Thread: Lego

i have has a little experience in destroying Lego... for finishing just sand at a low speed or even with the lathe off and turn by hand as the heat will make it next to impossible. if you want a smooth finished i got best results by using some plastic sheet (plastic bag from memory or it might have been pond lining) around my finger and a drop or 2 of acetone and smoothing around the Lego/exLego this will melt the face of it and along and your steady and have no creases in the bag you het an "ok" effect, i haven’t used polishes on it so that might be another option..


nor i really want to inlay a lego man in a pen....

Not as silly as it seems TL, I reckon you could thread some of those heads over a slimline or sierra and then cast.

the cast may not be required depending on the look your going for and its already been done! (but the example below is rather ugly...)

If you want to turn Lego you need the right tools, like a Lego lathe

Scott, the beauty of Lego is that it is modular. No need to cast just push the heads onto a Lego pen.
