Nothing is too hard when LEGO is involved!  Maybe that'll be my next project.
Now that I've finished the P-51, I just have to take more pictures of it, and I
need another project.  It may well be a wraith.  Cool...

probably not be too hard to make, at least on a micro (or nano) fig scale.
(And no getting into discussions about micro/mini/nano/etc again!)
