(...) Now this is the neatest pictures I have seen so far. This is really interesting. You have a talent I wished I had as I love these old sets. How about a mini of the Constellation or the wild west set 365 or even the 354? I am going to have to (...) (17 years ago, 6-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.microscale)

(...) Not positive if this is what your thinking of, but in Issue 2 of Brickjournal (URL) on page 48 of that issue (which is page 50 of the pdf file) are building instructions for a mini USS Constellation. (URL) (17 years ago, 7-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

(...) Thanks, yes that is the one, now I'll have to build that one too. I really didn't like the minis except for star wars, but what a good idea to build the 1970 sets.

(...) I got my start in 1974 with the London Bus. A last minute Christmas present for my son. I was so amazed at the bus I went out on Christmas day to all the stores that were opened, like drug stores and grocery stores looking for Legos. There is (...)
