     (...) My current minifig total is only 71, but my cousin has a rather large "Space army" consisting of over 200 soldiers. And these are fairly unique; not a lot of clones. I've also got a goal of around 300 minifigs for that true minifig- scale (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

       For dwarves/jawas/etc, I like to use 1x2 bricks with the rounded contours ... the same rounding conour style used by the wild west wooden-log walls.
