So here she is at long last, (for me that is) The Heart of Gold, but I am
sure you’ve figured that much out already. No, it’s not the right size to be
minfig scale but it would need to be six times the size to fit that
criterion. It’s my first fully detailed interior, my first fig mod (I decided
not to butcher another minifig for Zaphod’s spacesuit, and my first running
shoe MOC? Enjoy thie pics folks and as always....LMKWYT

This is gold...pure gold. It’s completely zany in it’s conception to it final
form, doing Hitchhiker’s proud. The shape is just phenomenal. Normally I’m not
a big fan of sculptured hulls for minifig scale stuff, but this really works
well. The little details are amazing as well..the shoe tread, the instep curves
and even using the macaroni bricks to do the interior walls in that 60’s curve.
And Breeblebox’s fig literally made me laugh out loud.
Amazing stuff, Nathan.
Cheers,
