Your decal image looks great. The crisp edges you have is what I find most difficult to accomplish in my own efforts. On the topic of gold, let me share my method. In Gimp, you can use a picture of gold as a pattern, and then use the pattern to fill an area. Here's a gold image I've used: It's a very small part of this image the Clock King (a Batman villain), but note the gold pocket watch, it's chain, and the buttons of the suit: I started with a decal image that already had a pocket watch in yellow-orange, and I deleted all those pixels. Once it was empty, I set the Fill function to pattern, from selection (choosing a section of the gold one), and then I filled each area. Printing it well is another matter, as you mentioned. Here's a version using that gold image. The image has lighter areas and darker areas, so I used those separately in place of the lighter and darker oranges of the original.

Ah! thanks

I'll check those out, thanks!

I’m asking for recommendations for minifigures that would make a good Christopher Columbus (or decals) Why:: I run a Batman-themed tabletop RPG for my sons, using Legos. Last March, the St. Patrick’s Day parade was attacked by Calendar Man. He was irate about the historical inaccuracies in the saint’s depiction, and portrayed the saint himself with stark honesty. With Columbus day fast approaching, I want to stage another parade. I want the caped crusaders to suspect the actor portraying Columbus, so the ‘costuming’ has to be good. Any recommendations?

Nice one! My Two-Face is currently holding court at a speakeasy underneath the Tea for Two cafe.

I propose the plural: Harleys Quinn

Sorry if this is heresy, but I store some very different things / easily distinguishable pieces in the same bin. For example, heads and hands, because I'm not going to confuse one for the other, and hands are just too small to get their own bin.

I would find it more submersive (why is that word flagged by the dictionary?) to read a title one quarter at a time. For example, read all Spider-Man 1964Q1 and then all Fantastic 4 1964Q1. I think it would make a good compromise between strict monthly reading and reading year by year. That's my 2 cents.

Wow... Clayface has really let himself go.

RPGs, mostly D&D, both as player and as GM.

How do you do it differently in the UK?

Thanks! Yes, but just sometimes. I'm likely to use Duplo to build platforms and their supports for interesting multi-level spaces, like the sewer when the heroes tracked Killer Croc to his lair. Duplo are quicker for building something big, and more available to me (as the boys don't use those blocks much anymore). I mostly draw maps on gridded flipchart paper. I use a 2x2 tile (part 33909) to keep each figure standing and easily movable on any surface (it fits the 1-inch grid nicely). The heroes get a black 33909, and the henches each get their own differently colored 33909 so I can track their damage as they get SOCKed, BOOFed and KAPOWed.

I use Lego figures to run a tabletop RPG for my sons, where they play two of these characters (their choice each time): Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing; and face the dynamic duo's most dastardly deviants. This means I often need specific figures but just for a short time, kind of like extras in a movie. I need Mr. Freeze henches one week, but those figures will be repurposed as Penguin's henches the next, as an example. My two inspirations for MF are the first Lego Batman Video Game, and Batman: the Animated Series. So for Two-Face, I prefer the black and white suit and the half-grey face, for example. I was very happy to find these BtAS minifig plans on this website. Using GiMP, I adapted the Clock King from that thread, giving the suit a pocket watch (as from 973pb1183).
