On a related note, here are my chemistry creations:

Someday soon I'll photograph my revised lab.

Yup- I saw those a couple weeks ago & really liked the poor guy on fire :))
I'm sure your stuff set me in the mood subconciously to do chemistry Lego,
cause I was thinking about your MOC's while drawing mine.

Similar to above, but with hollow studs

I like your proposed pieces.  I've always thought a plate with studs on both
sides would be a really useful piece.

I tried to make some thing different enuf from the competition, so Lego could
legally manufacture it, & I wanted to see what the curved ends would look like.
It would work well with 1x1 cylinder bricks, so pipes on a ship etc. would
look good.  With plates back-to-back, you probably wouldn't see the curved
edges anyway.

In town

what if you had to build a minifig from other parts?  My answer makes them
proportionally narrower to fit in 4-wide cars, etc.

Cute.  Did you see these micro-sized classic space figs by Brian Muzas:

On your top left one, what if you took off the printed yellow brick and brown
tile and replaced them with a jumper tile and a normal minifig head?

I saw Brian's MOC's & that's what spurred me to post mine, as I had made them
months ago-I wanted to 'get them out there' before someone else did the same
designs.

Very cool!


Bruce

Thanks!
