| | | 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)

| | | | | 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)

| | | | | | (...) *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)

| | | | (...) 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)
