Hi, everybody! I'd like to announce my latest addition to my LEGO Manhattan... I've built a whole new city modeled after Greenwich Village. There are about 15 different buildings in the city, each of which has its own page, and over 75 pictures in (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town) !!

(...) <snip> Someone clued me in to this (the gallery on BS) before your announcment and I've been spending a good part of the afternoon drooling. Wow. There are just so many nifty details, I am hard pressed to pick a fave, but i am very partial to (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.town)

(...) Hi Sean, I was looking at these durning lunch. Very nice. You've captured the 'feel' quite nicely....I will be walking out into that 'feel' in a few moments. I really liked the cornices and all the signage as well. You've gotten a lot of (...) (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.town)

(...) Time *was* passing! :) Chalk it up to "happy accident"... those pictures were taken across 6 months, from July to December 2002. I'd planned ahead, knowing that I wanted to make this time-lapse animation from the very beginning. I took a (...) (22 years ago, 19-Mar-03, to lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks! A lot of the buildings I built for this city have little "histories", because all real-life buildings do too. Old buildings that have been around longer than any man or woman alive go through changes; they are affected by differnent (...) (22 years ago, 19-Mar-03, to lugnet.town)
