Lenny is always giving me grief for not posting pictures of my stuff. Well, the other night I threw this together and somehow managed to take a picture of it:

Oh no!

It’s not exactly a masterpiece, but I think it’s kind of cute.

(...) It's a masterpiece of it's own, Derek. And it IS cute, especialy the smoke :-) Leg Godt! René (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) LOL! That is great!! He must have been smoking in bed!! The smoke is the best part, making it out of LEGO instead of 'cheating' (use cotton balls like I do) really adds a nice touch! Nathan Lord of the LEGO (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Smoke is nicely done, plus the bucket of water being trown at the fire is really cute. The whole thing deserves to be seen! Maybe a couple more people working with the little fellow would be even better. Terry (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

		Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
(...) Sometimes the best stuff is the simple stuff! I think your creation is wonderful! Like others have already said, the use of white 2x2 round bricks for smoke and the trans-lt blue flame (for water, ironically) is brilliant! And you gotta love (...)

		Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
(...) This is great! Like others have said, the smoke and the bucket of water are both awesome, as are some of the shapes you made from the flame pieces. You gotta bring that to brickfest, and see if the fire spreads ;) -Dan Rubin (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Will we see this at a futre LUGOLA meeting? Josh (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Hey Derek, good job! If your overly concerned about the fragility of the smoke... You COULD always glue it (or is that cheating?) :) Bill (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

		Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
(...) I like it, especially the smoke!! Last week I made a similar CCC house on fire: (URL) made a small fire "engine" with people pumping water (yes, a blue flame for water...). We displayed it at Marcon (show report will follow soon). Next time I (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

		Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
(...) Cute, I wish I could think of cute like that. Why can I see this popiing up on Train and town layouts all over the place.:) All it needs is some gauking onlookers standing around, getting in the way Aaron A who is now reconsidering what to do (...)

		Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
(...) And yet you only posted ONE PICTURE, d'oh! But I'm glad to see this posted and I'm glad you're coming to BrickFest! Now, all you have to do is take pictures of everything you brought to PDX and post that. heheheh (...) It's wonderful! I has (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

		Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
You're right, it is cute. I like that design. I probably won't steal it though, the smoke is a little dense for me. Hurts my lungs to try to breathe that in. That mini-figure is going to need a trip to the healer, or the apothocary at the very (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

		Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
(...) Oh that is so sweet. I really like the design and the smoke. Truly a classic. I just hope you got your mother out of there before it went up in smoke. (20 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

		Re: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! (A CCC building)
(...) Great MOC Derek! Love the smoke, and the Minifig. I think I'll have to borrow that look for the smoke. Add a few trans 2x2 and then you can do a smoke message in an Indian village... :) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
