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)

(...) Better idea? hmmmm..probably not...but a suggestion or two... I am still exprimenting w/ this problem myself...I tried a accessory solution...namely using combinations of epaulets, capes, backpacks and armor to raise the level of the head vs (...) (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)

(...) *sigh* I should know better than to leave an opening like that with this lot around. *smirk* Perhaps I _should_ have said: 'This will still allow you to have the 'fig bend at the waist, though it won't sit securely.' Are you happy? Are you? (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
