  LEGO Linux Penguin
 
Folks, I can't remember if it was on rec.toys.lego or LUGnet, but someone mentioned wanting to construct a LEGO version of the Linux Penguin mascot. I submit my 2 foot tall creation: (URL) Harshbarger / eric@ericharshbarger.org / (...) (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

(...) Believe me Scott, you get more trains in stores in the UK - including Scotland - then we do in N America! I looked, this summer, and they were there. Kevin (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

(...) Yes, me ! I'll be graduating in 3 weeks and I couldn't resist :) The picture doesn't show much, I'd need to take a look from other angles to give a better opinion. :) Any DAT files around ? Leonardo (25 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.build)

Hey, all-- I've had a few requests to get .jpgs of my destroyers up, and it's done.

  Re: No trains in 2000!!!!!!
 
(...) Calm down Tobias! There is a train in teh 2000 catalog Kevin scanned, it's the 4561. All the rest of the train line is in the "Lego Direct" leaflet that he also scanned. All that means is that TLG sells only the 4561 in stores in No America, (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)
 
  No trains in 2000!!!!!!
 
Aaargh, just when I want to build my own town I see that there´s no trains in the 2000 catalogue! Stupid TLG, discontinue the trains when I want them so baad! Now I´ll have to buy them in auctions and stuff. I´d better buy a *lot* of track and all (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general, lugnet.trains)

  Re: 5542????
 
The black train windows came from a 4559 which has 4. Also, you might think of getting 2 5542's if you want to make one in all black. Most of the yellow pieces also occur in black in that set, so 2 should allow you to substitute most of the yellow (...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.build)

  Re: All black 5542
 
What I think is coolest about this is that the 5542 is really "correct minifig scale" rather than the usual tiny toy choppers the figs are stuck using... I may convert to 8 wide trains yet. (naaaa...) (25 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.publish, lugnet.modelteam)

(...) I've built the shuttle twice. But I spend about 2hrs sorting peices beforehand (I've never mixed it with the rest of the collection) and maybe 8hrs building. And yes those fiddly little black bits get me every time. James from Oz (25 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.build)

  Re: All black 5542
 
Dang, now I'm going to have to buy another 5542, and dig out my black train windows ;-) How about closeups of the minigun? Is the minifig holding it, or is it mounted? It looks neat, I'm trying to think up different ways to swivelmount it with what (...) (25 years ago, 13-Nov-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.publish, lugnet.modelteam)
