(...) I dug out a flat hobby file from the set I use for taking the flashing off of table top figurines to get rid of that tab, myself. It took some time and requires a bit of attention to prevent going too far or accidentally filing the 'front' (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

I dremeled the tab away using a small coarse sanding drum. Worked fine, though the ABS is so hard, it took a while. I've gone the X-acto route and I'd say the ABS is too hard to hand-cut the piece safely, unless you use a vise. binky "Bruce (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

I remember in my much younger days buying a set of mini figs from LS@H that I believe would have been the first castle mini fig pack. I've never seen it documented anywhere (even here on lugnet). It consisted of the following: 2 each of the visored (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

The UFO armor pads also appear in many Insectoids sets. It's been seen in two colors: Black and Dark Grey. The black version appears to have made more appearances and is available in many smaller sets. Don't destroy those wonderful UFO figs though. (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I tried saw blades years ago, and I found them on the useless side for this type of work. If you are actually cutting all the way through, it works better, but I prefer a jeweler's saw at that point. A good old #11 is my flensing tool of (...) (24 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

X-Acto sells a #13 micro saw blade that might work well for this application. I bet you can find it at a hardware store or a well-stocked model/train store. ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Ahhhh, got a visored-helm here with me (shopping spree with the stuff still in the car). Kind of a hulking look, but that's okay. I'm good with an X-acto blade, I'll give that a try when I get home. Some good suggestions. Thanks. I had a (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.castle)
