  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)
 
  Re: Space helmet
 
(...) 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)
 
  Re: Space helmet
 
(...) Whuah??? I know the set designers have to modify bricks, since they usually end up designing new elements. A friend of mine was a set designer for a while, he designed the [LEGOSet 7130]and a few others... But Master Builders? We've always (...)

  Re: Space helmet
 
(...) Mike specified that it required the modification of the 2x2 round plate. A correctly sized drill bit would open the axle hole up to a circular stud sized hole. Seems like an easy enough, and unnoticable enough modification to be doable by all (...) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: Space helmet
 
(...) Indeed it doesn't look possible to do with real bricks... (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: Space helmet
 
How do you get the minifig's round neck to go through the + shaped hole in the 2X2 round plate? Is it maybe something that can only be done in CAD? (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  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)

  Re: admin: broken link
 
(...) Lar, Thanks for the compliment. I actually prefer that updates/requests be posted to the group. That way they are saved for posterity, and the progress/history of the group is searchable. Thanks, Clark Visit my Vintage Parts pages, submissions (...) (21 years ago, 1-Nov-03, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.admin.curators)
 
  Re: fixed broken link
 
(...) Mike, Thanks for the notification. I do not regularly check for broken links, and do not have a Lugnet tool for doing so. I have to rely on users to let me know when something changes. I looked for an updated site for that program but couldn't (...) (21 years ago, 1-Nov-03, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

  admin: broken link
 
I don't see a curator name on the page, so I hope you'll forgive me for posting this to the newsgroup! The link to the Minifig Sticker Printer is broken. 404, all pages nonexistent. ~Mike (21 years ago, 30-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: ...WoW!
 
(...) I can only hope that what I'm doing is, or will, have a positive effect within the community. While money is nice, it's not the real reason why I started this venture. It's the "WOW's" that I love the best. Knowing that I can make someone (...) (21 years ago, 29-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: ...WoW!
 
(...) Thanks Matt, I was aware of that incidentally. I actually *developed the scabbard ball-joint attachment and the curvature of the axe blade btw. (I'm kinda proud of this involvement into a product I believe in) The point of showing these (...) (21 years ago, 29-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.western, lugnet.general)

And that was made by Jeff Byrd! From the Little Armory! You can even order most of that armor for yourself! (its $7.95 a set, I believe) (URL) (21 years ago, 29-Oct-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.minifigs, FTX)

Well this is a first of sorts for me on several levels: It's my first time to use FTX for a post so if this fubar's, my apologies ahead of time. It's the first (and hopefully) the last time I'll use such a long title but I couldn't resist. Gold star (...)

  Underworld movie poster
 
Well.. this was done a couple weeks ago but with vacation I never got the post put up. After seeing Underworld I finally got the incentive to finish the poster as I'd had the idea for a few months based on promo pictures, etc. (URL) you like it. :) (...)
