| | | I'm working on a module for the PNLTC display at GATS next year (in Feb) and I'm interested in building up a bit of a Lego landscape similar to the GMLTC modules. Now don't go thinking I've totaly abandoned plywood. I'm still a dyed-in-the-wool (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

Check it out here: (URL) careful up there at 5 bricks high-- you might need oxygen;-D -John (J-2) (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

IIRC, GMLTC uses 5 high towers, Mike P. uses 6 high. Both (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | | | (...) Pretty much it. The green bricks are your outside wall, and you tie into the wall every 5-6 bricks high. That is why you need the rim of 1x4s, to avoid "disturbing" the alternating binding appearance from the outside. It's a very clean and (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

The green base-plates at the NELUG's layout (it was NELUG I am (...) (23 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains.org)

| | | | | | Actually we had the green farm module before they were really selling green bricks in quantity. Before they were selling the green 2x4s in sets, about 100-150 of them followed me home from the model shop. (They let me keep all of my creations that (...)

Just the 22 brick high build-up, not all the structures & scenery on top of it? I'm trying to (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

| | | | I believe from my memory that I can build four 30"x45" modules with about 200 of the blue tubs. It would build 3 normal modules and one 2x4/2x6 hybrid module. The hybrid would use 2x4 for the walls and 2x2 for the towers, but use 2x6 for the lattice (...) (23 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
