Hi Will Your custom minifig weapons are amazing. I too think they will be one of my first non-LEGO purchases to supplement my LEGO collection. A few thoughts on future weapons: Like you have mentioned I think you should stay away from add-on (...) (18 years ago, 7-Jun-06, to lugnet.build.military, FTX)
