| (...) Cool! Someone else who knows McCloud (and Aragones!). D'you know, I've owned that book for years, and never made the connection to it being useful in thinking about Lego? Silly me... Anyway, well done, Erik. This is a usefully (...) (20 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

|
| Anybody got an idea of how the headphones were made at the (URL) podbrix> website? I was thinking of trying to make my own 1x2 tile iPod for my minifigs to use. Thanks, James Wilson Dallas, TX (20 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

| (...) Ooh good thought. What might be even neater is if the blade itself is removable, so that when you put the blade in, it lights up. That would be even more movie-realistic. ~Kevoh (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space, lugnet.parts.mod)

| (...) 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)
| | | | 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)

| OK! I finished the second batch and even fit in tweaking some series one faces. I now have a whopping 51 unique faces (12 are alternate faces, so 39 unique figs). You guys raise some excellent points. First, the technical stuff about decal paper at (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.mod)

| Hi Norbert, I went through all of these when they came up on Brickshelf and they're really great work. I think the most impressive details are the braided hair on some of the anime figs, but all of the paint and customized head/headwear jobs are (...)

| Hello to one and all I thought that there might be some interest in the images of my customized minifigures now up on Brickshelf. Over the holidays, I was very busy with a friend's scanner, getting "record shots" of the majority of my custom work. (...)
