This is my latest creation - small, but pretty cool, if I do say so myself.
I’ve made it for the VLC’s Show in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.
If you’re in the area, please drop by - check out
the Surrey Museum website for more info.
Here’s a pic of the mailbox - pretty basic. You might notice that there are
studs on the bottom - I’ll have to work on that, but at least you can still
mount it on a baseplate, just not actually connected.
Now it gets slightly more interesting - the mail slot opens:
After quite a while of fiddling, I got it so it would hold three Lego envelope
tiles (which I unfortunately don’t even own) :) Here’s a view with the sides
taken off:
The LDraw file (if you need it) can be found at
the BS Folder.
Enjoy, and please leave your comments,
Jeffery MacEachern

| ...Well, maybe NOT resolved, but it works for me!! I really liked your idea, Jeff and decided to try it out. The result is included in this "Joe Vig" vignette: (URL) All I did was to turn the (black) 1x1x1 brick with stud on all sides so that it's (...) (18 years ago, 23-May-06, to lugnet.town, FTX)
