I was just wondering.... I know that most of you folks build on the minifig scale (5 brick high doors) using all those "wonderful" (sarcastic) minifigs. Is there anyone else who builds primarily on the classic scale (3 brick high doors - sort of the (...) (25 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) I've built some stuff on the 2 bricks=1 story scale. Not much, just some post-modern office buildings. The problem many of us face is that we only have parts to support building at the 5- or 6-bricks per story scale. Steve (25 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

I'd like to post the skyscraper I designed to lugnet.cad.dat: (URL) MPD file is approx. 100 Kb. That's not too big to post, is it? The skyscraper that (loosely) inspired the model is in downtown Chicago near Grant Park (I think) Does anyone know the (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad)

(...) I found the name! It's the New Pudential Building in downtown Chicago. When I went to Chicago a few years ago, I liked the design of the building because it was somewhat original. A month or so later, I was finally figuring out how LDraw (...) (25 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad)

(...) You're right. I have about 200 of the older grey road plates (the 1980's ones without the sidwalk/bikepath. They really are better suited to the classic scale LEGO town. Interestingly enough, the roadway width is about the same as the 1960's (...) (25 years ago, 15-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)
