I have a
coupla questions/comments, tho, about "Jeff, the minifig version" on
your main LEGO page:

0.  What a great concept!

Thanks!

1.  Where did you get that hair?  Is it modified?

Well, one day I just stopped going for haircuts and...oh, you meant the
minifig hair.  It's Qui-Gon's hair from the SW Ep1 sets, no modification.

2.  Is that a red beard, or is it brown and the colors came out funny?
Is that Captain Redbeard?  Or something handpainted?

It's red, just like the real thing.  The face was originally on a castle
'fig (I think Royal Knights), which is identical to the Cap'n, except no
eyepatch.  I did modify it slightly by removing the bangs with a pencil
eraser.

I've got a couple of versions of that head, with very red hair,
brownish-red, and black.  I think they're pretty much all from Castle
sets, although some may be from Pirates.

3.  Surely you have some gray legs!

Actually, I was wearing some very faded/light-colored blue jeans in the
picture. I should have grabbed a pair that was more blue, I guess... 8)
I need a brighter red shirt, too.

(...) As I was sorting pieces last weekend (oops, wrong ng!), I found a castle fig that had the reddish brown hair and beard. I guess when I first got it, I probably assumed it was brown, but in a good light, it's definitely auburn. (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.build)
