| 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 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.

| 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, (...)

| Hello! (...) Thanks! There are two versions of this lever handle, an early one and a more recent one. The disc part of the early one is small enough to fit well in the minifig's hand. Bye Jojo (20 years ago, 31-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.build)

| 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 (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.mod)
