A Crown fit for a "Goblin King"

Post by Legolas »

Hi all,

Well I woke up REALLY early this morning (for some strange reason :? ) So I decided to make a crown for my yoda Goblin, It turned out really nice I think (alot better then my elven crown..) then again this one is made from lego....

Anyways, Voila !!

I don't know, I think he will look better without a crown.
*And the bulls arrive in kk2*
Cedric the bull: "Hahaha Leo we're here to- wtf?"
*and the bulls see some happy knights bouncing at each other with carts*
Cedric (shocked): "I guess we got the wrong KK''
Bull soldier (frightened): "Lets go back"

I think he stole it from a human. Still it looks very good. :wink:

Could we see a picture of the whole fig?

I like the crown, but I am just wondering what the whole package is like.

Would the crown fit anyone else? For example the elf queen character.

So now the great mystery is solved: those big ears are for holding a crown in place! :D

Nicely done. Looks a little big for his head, but otherwise seems to sit well.

Could you put this on a regular fig? One with a hair/wig on? If so, this would be wicked! Way better than the uncut version.

Was it hard to do? It looks so good I'm tempted to try. I have plenty of crowns, so that's no biggie.

Wow... do you ever stop? You keep churning these things out like it's your job.
Anyway, it looks great. Everything else that could be said has been, except that I'd like to know what you used to cut it.

What did you use to remove the center of the crown? I have experimented with several crown over the years and The middle tends to be the hardest part to remove successfully. I would love to know how you did it. :D

BTW that looks awsome! I think the crown might be a little too cool for the orc, but it does look great. Have you tried using it with a regular fig with hair? Make another and give it a try. :wink:

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.

Awesome crown! I don't really like the Yoda, because he looks too much like, well, Yoda! :wink: You could paint it black, to make it more evil, but it looks great the way it is! :D

I would tell you why he has it, but it would totally ruin the plot of my story :wink: .

Sure can, It needs a little more hollowing out to fit perfectly, but you get the general idea :wink:

If I had the same methods at my disposal as Red Bean & Blasterman, It probably would be....As for what I used, well I'm gonna explain that right now...

Well I drimeled a hole through the top of the crown, then looked around my room for a pair of toenail clippers, but couldn't find any, so I grabbed the next best thing a small pair of wire cutters, I started pinching at an area at the top of the crown expecting to cut through it, when the crown shoots into the air...so I'm thinking "ahh crap, back to square one." Six seconds later (no exaration here) I hear it hit the floor, when I picked it up, the top where I drilled the hole was cracked, and after that I was able to pry it off very easily.... :lol:

The picture of it on a normal minifig is above, but I don't think I'm gonna make another one anytime soon, doubt I'll have that much luck next time removing the center of the crown.... :P

It looks awesome on the regular figure. But I'm sure it fits in your story with the Yoda/orc wearing it.

Good work!

I might try this myself... though my equipment is limited, so I might have to find my own way of doing it.
By the way, how about you tell us a little about that sword that the fig is holding?
