First of all, I want to thank everyone who sent me feedback on my ship and for the Cool Lego Site Of The Week review. But now, It was time to build again. Take a look at my newest creation: (URL) would be greatly appreciated. Dan (25 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.build)

It's an interesting point you have made with seeing the colour you want. I sort basic bricks by colour and everything else by form. The reason that I sort basic bricks by colour is because I don't look at them, so seeing the colour doesn't work. I (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-99, to lugnet.build)
