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 (...)

| 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)
