  Movie Minifigs
 
I was messing around with minifigs while sorting bricks this weekend and I decided to try uploading to Brickshelf for the first time and see how pictures turn out. I've already learned I need to reduce file size! Some fun with movie characters (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

  Re: Admiral Ackbar custom
 
Thanks! It's the grey imperial torso from 7201 "Final Duel II" set; in MLCad I can mak it any color i want. I got to thinking about this afterward & I figured in real life a plain white torso or a white racing torso: (URL) be the closest that's been (...)

I've put up a new poll to see whether the LUGNET community would rather see a Lando minifig made in brown or yellow: (URL) Rev. Brendan Powell Smith (22 years ago, 4-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: Hussars!
 
(...) Sean, It's an entirely LEGO solution: the bottom tyre rests on the head and is locked in place with a 1x1 round plate (push down hard - the tyre will flare slightly over the head). Another 1x1 round plate is put on top, then the second tyre, (...) (22 years ago, 4-Oct-02, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: Hussars!
 
(...) Sorry its taken me so long to respond to this. You did a great job Richie, but did the tires stick to them selves or is there something inbetween the tires holding them together? Just wondering... Hasta La Vista, Sean (22 years ago, 3-Oct-02, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.minifigs)

  Hussars!
 
Ahoy! I've always likes James Howse's idea of Russian hats made from old style tyres (see pics at (URL) note: the use of tyres as hats dates back to at least 1975.) Nice hats, but not really in my prefered era or region. Recently, though, I was (...) (22 years ago, 22-Sep-02, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.build.minifigs)

I think this dude came from the 3 vs. 3 soccer set because I have this guy in my town but I don't buy that many soccer sets unless it's on sale and the 3 vs. 3 set was the only new soccer set I got.

  Re: Who is this fig?
 
(...) Hi There is a figure like that, as part of 3420 Championship Challenge II, who has number 11. The head is correct. He has brown hair. Kecia (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Who is this fig?
 
Can anyone identify this figure? I'm guessing he's some kind of sports player, probally soccer. He has a number 11 on front and back and they are printed, no stickers. I'm not sure if the head or legs are original. Front: (URL) for the help, jt (22 years ago, 17-Sep-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.general)
