|
| (...) Rob, my favourite line on your page: "Modding LEGO's rendition of my LifeLites minifigs" LMAO!! Stick it to 'em :] That "trash-can-lid" minifig head on the TLC version is bizarre. I can't believe they didn't make the batteries replaceable. (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.parts.mod)

| (...) Please consider not posting bitmaps. They are very space intensive and take a long time to load. Instead use a lossless compressed format like .gif if you can. In my view jpegs are not as good for things like line drawings, they are better for (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)

| (...) Please don't go to a lot of trouble on my account! It's just that I usually post jpegs or bitmaps of things to my Brickshelf, since anyone can view them without any special software.

|
| If it's a non-functional bulb, I'd think this would be an ideal opportunity to experiment with it and take it apart, to see if you can fit in a new lightbulb. It shouldn't be that difficult to accomplish. Perhaps you can even redesign it so it takes (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts, lugnet.storage, lugnet.general)

| (...) Hi, Yeah, I'm working in ACIS Solids, then exporting to STL, then from STL2DAT. I'll try to do a few more this weekend and post the results to the same folder.

| | | | | Modding the new LEGO lightup minifig
|
| Finally! I got my hands on one of the new LEGO produced lightup figs. You know what comes next - MUTILATION!!! First, some observations of the LEGO version: The packaging states the batteries are not replaceable. With a little work, you can pry off (...)

| Hi there, I've been pondering the aesthetic issue. Last night I made a pyramid of Lego heads, illustrating the schema in Scott McCloud's book, Understanding Comics. (See below) McCloud's schema for comic characters identifies three artistic poles (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

| (...) Well, they've recently started producing 5L and 7L technic axles, which have proved extremely useful (thanks!). And I always love to bring up the (URL) 5x9 plate> they documented but never made :) ROSCO (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, FTX)
