Hi everyone,
Palisades recently scored the license to one of my all-time favorite TV shows,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (RIP), and are making Kubrick-style "block" figures. I
admit I picked up all the series I figures, but I still prefer my much cuter
LEGO minifigs. So, I made my own!

Well, actually, my inkjet printer recently went Ka-blooey, so I can't print the
decals out yet. These are vector graphics (CorelDRAW) and will be printed on
some transparent water-slide decal paper I got from a model-building supply
store (www.micro-mark.com) as soon as I save up enough money to buy another
printer. Speaking of which, my old printer was an Epson 740i, about 6 years old
(RIP), and it and an even older Epson was the only one I've ever used for decal
paper. I am thinking about getting a Canon next time, though. Does anyone have
any experience with Canon inkjets and waterslide decal paper (coated paper)? I
don't want to buy a printer, and then not be able to use it for my little arts
and crafts projects.

Anyway, I must say, I was really excited about this project. It had been a while
since I was super-enthused about LEGO, so it's a real downer to have the project
stalled like this.

(...) Hey, neat-o Bianca! What kind of printer is used for the decals? An inkjet? I didn't know that it was possible to make those..., this will come in handy for my plastic model work. As for the faces, I must admit that I have trouble recognizing, (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.mod)
