Also, I don't care much for minifig scale, so I didn't model it for the minifigs. But it appears to work pretty well anyway. (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

(...) It's actually not an antenna, it's a minifig challis/goblet stuck between a pair of 1x1 cylinders. I like the looks of it, because of the way it curves, even moreso than the antenna trick. The Rampage uses your idea more closely, with a dark (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.space)
