Darin Bastedo Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 This little guy is kind of a prototype. I wanted to see if I could do a reasonable 1/25 scale Minion from the movie "despicable me". The next one will be a quite a bit smoother and finished. I'll give him hands and other small details like hair. What do you guys think? wouldn't a fanciful garage diorama with a bunch of these guys creating mischief be kinda cool?
Dave Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 That would be very cool and fun, I can see them working on my Chiavette now!
ra7c7er Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 They would be awesome on a diorama or even driving a car. I could see them in something like the Fireball 500.

Howard Cohen Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Funny, they don't look Jewish FYI...minion is a Jewish word referring to a gathering of men who pray together.
george 53 Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 No, no they don't. BUT other than the shade of their skin, they COULD be some of my cuzzins!!!! They need ta be a little wetter though!!! ( I dried off ALONG time ago! )
Harry P. Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Looks fairly easy to do. All you need to start is a few cocktail wieners...
Eshaver Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I guess if it were a cartoon venue .......... Hey I've seen a lot in my day. Ed Shaver
Mr. Moparman Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I can see then trying to put a big block chevy into a '69 Charger.......

1320wayne Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Very creative Darin. I think a bunch of these little guys would look cool in a diorama.
seeker589 Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Very creative Darin. I think a bunch of these little guys would look cool in a diorama. Or you could use them as a signature on all of your models. Everyone could identify your models by each one having a Minion in it or on it. For example - I paint all my Rear End covers (pumpkins) green on all my models.
sjordan2 Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Funny, they don't look Jewish FYI...minion is a Jewish word referring to a gathering of men who pray together. It's always tricky to anglicize spellings of words from different alphabets, but the typical definition of "minion" is an underling or sycophant who is devoted to a master. The more common English spelling of the word about men who pray together is "minyan." Any spelling is probably okay. The New York Times made a list of 132 spellings of "Gadhafi"– Khaddafy, Qaddafi, etc. Edited March 18, 2011 by sjordan2

peter31a Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 MMmmmm....minions! I love minions! I especially love them fried up and served on a burger or I like liver & bacon and minions.....oh wait you said minions not onions eh? Sorry about that.... Great work by the way. He, she , it's a really neat project!
crazyjim Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I hate onions, but those little guys are cute. Bacon only goes with scrambled eggs and BLT's - never in a salad or wrapped around a filet. And before I sign off for the day, let me remind you that's Friday and that pizza, popcorn, and WWE Friday Night Smackdown. Have a great evening.
RodneyBad Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Bring on the Minions.. Cute lil guys. Don't forget the One eye guys. Awesome Movie too. :lol:
Tony T Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Looks great!! (Good movie, too). They look the same, but each one is different it seems, plus variations in height, and one eye or two.
Wagoneer81 Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Darin, if you ever cast these, I want several dozen... The first time I saw the preview for Despicable Me, I looked at my buddy and said, "That's hilarious, I want minions too!!!" Barring casting them, I may have to go your route and fab several for myself...
Mooneyzs Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 That is Awesome with the Minions and great job would can't wait to see more of them. I say go for it make a bunch.... I cracked up at that movie watching them.
David G. Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Minions rock! I want minions too, I think I'll make some for myself! Excellent work, it'll be great to see him painted. Thanks for sharing your minion with the rest of us. David G.
