| With a little modification of a 2x2 round plate, you get an excellent Moon helmet... (URL) as slim as a normal helmet, perhaps, but it's more like what your typical cartoon Mars helmet looks like. ~Mike (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)

| How do you get the minifig's round neck to go through the + shaped hole in the 2X2 round plate? Is it maybe something that can only be done in CAD? (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)

| (...) Mike specified that it required the modification of the 2x2 round plate. A correctly sized drill bit would open the axle hole up to a circular stud sized hole. Seems like an easy enough, and unnoticable enough modification to be doable by all (...) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)

| Here we go again, another great debate on purists and non-purists. It's kind of funny the way we (I include myself, i'm no different than the rest of you) see and use lego parts as if they had something holy in them :-) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs, FTX)

| My bad. I didn't notice the part where it says that the 2X2 round plate is modified. (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)
