  Re: Boat Motor
 
(...) I don't know if that will work. I'm not sure if a single 2x2 set of dots will stick to the hull given than the motor is pushing an inch down from where that piece is. Of course, the motor doesn't put out a lot of force, but it might not stick (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-05, to lugnet.boats, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

  Boat Motor
 
Anyone know if the New boat motor in [LEGOSet 4669] or [LEGOSet 7244] can be attached to the botton of, and provide enough ballast to, the old boats like [LEGOSet 3111] that use the ballast weight to replace the ballast weight?

  Re: Microscale battleship
 
Thanks guys, I'm guessing that the "military" theme was the problem. I didn't start working on it until after the other non 16-square designs had been accepted (16x16 area... wow, if you are going to have non-lego® lawyers write your rules you could (...)

  Re: Microscale battleship
 
Matthias, Nice work, do you know why it was rejected?? Seems a little odd to me, as 8x32 designs have been allowed in the Lego Factory contest. And... I agree, we need more of these, I may even try my hand at one of these :) Thanks for sharing. Mark (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.boats, FTX)
