I've added a few more spaceships to my web page. These were constructed (and photographed) nearly a decade ago when I was still at school. More recent MOCs will come when I get hold of a digital camera... (URL) well everyone, Paul (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) I actually got a chance to be a model builder for a couple of hours when I visited Enfield with John Kelly. Yea, it was fun, but I don't think I'd want to do it for long. Building several hundred (or more) copies of the exact same model gets (...) (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) This very apparent to anyone who has looked at Lego's parts pack selections in the 60's and 70's. In 1963 there were over 138 different parts packs available. What is it today, less than 20? Gary Istok (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) From what I remember reading, of the 35 model builders in Enfield, all but 9 got dismissed with this years downsizing. Can you imagine being a model builder for 20 years, and suddenly have to go out and get a real job? What else are you (...) (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

|
I built the 8448 last week. Clever set, fun to build. Last night I picked it up, and the gull-wing doors wouldn't open. Turns out the new 'pneumatic'/'hydraulic' cylinders were both broken, the springs had pushed down into the cylinders. Apparently, (...) (27 years ago, 18-Aug-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

(...) i've been a fanatic to get one of these for quite a while because of the size of the model (it's the biggest of the floating boats along with the 4031-fire rescue) and i like the "commerce" sense of the model (rather than being a police, fire, (...)
