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):

and my LEGO proper site:
binkyplastica: http://home.att.net/~lilia2k/index.htm

Thanks again for the post.

Bianca

Hi Bianca (...) Ah, then the work has been worthwhile. :) (...) Granted. I've also had an offer from Redbean (Isaac Yue) to host an HTML version on his minifig customizing network website. I've given him permission to go ahead as his time permits. (...) (20 years ago, 2-Mar-05, to lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)
