      Poor John.. he's got a scar.

      Excellent idea, and well done.

      yeah, john is unfortunately doubling a chosen wizard...

      If I could work out the cleanest way to remove the printing from minifig heads, I'd be happy to post you a de-scarred Harry head. I have a few spares. :-)

      that's very kind of you, but if you could just tell me the best way to get rid of it, i'd be happy to do it myself...

      why is paul out of focus?

    14. minifig (87 months ago | reply)

      I imagine that it's through reasons of cheap equipment, although I guess that I could claim it's to give it the feel of the original...

    15. kosmar.ipernity.com (87 months ago | reply)

      i believe in the second explanation

    16. minifig (87 months ago | reply)

      Thanks Kosmar, I'll stick with that one then...

    17. saipanrick (87 months ago | reply)

      could it be that paul is out of focus because hes DEAD??? ;-)

    18. minifig (87 months ago | reply)

      Now that's the solution.

      I love that title, Everything sounds
      better with Lego in front of it.

      "If I could work out the cleanest way to remove the printing from minifig heads"

      A very, very, sharp scalpel and a lot of patience seems to work. Just gently scrape it over the bit to be removed. It leaves alittle bit of roughness, but given the general quality of most of my Lego it doesn't really seem to be an issue :-)

      へえぇ! スゲ! けどあの人(John Lennon) Harry Potterだね。

      Another way to remove the scar: basic granulated sugar. It can be used as a mild abrasive that'll remove the printing but won't mar the shiny surface. I've used this trick on my mobile phone to remove the company logo.

      Ringo Ringo Ringo - perfect moustache and hair!! If I was half a man I would be able to grow something like that - for real, not in plastic.

      I'm surpised nobody mentioned George's mullet!

    33. minifig (76 months ago | reply)

      Well, he didn't have a haircut a million miles off a mullet at the time...

      Spectacular!

      Your lego work is awesome =]

      I always wanted to do more, photographically with them and other smaller figures, but the only thing I have is:

      Fantastic!

      Love it. It's amazing how much the lego characters actually look like who they're supposed to be, Harry Potter scar aside. If you can't remove that from the actual lego guy, by the way, you could always do it after the fact in photoshop using the clone tool.
