(...) I can see both sides of this, but I'm more swayed by 'selective compression', as Larry mentioned. For example-- Jeff VW set up his harbour cranes at a few of our train shows-- (URL) the 'standard' 4x8xwhatever freight containers. The cranes (...)

(...) While on one side I'd say that you're right here, on the other hand some things in proper proportions can get a point across much better. (URL) you've ever seen a real terminal, you'll know it's really overwhelming. I think using 4*6 or 4*8 (...) (21 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.trains)

(...) I agree with Larry here (...) Larry introduced me to this term/concept and this is what I had in mind. The container size is the key. The model seems to have 5 rows of 2-wide containers and you would want 4-wide which IIRC is what the train (...) (21 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) (snip) (...) Well, that's sharp and all, but I think building to scale really misses the point. That container's 8 wide! I prefer my scenes more packed with detail rather than doing one 10 foot long ship so that I can fit my to scale (...) (21 years ago, 19-May-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.boats, lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hi Bryan, I agree with you that this model looks much better with the stickers. But the stickers are damaged. I hope to get new stickers from Lego service... right now everyone I know who has built this set has the same problems with the (...) (21 years ago, 19-May-04, to lugnet.boats, FTX)

(...) Thanks for posting these. My copies haven't arrived yet. I am initially a little disappointed at the inclusion of thin walls instead of bricks in the Maersk blue color....but, that may change when I receive my copies of the set. Of course, I (...)
