(...) I've finished up an alternate model for combining sets 5956 - expedition balloon and 5958 - mummy's tomb. It's an anti-aircraft truck (would have been a half-track if any adventurer sets had tracks). Right now I have the .dat file but I'm (...) (25 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

Now I'm going to have to dig out my Chichen-Itza photos...I've been meaning to have the negatives scanned. I'd probably (...) (25 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.adventurers)

(...) Thanks for the props Joseph. And yes Verne did write "Journey to the Center of the Earth". I know this is a real stretch for this theme, but didn't Verne also write a story about a circa 1900 mission to the moon? Maybe it was Doyle...I am not (...)
