This is one thing that has stumped most of us. I believe the current
consensus is that there is no way to do this with plain-vanilla
AppleScript. Maybe you can find a scripting addition or application
that will help you to do it but this is a common question and I have
yet to see a good answer for it.
Hmm, any Apple people around take note! It'd be nice to add
AppleScript support for icons to the Finder, System Events, or to
Standard Additions.

I'm writing a little program to do some photo album organization, and
would like to (amongst other things) be able to automatically create
a folder icon for a folder holding photos by scaling the first image
found in the folder (and preferably adding a border, but that's just
a frill). One of the example scripts included with 10.3 shows how to
use Applescript to automatically write a thumbnail to an image file
(using Image Events functionality), but I can't for the life of me
find out how to do such a thing for a folder. Any suggestions?
