I like the idea of trying to build gundam-like mechs, but I don't like to disassemble half of my collection to build them. I had just watched Gundam Wing the other day when I had an idea. I was able to make a recognizable (though not very detailed) (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I second that emotion Karim. Before I knew how to use LDRAW, MLCAD, L3P, and POV-Ray I thought the same as you Mark and Bryan, but once I learned how to use them it opened up a whole new way to enjoy my hobby, not only would my models have the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I've found that a bit o' Brasso on a Q-Tip works better than an X-Acto knife for removing microphones... not as much scarring. It does get tricky in small spaces, so if you trim down the fuzz on the Q-Tip first, it can help. I used this method on a (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
