    ^ Fantastic collection. Next you’ll have to work on the new medium legs Lego have just introduced... will it ever end?! ? I’ve now got 27 complete and two partly complete. I need medium lavendar legs and light aqua arms, but I can’t bring myself to pay for the full figures just to dismember them!

    Yeah, that’s what I was going to suggest too, although I actually used parademon head and hands, with fire suit torso assembly and legs - it just worked out better this way for me with BrickLink orders I already had open.

    Wow, some great colours there! I think I’ll go for Dark Orange next. Doctor Phosphorus is great but I think I’ll wait for the hips to appear in that colour before I go ahead with him. Wiping legs is a bit of a challenge, I’ve found too. I’m not using Brasso, I find I get good results using a simple pencil eraser and you can also get right into the creases of the legs too. For stubborn printing, I use a bit of water with it which seems to keep it shiny. I’ve also heard that 3000 grit wet and dry paper leaves a great shiny finish with no remnants of the printing to be seen, but I have yet to try this. Now that I have enough figs completed that it actually looks like a collection I think I’m going to slow things down a bit. I have a tendency to get a bit carried away at the beginning, so I’ll heed your advice and try to be patient ? Here’s how it looks so far, the Bright Light Orange is missing hands as the seller forgot to put them in the bag, but I should be receiving them soon.

    Thanks! Yes I’ve just submitted a few rather large orders on Bricklink which should provide me with about 5 more complete figs -patience isn’t my strongest point ?, but I’m going to have to slow it down some now I’m getting to the less common colours! Yes first post here indeed, I’m more of a lurker than a poster I’m afraid, but I’ll head over and introduce myself on the other thread. Thanks for the warm welcome ?

    Hello monochrome fans. I’ve just recently started down this rabbit hole too... I’ve completed some of the easier figures and I’m not against wiping parts. I'm now planning to move onto some more of the brighter colours - greens, oranges and pinks etc, but trying to find the parts on Bricklink is challenging - it looks like I’ll be spending more on postage than the parts themselves! I’m quite enjoying the challenge of finding the individual parts, but can’t help feeling there is a more efficient way of doing things. I really wish I hadn’t missed out on the ebook guide when it was freely available as I could probably use the help but $50 seems a bit steep! Well done to those that got screen shots ?? Anyway, here’s my progress so far, with the addition of a dark pink to be added once the postman has been ;)
