Boy, you're fast!  Do you notice the looseness that John mentioned?  How about
this challenge... can he hold a piece of chain link from say a Ninja Treasure
Transport (6033) or Air Zep?  It doesn't have to be a death grip... well if it
were REAL it almost would... :)

And now here's a hypothetical... PLEASE don't do this as quick as the last
one... :)  If you want to try it I don't want to be responsible!...
any thoughts as to how you might stain or dye the Technic head to match the
Belville hands?  Or even use on all of the skin to tone it down to a lower
uniform shade?

Thanks again!
Dave

Ok, I posted the "nice" version of this message on "Belville"... but I know
that the Technic folks are tough and they like to get down to the nuts and
bolts of things so I know they can handle whats about to come...

LOL! I was gonna reply to the "nice" version and put up a pic of a belville
fig on my site, but you were too quick for me ;-)


I need to know if you can easily rip the "nice guy" head off of a Belville • fig
and replace it with a scowling Technic head like the Cyber Stinger pilot or
the diver that Mark Koeberl put up in his 3 fig auction...

Yep, it's easy, and you can see the results on
http://www.geocities.com/shiri_lego/NonCastle.html


Or, is there a collection of pics of available Technic figs to pick and • choose
pieces to build one from several (once I find the parts of course)?  I want a
tough, dark haired character to fit the part in one of my projects, blue
jeans, t-shirt with jacket.  Belville physique would be nice for realism, but


I would like the ability for the character to grip Technic accessories and I
don't think the Belville/Scala hands will give that much from what I have
read.

Belville hands have minifig-sized grip size - not the same as technic (I
think).
The hands of a BV 'fig and a tech fig are NOT interchangeable. I just
checked ;-)


Hope I'm not too far off-topic!

I think this fits better into the new .build.minifigs, so FUT there.

Thanks!

HTH!
