(details) Viewed:  23980 times    Hello dear fellows! Were you ever in the need of a quick Admiral Ackbar minifigure for a diorama snapshot? I would like to present you an easy and cheap way for constructing a recognizable Admiral Ackbar minifigure. Of course, as always, no saw, glue or paint is used or needed. The clue piece is one of the new clicky hinge pieces, which is in many sets these days. You can see an image of it here: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30396 Not sure if it fit on the standard minifig torso stud, I ordered one, and it really worked! With the addition of 4 small pieces a nice Admiral Ackbar turned out with the typical Mon Calamari head shape.

Admiral Ackbar was one of my childhood favorite, and I’m glad to see it done well. Now I’m off to build my own. -Dan Rubin                        Subject:  Re: Admiral Ackbar Instant Minifigure Newsgroups:  lugnet.starwars Date:  Wed, 6 Dec 2006 07:56:24 GMT Viewed:  5843 times    In lugnet.starwars, Christopher Deck wrote:    Hello dear fellows!
