    MOT (My Own Theme): Chemistry Grad School —Bruce Hietbrink
   Hi all, I've developed my own whole theme - a Lego version of graduate school in organic chemistry. With an architectural concept based on the Harry Potter theme, I've got various modules which stack together in a variety of ways to create a whole (...)

     (...) Heehee! Seriously though, your site just gave me the laughs I needed at the end of my workday (woop! uh, not that I'd ever browse Lugnet while at work... no, not me...) I love the bathroom stall. Classic! And of course your prices are very (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.town)

     (...) Um, yeah, me neither . . . (...) The bathroom design owes a lot to Drew Dirschell: (URL) I got the "Troll on the Loose" set my SO complained that there was no toilet. I had recently seen Drew's work, so I built the stall. Later I incorporated (...) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.town)
    
         Re: MOT (My Own Theme): Chemistry Grad School —John P. Henderson
     (...) That would be cool! (...) I was never in a frat either. I was thinking that such things would be appropriate, however, because in TLC sets they seem to show up in odd places just so that a set can be more exciting. I figured where else on a (...)

     (...) Good point. Or a snake popping out at you. It seems like every other Western set has one of those (the others have exploding safes). Bruce (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.town)

     (...) Bruce, Great theme you having going here! Gave me some laughs as well. I like the various cabinets in the Research Lab and the toilet design is good. Well keep up the theming! ciao&salaam -Andrew GardenSLUG (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.town)
    
         Re: MOT (My Own Theme): Chemistry Grad School —Bruce Hietbrink
     (...) Thanks. As I noted above, the toilet was inspired by Drew Dirshell's. I also got the file cabinet idea from Gary Thomas: (URL) (22 years ago, 9-Apr-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.town)

     I should be able to make it to the LUGOLA meeting. If not, we could meet up afterwards. I have a few new MOCs too. I look forward to seeing it! -Bruce LEGO @ Bruce's Homepage - (URL) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.harrypotter, lugnet.town)
