What's the best way to add height to minifigs? I have a figure (mentioned earlier, all black with a transparent red head, cloak, and silver sword) who needs to stand about a foot taller than everyone else (he's the incarnation of justice). Anyhow, (...) (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) In junior high, we had a classroom project which was built to such a scale. It was a study of Seattle WA, and different color bricks represented different types of buildings.

(...) No, don't say it: you are (searching for subtle euphemism) "passing" bricks? Oooooo, and you have to use a brick separator? Ouch. You are taking this Lego stuff too far! :-) Bruce (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

I had to do this for my Charles Degaulle (?) figure for my Eiffel Tower. I stuck a 2x4 'camera' brick with studs on 4 sides and a tube on the end in between the body and legs. I also put a 1x1 plate on the bottom and a 1x2 plate on that for feet. (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Some people don't use legs at all, but bricks. That way you can make a minifig at any height you want - dwarves, giants, Michael Jordan; they're all possible if you use bricks. :-) HTH, -Shiri (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) How 'bout using a 1x2 hinge at the waist with 1x2 bricks and plates for height? This will still allow you to have the 'fig bend at the waist, though he will have a hard time sitting in one spot. -Cheese (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The dot in the headgear is an excellent idea! It raises the cloaked head thing a little high (so you can see the bare neck from the back), but that's OK, I think. I've settled on a combination of options -- it makes the minifig about a foot (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
