(...) Oh, I forgot about 1:76 scale. Some of the newer HOish scale military models are 1:76. I'm starting to remember that 1:72 scale came about because it was a little difficult to make some of the model railroading equipment at 1:76 or 1:87 scale, (...)

There's an interesting model in this month's Theme Gallery on Lego's site. It's called Pardoes, made by "Spierings" - a 15 yo from the Netherlands. I like it a lot; it's a juggler/joker character with floppy hat and curled up toes. Does anyone know (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.build)
