		Re: Cutting tracks?
(...) NO! Only my opinon, but the tool of choice is not a Dremel. If you do not already own a hand held rotary tool, I recommend a Black & Decker multi-speed. These are cheaper, more reliable, and most importantly they have a lower RPM and better (...) (21 years ago, 20-May-05, to lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

		Re: A primer on making custom elements
(...) Brilliant! What a fantastic write up and what a nice glimpse of your true skill. Originating entirely new sculpted parts and then working them to a "Lego like" finish is great. And important as far as I'm concerned. If people really need to (...) (22 years ago, 27-Feb-05, to lugnet.parts.custom, lugnet.parts.mod, FTX)

		Re: Glueing old lego
(...) Yeah the Legoland California Modelshop still uses the MEK/ABS mixture. From what I have heard, all the other modelshops have switched to the new glue. The LEGO company feels MEK is too dangerous for employees to use, but some parks have been (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Glueing old lego
IIRC, the model builders no longer use MEK (although I still do). If anyone has any information as to what the model builders are now using, please let me know. MEK is dangerous and too much contact with the fumes makes you do strange things like (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

		Re: Glueing old lego
(...) I don't find any MEK in my neighborhood hardware store. Instead I bought a bottle of methylene chloride from a model shop specifically for mending broken Lego. Doesn't work too good, apparently. But this thing is good enough for closing the (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Announcing new Legend!

		Re: Custom Curved Switch in our layout

		Re: Fwd from a builder: Colors don't match, among other things!
(...) I kinda agree. A slight variation in color will make things look beter. Mechs, for instance, will look dirtier if two different shades are used. And it will add to "brick" effects on buildings. But, over all, I like the old stuff better. It (...) (23 years ago, 15-Nov-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
