Posted February 23, 201114 yr Hello Fellow Eurobricks Members ! As this is my first post in the Minifig Customisation Topic, a little introduction would be appropriate. I'm Geertos13, a Harry Potter MOCer and Brickfilmer. You probably know me from the Licensed Forum where I'm hanging around most of the time. However, I thought this TOPIC belonged here as it shows how you can make a simpel Kreacher out of a regular house elf/dobby mold. This is my first ever Customization and I muist admitt, harming such a beautifull head piece, does hurt a bit This is Kreacher. The house elf of the Black Family. He's old, ugly and a bit creepy. To get the appropriate feel I did some pretty simple customisation : 1) Push the Nose down. ( Like this ) 2) Rub of, half of the eyes printing, so that he looks bored or angry. ( depending on how you take it off ) WARNING : The Printing rubs off very easely ! 3) Cut (small knife) down the edges of the Mouth to the bottom so that he gets a sad look ( or an angry, depending on how the eyes look, once again ) 3) Using a knife again, make a small hole in one of the ears, to make he look older and maybe, "abused" as he looks in the movies 4) With the knife again, cut different holes on the cheecks and on his head, to make him look older. You can also make the original molds deeper ( eye for instance, too make him look tired ) SIDE TO SIDE : DOBBY AND KREACHER Tip : If Dobby and Kreacher are to be in the same MOC ( Hogwarts Kitchens, Spying on Malfoy ) : By Giving Dobby at hat and Hogwarts Clothing for the Kitchens, Kreacher will look even uglier CLOSE UP I hope you enjoyed it and found it usefull Comments & Critics Appreciated Edited February 26, 201114 yr by Geertos13
February 24, 201114 yr Welcome to the world of minifig customization Geertos! I'm not familiar with the character Kreacher, but your customization technique is really very interesting. Nice job getting the intended old, ugly and tattered look of the face, I like the cut ear detail the best.
February 26, 201114 yr Author Thanks for the comments guys ! They are really appreciated ! Welcome to the world of minifig customization Geertos! I'm not familiar with the character Kreacher, but your customization technique is really very interesting. Nice job getting the intended old, ugly and tattered look of the face, I like the cut ear detail the best. Kreacher is the House Elf of the Black Family ( Sirius Black is the only living member of it left ) And he lives at 12 Grimmauld Place where he serves his only Master, Sirius... He hates him though. Well I guess back information is not really needed. He looks like this in the movie : So that you have an idea, I made him a bit after my own imagination too so the model is not perfect accurate to the movie ! But I hope there still is some ressemblance !
February 26, 201114 yr This is Simple, but Effected, Too bad i Dont have the New Little House Elf Head, all i have is the Old one....
February 26, 201114 yr Author This is Simple, but Effected, Too bad i Dont have the New Little House Elf Head, all i have is the Old one.... Well I think the Old one is exactly the same mold without the printings, so you could still try to push the nose down, make him look sad, push the edges of the mouth down I guess... If you want to of course...
February 27, 201114 yr Nice job, though you should put some putty or something under his chin to make a drooping effect. Also, my Dobby had the same problem with the eyes. The printing came off when I first got him. I sent a reply for another head and I'm afraid to touch it.
February 27, 201114 yr Simple yet effective! I've been thinking about getting a second Dobby to use as Kreacher. Now I just have to!
April 1, 201113 yr Echoing what's already been said... This is a great little bit of customization, you got his character across perfectly. Nice work! m19
