LuxorV Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 This is interesting news, DLuders. Thanks for sharing. I just took the freedom of removing the last line of the add (presumably copied from the editors website): let's not overkill in the advertising Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Indeed a very interesting find, thanks for sharing this DLuders! It looks to be a very good reference material for all aspiring minifig customizers, I might have to grab one of these to hone my skills in this craft. Quote

Leper Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I got my digital copy today, waiting on the print. I havent read through the whole thing but it looks really good. Some of it is just the old brickjournal pages but it has been updated and its always nice to have something to go to especially for people new to customizing. Quote
Puck Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Thanks for the news DLuders! I'm going to have to get one myself to improve my skills in this art Quote
