| Hey guys, I don't believe too many people have seen this: (URL) Thanks Jojo, this is a good illustration of what is wrong with the new mulit-color castle body armor! But then, you can always use Bruce’s solution: (URL) what i did... !Later, (...) (20 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.minifigs)

| | | | | Re: Does Cap'n Ahab have a vertical, orange stripe?
|
| (...) I bought two of these sets and my Capt figs also have the orange stripe. When I first saw it, immediately I thought, hmmmmmm must be a misprint. Even when I use my imagination to the best of its ability, I refuse to considered it a scar. (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

| Hello! (...) It's Captain Ahab after all. He is meant to have a scarface. I suppose the orange stripe is there on purpose. Bye Jojo (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

| Out of this set <set:7045 "Hovercraft Hideout">, this minifig head ("(URL) had a vertical, orange stripe running down its left (i.e., "dexter") side. So, I called LEGO Consumer Affairs and let them know what was wrong ("He's got an extremely (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

Well, at the risk of being "one of those people", I'll start by saying there are lots of injection molding houses that will bid on work online (assuming you had CAD files of (...)

Hi Darrell, I suppose you already know that the cost of a metallic mould can vary depending on the complexity of the shape of the objects, but at the very least it'll still put you back by a few thousands US$, right? Well, anyway, I won't tell (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.build.minifigs, FTX)

From what I can gathered, I think the rapid prototyping which Darrell was talking about, is NOT the same method which Jeff uses to (...)

But a new round of items is coming that I had suspected where being designed via some form of CAD and then mastered via something that (...)
