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... It's even more effective when you have an ACTUAL live audiaence! Mwwwwaaaaaaahahahahaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heat guns works good. Haven't tried boiling them or putting them in a conventional oven (not microwave). you may also use a torch. Then try some creative ways to paint rust colors via sparay paint or an airbrush.

Why buy the book when you can read it AT the bookstore! -Rob "Kevin Salm" <kdsalm@dreamscape.com> wrote in message news:HnFIxr.HuF@lugnet.com... > Hi.

(...) Careful with doing that. I've been told that ABS has some unhealthy byproducts when burned. Ray (enjoying the fun so long as we all stay well and play well) (21 years ago, 28-Oct-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
