Hey, thanks for posting this, Norbert! It's very informative and well-written. I'm going to try the epoxy. I've tried a couple of hair pieces using a cut down motorcycle helmet as a base, but because I get a one-track mind about my hobby techniques and stubbornly always used Sculpey, they results were never satisfactory (yes, I tried the boiling thing, but the Sculpey never seems fully cured when boiling it). I think I'll also try Milliput, my hobby store carries it and I was always curious about it. With your permission, I'd like to link to your post on my website. About said website, I have a couple of pictorial how-to's that have a few LEGO applications (it's more directed toward my other toy hobby, customizing 12" action figures). I am still rebuilding the site, though, and the pictorial with the most applicability to LEGO, decal making, is not complete yet. Here is a link anyway: Mimetic Gloss (customizing 1:6 & larger): http://home.att.net/~binky2k/index.htm and my LEGO proper site: binkyplastica: http://home.att.net/~lilia2k/index.htm Thanks again for the post.
