| All: Well, after building some tiny NYC landmarks, I decided to make some tiny cars to go with them. Tiny cars: (URL) all about 2x4 studs.)

| Hey. I had to look at the MTA bus first! * These are becoming "cartoon scale" - not really a scale at all, but a style. Still very bricky. I can't get over how the SW minis are so not bricky. -Erik (...) exactly from my home, to Target (College Pt), (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.build)
