  Re: Minifig Ears
 
I've been thinking that the spearheads from a pair of minifig spears are about the right shape and size for a minifig elf's ears... ;-) Now that I have a Dremel tool, I've been thinking of doing this myself (for elves for CastleWorld, in my case).

  I need someone to photograph a minifig for me...

The fig is as folows: take the pirate captain from the pirate island (has a hook hand, wooden leg, pirate hat and a yellow torso). Then replace the (...)

  Minifig Ears
 
Hello, I'd like to customize a minifig by giving it pointed ears like Mr. Spock. Anyone have any ideas on what to use and how to attach them? Thanks in advance! -abernat (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.fun, lugnet.space)

As it turned out, he had a different copy of that head so I didnt bother. (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

  Second-hand LEGO shops [was Re: removing a really stuck neck from a head?]
 
(...) I would love to visit one, if just for the novelty value. Can anyone name a specific place? I'll add it to my "List of Places to Visit in the World" list. --Bill. XFUT: lugnet.market.shopping (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.market.shopping)
 
  Re: removing a really stuck neck from a head?
 
Its the ice planet head with the white eyebrows and moustache. What I will probobly do is to see if he will sell me the head really cheap because its damaged and then try to fix it (much like how I got the black falcon flag cheap for the same (...)

(...) Small towns in Germany have these as well. Pretty neat. (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: removing a really stuck neck from a head?
 
(...) Just curious which head this is and why you want to go to any trouble to make it useable (I can think of about one head for which some amount of trouble might be worth it). Frank (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: removing a really stuck neck from a head?
 
(...) BTW, seeing the condition it's in, can't you convince them to give it to you for free? Perhaps, throw it in for free if you make another purchase. Maggie C. (impressed that there is actually a second-hand LEGO shop where you are) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: removing a really stuck neck from a head?
 
(...) You may be able to get away with a small self tapping screw instead of a screw extractor... drill a hole, screw in the screw (gently) and pull hard on the screw. (...) Definitely. Also, for this sort of drilling, you should be using a Dremel (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: removing a really stuck neck from a head?
 
(...) Have you thought about screw extractors? You'll need a hole in the post, that means drill if head post doesn't already have a hole in it. Then put the screw extractor in and you should be able to move it, or tear apart the plastic. (a (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

This 2nd hand lego shop I frequent has a head that I really want but there is a neck still stuck inside it (its snapped off at the neck) Anyone know of a way to remove the neck from the head so I can use it? If its not possible, I wont buy it :) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

  Re: My Centurion.
 
(...) <grin> Yeah!! And at Brickfest (or whenever) it could sit right next to Adrian Drake's Marvin the Martian! LOL. That would be cool... like the person in the minifig suit (see brickfest 2000 pictures) holding the "baby" minifig... Mark, cool (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: My Centurion.
 
(...) LOL -- it's PERFECT! Now.. if we only had Gasgano's head in black with white eyes instead of white/black....? We could paint the helmet green, the brush yellow... and poof -- with a red torso, white gloves and a 'skirt' we'd have Marvin the (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
 
  Re: My Centurion.
 
Inspire me it shall! I look forward to attempting to replicate the use of the broom handle as a "special command plume". Awesome job! Technically Centurion helmets had plumes which were perpendicular to the helmet...or 90 degrees from the one you (...)

Greetings to one and all. Well, Kyle's awesome Roman creations inspired me, so now I hope to inspire him with one of my own modifications: A centurion helmet.

  Re: Roman-theme LEGO
 
(...) The base of a Star Wars lightsaber with a screwdriver might make an interesting short sword. That is if you can find any chrome screwdrivers. ----anti-mod members skip the next part You could always paint the screwdriver if you like the look (...)
