I am very suprised that you would do this and, I think everyone here at MCN could learn a thing or two from you. Keep up the kind hearted work and I love the silver. It is a delux addition, just as viking said. People *can't* read, People *can't* spell, but people *can* bicker about what other people can't do.

I thank you, asherpotter, for being such an outstanding member of our community and a good person. Currently, I am unable to bid on the auction (otherwise I certainly would), but I will do what I can - promote the topic to the front page. It's a great custom and I am sure it will do nicely on eBay. - Unknown Artist, Moderator of MCN Unknown Artist Studio \| MOCpages \| B-Shelf

But I hope you get a lot of proceeds, and that people follow in his example. The Brickshelf (It works now) *Yaaargh!* *My email is not valid (I don't want*

Joined: 2005-08-22 Posts: 169	Wow... How in the world did this get resurrected? Anyways, joejoe8151, I used a dremel tool with a very smal bit at first on the side of the fig just under the other original hole and gradually moved to larger bits. Then I cut off two-thirds of the top of the legs and glued them to the fig and it is still fully posable. For those who want to know, someone in Maine bought it for $51.00.
