Hey Brendan, Another good chapter. Comments: 4:4-5 - Did you spring for the hair for this, or did you already have it? Good use of a rare part to set off a distinctive figure (though it might have been better for Sarah if you had had it back in (...) (19 years ago, 4-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

(...) I've had a couple of these white hair pieces for a little while now, but indeed was waiting for an appropriate time to use them. I didn't spring for them though, they were a gift to The Brick Testament. No, not from the LEGO company. :) I (...) (19 years ago, 5-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

(...) Have you tried reinforcing it with a bent paperclip? I know you've used some non-lego solutions in the past (hey, you're not photographing it with a Vision Command camera) and it wouldn't even be visible. Also, I think (URL) is the best shot (...)

(...) Yeah, I don't know what it says about me as a person, but I'm more upset at the sight of mutilated Lego than I am at the idea of someone getting killed violently in his sleep. By the way, I love the backward-helmet look here...I don't think it (...) (19 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

(...) True, but everything in front of the camera is LEGO (except the background sky). Has LEGO ever made paperclips? Maybe if somebody from Billund or Enfield sent me some paperclips from LEGO headquarters, that could be some sort of loophole. But (...) (19 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

Or you can use the metal wire used in battery boxes like (URL) here>, or simply say that you did. I mean, cutting up lego pieces seems worse to me than using an invisible paperclip. But hey, it's your party :) (19 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

(...) I guess I'm not as bothered as some people at the idea of "mutilated" LEGO. I mean, don't think of it as a mutilated LEGO head that has become useless, think of it as two LEGO half-heads--a new specialty part previously unavailable. And who (...)

Hi, Felix. (...) That's really nice to hear, thanks. It's great to hear that sort of thing from anyone, but it's extra special to hear that from someone whose MOCs really stand out from the crowd for their originality and artistry.
