| That looks pretty cool Kevin, The town looks like it goes on forever! The only thing I might suggest is to try to turn the buildings so that the front's go the same way. For instance, if all the building's faced north or west, you could take a (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jul-01, to lugnet.town)

Its good to hear that there is someone else that builds the building first and names it later. I almost never know (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

If you want to save money, then buy up sets at 50% discount. You can (...) (24 years ago, 21-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle)

| | Does anyone have Paradisa style windows?

| Hi, I'm new to LDRAW building. I noticed that there are no official Paradisa window parts. These include the 1x4x5 clear windows that curve at the top. These can be found in the Sand Dollar Cafe set. Alos, there are "corner" versions of these (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Similar to the Armada Flagship for $99 when it first came out at Kmart, then they made it front page catalog material (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jun-03, to lugnet.loc.au)

There is something called "angle" that actually controls the the type of "lense" that you are using (i.e. a wide angle verses a telephoto). These settings are independent. The angle (...)

So, since I never get GB/Myer catalogs, if it turns out they do have it at 1/2 price (or thereabouts) for Christmas sales, the first person (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jul-03, to lugnet.loc.au)
