next batch of Harry Potter minifigures is minifigs that were only released in yellow besides Lockhart as you have already done him. For example, Tom Riddle would be nice and wouldn't really be too hard to do when you think about it. Others like that are Crabbe, Goyle and Quirrell. I'm not sure of any others though.

How does one make decals? I want to make flesh replications of Quirrell and Lockhart, but I don't know how to make decals and can't find any existing heads that are suitable.

In this section of the forum you can find some useful tutorials (scroll down to section II) about customisation, including one on making decals in MSPaint (it's basic for torsos, but it works more or less the same for heads).

Thanks for the link. I'll use that tutorial to make myself Quinlan Vos decals while we wait for a genuine one.

I must agree with everyone who has said that Kingsley's figure is the best; he just really caught my eye as being the most colourful and probably the most difficult to create decals for. Good work as always tin7. :grin:
