Hello everyone. My name is Norbert Black (I'm posting via Deborah's account while my Lugnet authentication goes through), and I've been painting and otherwise modifying minifigs for about a decade now. I'm a member of ParLUGment, the Ottawa AFOL (...) (20 years ago, 13-Nov-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.mod, lugnet.org.ca.parlugment, FTX) !

If you could convince him to post, perhaps to explain how he did the pink hair with the bouffant curlunder that would be swell. Toot toot (er, (...) (20 years ago, 7-Nov-04, to lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

(...) I think with a red/green bi-colour LED you can get any colour between the two by varying the mark/space ratio of the alternating waveform. A DCC controller varies the mark/space ratio of a square wave in order to drive the motor at different (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.parts.mod)
