Andrew,
I googled him, and turned up http://home.online.no/~selode/, where he
has another email address. Perhaps you wnat to try him there. I am
intrigued by his stair crawler.
I knew how younger sisters could destroy Lego ambitions, but have not
experienced a cat doing the same. These days, my only worry is my wife
trying to dust around stuff and knocking it over. The lesson is to try
not to leave things balanced in any way precariously, people who do
not build stuff themselves seriously do not understand the amount of
effort it takes, and the upset it causes to see stuff in pieces on the
floor.. Take it as accepted that if someone could easily knock it to
the floor and destroy it, they probably will- thus making sure its not
near any edges, that if it is fragile you have placed a box over it
(which is what I do) or put it in a display cabinet if you are
displaying it.
