How about modeling the armour and placing a minifig head on it? That way, you
won't have to build around the minifig.
That's the way I build all my big, evil positronic invaders from Alpha
Centauri...
Added bonus: shooting them to bits N' pieces does not involve mutilating a
minifig body...

Yeah, that kind of armour (Terminator Squad) is pretty hard to model around a
mini-fig.

Oh yeah, check this out: http://tor-pw1.netcom.ca/~milovan/XRQHS.htm

I don't know if this what you mean by armour, but it's close enough!

It's funny, I was just looking at pics of that shortly before I posted what I
did...

I've done exoskeletons like this before, too.  For example:

Armor of the type I'm talking about being hard to model in minifig scale can • be
seen at:

Scroll down until you see the bit about "Terminator Squads".  Pretty much
impossible, given the constraints of the minifig and Lego bricks.

Yeah I already did that: (URL) so have many, many, *many* people here on LUGNET. But it is still not *true* armour. (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
