Aha! And you see, I tend to build buildings to supplement the characters. :-)
(OK, well, not exactly... I love building, but my inspiration is drawn from
the 'figs and their stories.)

Aw... you got me blushin' now...
I'm no master, c'mon...
Personally, I still look up to Craig's fabulous stuff... he's been busy lately
but he's got some surprises in store for us, I understand...

Thanks! The cool thing is that there are infinite possibilities... every
little change makes the character completely different, when you go into
detail. For example: Scar's right hand, a simple switch from yellow to white
on one side only gives her (IMHO) a lot of personality, as well as potential
for the story behind *why* it's like that...

Yep! You keep on building those beautiful sky scrapers, and I'll go on
creating some humble minifigs...

Oh, yes! It's so much nicer, too; easy access to set & piece searches, and all
that... Todd has made the interface SO nice that I couldn't possibly switch to
NNTP now, I think...
