    Re: Some fun for Buffy and Angel fans —Bianca Nebab
   Hmm, I guess I'm alone in my nerdy and somewhat disturbing devotion to these tv shows. My quest for a Buffy buddy continues. Anyhoo, I bought a new printer a few days ago and made some progress with these guys while snowed in here in NJ. I just have (...)

         Re: Some fun for Buffy and Angel fans —Bianca Nebab
     Hey! I am NOT alone! I am feeling a little verklempt. Maybe I'll scare some more Buffy fans out when the sets are finished and posted to a broader newsgroup. These are some great suggestions, thankyou both. I am smacking my forehead, why I didn't (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

     OK! I finished the second batch and even fit in tweaking some series one faces. I now have a whopping 51 unique faces (12 are alternate faces, so 39 unique figs). You guys raise some excellent points. First, the technical stuff about decal paper at (...) (19 years ago, 31-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.mod)
    
         A hockey coincidence —Norbert Black
      Hello Bianca Thanks for your very interesting followup post. When I get a bit more time, I'd like to comment on some of the aesthetic issues you raise, since I've had to deal with similar ones in my own customization work. However, for lack of time, (...)

          Re: A hockey coincidence —Bianca Nebab
      Hey Norbert, First, let me say, I'm a big fan of your minifigs. They are awesome. I don't have the patience for painting (those who can, do, those who can't, just gawk in amazement at those who can do. Who Do. Er... ), so, wow. Do you have a (...)

      Hi Bianca Thanks for your reply. (...) Yep. :) Without my glasses, I'm "legally blind" (which condition, apparently, is set at the Can't Tell That's An 'E' At The Top Of The Eyechart level).

     Hi there, I've been pondering the aesthetic issue. Last night I made a pyramid of Lego heads, illustrating the schema in Scott McCloud's book, Understanding Comics.

        Re: Some fun for Buffy and Angel fans —Erik Olson
   Hi Bianca, Minifigs with noses creep me out. It's an artistic choice, making the head more realistic, less iconic than Smiley. I guess I don't like the clash of square head (non-realistic) and more realistic features. I have this same problem with (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.mod)
