Ah, then the work has been worthwhile. :)

   With your permission, I’d like to link to your post on my website.

Granted. I’ve also had an offer from Redbean (Isaac Yue) to host an HTML version on his minifig customizing network website. I’ve given him permission to go ahead as his time permits. I’ll likely add a few more images, and tinker with the type style and so forth a bit to increase readability. You’re welcome to link to the thread (assuming the Lugnet admins are OK with such?) in the mean time, but I’d advise keeping an eye out for the debut of the HTML version. At that point, I expect Isaac would be willing to let you link, if you ask. :)

   About said website, I have a couple of pictorial how-to’s that have a few LEGO applications (it’s more directed toward my other toy hobby, customizing 12” action figures).

You too? *sigh* I earned a lot of my grocery money last year thanks to one guy’s childhood obsession with Masters Of The Universe... :)

   I am still rebuilding the site, though, and the pictorial with the most applicability to LEGO, decal making, is not complete yet. Here is a link anyway:

Mimetic Gloss (customizing 1:6 & larger): http://home.att.net/~binky2k/index.htm

I’m going to spend some time looking at this when I get a chance (just landed a new freelance contract with Library and Archives Canada yesterday, so no free time for Norbert for a few weeks...). Thanks for posting the link.

   and my LEGO proper site: binkyplastica: http://home.att.net/~lilia2k/index.htm

Here too, I must rummage.


All the best,


Norbert Black

Hey, thanks for posting this, Norbert! It's very informative and well-written. I'm going to try the epoxy. I've tried a couple of hair pieces using a cut down motorcycle helmet as a base, but because I get a one-track mind about my hobby techniques (...)
