Question:
Does anyone have an extra yellow hard hat like the one included in the
Vietnam Combat Engineer Mission Gear set? I outfitted one of my Joe's with
the clothes and accessories from the Construction Jack Carpenter (can't
stand the silly grin on the original figure's face) and the hard hat looks
WAY too small.
Have some modern Hasbro bits and pieces, carded and boxed figures, etc. for
trade or will do $$.
Answer:
I don't know if you got my email yesterday I sent it from work and some
messages just disappear and never get sent.
I have the Yellow hardhat I believe its from the 21st Vietnam Engineer set
(I can send you a pic).
I am trying to kitbash a field geologist so any of the following items would
be nice for a trade.
Handheld GPS
Compass
Map Case
Rock Hammer (or something similar that I can adjust)
small book (field book)
Survey Equipment.
or
Realistic looking Lugar, Walther HPor Mauser Broomhandle machine pistol for
my AT guys
If you don't have anything to trade don't worry about it I will sent the
hardhat anyway.
Let me get this straight---are you suggesting LEGO continue with male
cops and hard-hat workers, and balance this with a "Mall Selection"?
Point of information: if you can tell just by looking at someone's
eyelashes that's she's not a man, then she has makeup on. Lots of it.
At least on her eyelids.
Now the question is, if you see a minifig with long eyelashes and a
bald yellow head wearing a hard hat, what is it? Sinead O'Connor or
Boy George?
So when Mom goes off in the morning to pour concrete, she gets a buzz
cut, but when she comes home it all magically grows out again? Or
does she just shave around the back of her head but let it grow out of
the top, so she can tuck it all into her hard hat on the way to work?
So here's Karr's Hardhat Challenge: Design a minifig, dressed as a
construction worker (hard hat and overalls), that is obviously female
and continues to look as feminine (and like the same person) after the
hat comes off.
It can be done, of course. I'm not saying it can't. In fact, I said
earlier that it can, I'm just quibbling with one person's proposed
solution. It's just a question of which design compromises you're
going to make. The next question is, would you like to purchase such
a minifigure rather than others that have been made by LEGO? Why or
why not?
