I saw that shoulder piece in my big ugly pile of unsorted LEGO the other day

Thanks for the compliments - Yes I combine architectural elements, and
populate sub-sections with themed characters to match BUT I haven't
experimented much with the actual swapping of mini-fig parts (i.e. mixing
space/castle in a single fig).  I guess I generally look upon figures as mere
appendages of the architecture, so I tend to throw them into the scene just to
make the buildings look "busier."

You are much more the master with mini-figs.  It is amazing how much detail
work and interesting things you are able to do with a single minifig.  I guess
its a micro vs. a macro approach.

P.S. Now, I see how you are able to flit around all the newsgroups so easily.
The browser interface makes it very easy to see what's hot accross the entire

(...) Thanks! I can't and won't take the credit for that, though... it was an idea running around here a while ago. IIRC, I first saw it on Dave E's character for CW. Isn't it great?
