Cheers indeed, Wes. As in three cheers for Wes. Hip Hip Hooray, etc.
I don't even have to look at the pics that you've posted of your creations
to be enthusiastic about your hybridization of system, technic, and belville
themes since I've always thought that the Belville figures compliment the
Technic vehicles so well. At least they seem like they would from the
catalog. As I've had to limit my collecting recently to the Star Wars theme
because of financial limitations, I haven't been able to try it out but you
can bet that i plan on it. Either way, it'd be nice to see lego release
some sets that would officially bridge the gap between the Belville and
technic themes. Technic in pastels, anyone? Again, I have to refer anybody
who comes upon this thread to my posting to lugnet.general #28601 as it's
subject matter is entirely relevent to what's being discussed here.
