It's a lot easier with a specialized minifig modeler program.  There are
several choices for the PC, but I don't know if MCB has one yet.  Maybe you
could try and convince Orion to work on his LDDP minifig modeler plugin to
make it portable?  I'm sure that'd be a more stimulating intellectual
challenge than that silly java-3D stuff he's currently fiddling with. ;^)

I've been thinking of making a portable one myself with GLUI, but I prefer
to build on top of someone else's code if it's available, rather than
re-invent the wheel.  Leaves more time for playing...
