I knew there was a reason I brought my LEGO collection home for break besides
sorting the miscellaneous parts...
This may come as a bit of an anticlimax after the Diablo, but I just finished
a Miniland scale (12 wide) rendition of the time machine from the Back to the

flight like they're supposed to. An old 9V motor drives the fiberoptic system
on the back, so the fiberoptics light almost simultaneously. The gull wing
doors open to reveal the electronics-cluttered interior, including the box for
the ?flux capacitor? between the seats.

| Great work Bram! I'd love to see this thing in person some time (the Diablo too) I'm hoping we can get together some time in the near future at Troy's place and have another buildathon. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

| (...) Excellent! Dude, you make me want to run out an buy a kit with fibre optics just to try something similar! (...) Maybe (to you), but it was instantly recognizable to me as soon as I saw the thumbnails, so it can't be THAT far off (speaking of (...) (24 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)
