Re: A most unepected greeblie source

I used red 'tea lights' as proton torpedoes for our local 501st Death Star Trench Run exhibit. You can see more about that at http://amazingscifi.com/trench_run.html

I also found some that can change color by remote control, which I bought just because the innards seemed potentially useful.

Re: What are your favorite greebles ???

I find my son's toy boxes very helpful. He has accumulated a lot of broken toys over the years, which I often cannibalize once they are discarded. Also, lego has many interesting specialized shapes these days.

Magnets can also make useful clamps, where ordinary clamps cannot reach. I used them a lot building a suit of stormtrooper armor.

Yikes! Well, technically, both would be accurate in this case, since the stars cover all of her shorts.

I learn all sorts of things in this forum.

How can I paint really tiny stars?

I am painting a 1/25th scale Wonder Woman, and I need to paint her star-spangled fanny. Does anyone have any ideas for how I might paint stars that small?
