Yet another project documented finally thanks to my new digital camera. Warning: This one involves painted LEGO elements. Well, one, anyway. But I did take the time to document how I did it. Those of you who took the time to look at my VW B3 page (...) (24 years ago, 21-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.announce)

(...) Thanks! (...) It's an old Space jetpack- I think from around the M-Tron era, but I'm not completely sure. The things that hold the swords are supposed to hold a couple of trans-antifreeze 1x1 cones to represent exhaust. It's an incredibly (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) minifig. I'm no purist myself - I've loved all the customized superhero minifig ideas. This is one of the better executed ones, imo. We tried to use Lego bricks and such for additional scenery for a while for our D&D campaign (minifigs never (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

<snip> (...) <snip> Yep, really cool piece worn by an M:Tron in set #6704. I think they decided they had to give it to him because the Blacktron had that huge rocket thing :) -dead (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

Why did you choose to go the masking route instead of using a small brush and hand painting the way Craigo does? I'm not a (...) (24 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) Thanks! The one important piece of background that's missing is the sketch I have somewhere of Solitaire (as opposed to the cover of the Deadpool TPB I have up there)- it would give a better impression of the allowances I made for working in (...)
