Easy, use Megablocks. Then you don't care how bad you melt, beat, cut, hack, dismember, burn, discolor, paint, etc... Or, if you're me, do it from Lego just to hear the screams of purists...

(...) Reinhard, that is both cool and incredibly sad at the same time. Cool to see how plastic melts and deforms under its own weight, but incredibly sad to see it happen to LEGO pieces. Especially how that poor minifig started melting in his legs (...) (21 years ago, 28-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.off-topic.fun, FTX)
