I've gotten some interesting designs by swapping pieces bewteen SP1 and
Blacktron figures. Consider a figure with Blacktron torso, hands (I don't
normally remove arms), airpack, head, and visor, and Space Police helmet,
legs, and waist.

Have you ever accidentally broken off the hand to a Castle shield (e.g.
stepped on it)? The handles make nice mini-lasers. For a more impressive
weapon, I take a "nozzle" part like on Town fire extinguishers, and attach the
endpiece from an old-style hose. Another thing that works well is the "video
camera" piece--by adding parts, you can turn it into virtually infinite types
of weapons. (Turn it in different directions. Remember, there's two studs on
the side and one at the back...)

| (...) The coolest design I've come up with is to take a Spyrius torso (they are one of the best Space torsos) and give it blue hands and blue hips and a black helmet with red visor. It makes a really cool looking SPI minifig. Greg Majewski (URL) (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.space)
