Greetings again. Now that I've gotten the stuff about bonding lego down, it's time for another question! What is the best thing to cut it with? I know that tinsnips work well on things like spears, but I can't figure out how to cut intricate parts. (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.build)

(...) Thanks for the compliment. I just looked at Brickshelf & saw the other cornice. Very impressive. I think I'll be borrowing it at some point. The dark grey seems to mellow out the bright green nicely. great job. Jonathan (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)
