  Re: Space helmet
 
My bad. I didn't notice the part where it says that the 2X2 round plate is modified. (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) I love it, I've always considered what it would take to use those domes on a minifig. I might consider going 'impure' for a Flash Gordonesque serial that's in the works. -Sean (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)

  Re: Space helmet
 
Here we go again, another great debate on purists and non-purists. It's kind of funny the way we (I include myself, i'm no different than the rest of you) see and use lego parts as if they had something holy in them :-) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs, FTX)

  Space helmet
 
With a little modification of a 2x2 round plate, you get an excellent Moon helmet... (URL) as slim as a normal helmet, perhaps, but it's more like what your typical cartoon Mars helmet looks like. ~Mike (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) November 2003, on the cover and on the "Building Challenge" page. They are now named "Sandy Moondust" (female) and "Biff Starling" (male).
