(...) The Little Forest Friends range also has a giant Spider. I can think of quite a few more Duplo animals missing off the list but I'll need to take the time to read through the other posts in this thread to see where we've got to! It would also (...) (23 years ago, 9-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) Is this the one that comes with the aquazone sets? If so, I think its accually an octopus. (...) I think these 2 are one and the same. (23 years ago, 9-Aug-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) Hi Mark! Mecha are an interesting phenomenon in that few Lego creations have more points of articulation. I'd suggest looking over Colin R. Gutierrez' building tips: (URL) These are the best tips I've come across thus far and my first couple (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) The "drive that works beyond [sic] the heliopause" is the actual stardrive. That's a different technology, a fictional one. The idea is that you have to use the pulse drives to get it to the point where the gravitation of the Sun is (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

I eventually ended up hopping to some other sites to learn about the Heliosphere :] (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

| | Aquazone contest?
|
|
I want to get a feel for how many people I could get to participate in an aquazone themed contest. If I can get at least five of you to respond to this and semi-commit to participate, I'll go for it. The contest would open within the next couple of (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

(...) Thanks! The actual Daedalus had big ol' fuel globes around the middle. I've sort of mingled and mangled my TAU and Daedalus references--they're different things, and Daedalus actually dates from the mid-1970s--but you can see the ship in (...)

I wish I could have done a better job with the pusher plates-- Daedalus, if (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

(...) Hi, Mark! Were I to give advice to someone just starting out (and I guess I am), I would tell them to start out in the 8-12 inch tall range. Make sure you have a good way to do the joints (most people these days use SW click hinges and technic (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Now if there was just more time in the day to explore ideas with legos. </me contemplates organic ships.> (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

My favorites, the origami mechs, are all about finding unique uses for standard parts...minifig hips and legs as fingers, for (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
