| | Building Robots is Fun...
|
|
Hello all, My name is Peter, and I'm an AFOL from the UK. Amazingly, I've only just discovered this newsgroup (despite being a Lugnet user for years). I've been building Lego robots (and admiring the work of many of you) for a long time. Particular (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Yeah... a really simple one and most of all, a totally free one - doesn'tcost a brick or a penny! For the heads, I simply stack them one on top of the other. I try to place them in a specific order, like all the female heads together, then the (...) (21 years ago, 29-Mar-04, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) This is going to sound really strange, but given your specific needs, have you considered coin pages? You should be able to find some type that's just the right size to fit minifig torsos (I'd suggest getting frosted pages if you can), and a (...)

| | Storing Minifig Torsos and Heads
|

Does anyone have any suggestions for storing low-repetition minifig torsos (and heads)? I'm thinking of those torsos (like those in Island Xtreme sets) which are sufficiently distinctive that you would only use one or two of each in a layout, while (...)

(...) Wow, that's clever. Nice work! So I am wondering if it is even possible to go smaller. The geometric ratio seems to suggest not, but then I keep thinking that's the smallest you can go and someone goes smaller. (21 years ago, 28-Mar-04, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)

My challenge was even more challenging: building a die with smooth tiles on all six sides.
