(...) Well yeah... but it would be interesting to build one of the correct _physical_ proportions, if only to say that you did it. (As has been established, this works out to 2 studs wide, 8 studs across, and 15 brick-heights high.) (...) Yes... (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) 1 4 9 ?? where have I heard that before?... I had no idea it was 1 4 9 ! OK, seriously. What I'm driving at is that if you want to do it in bricks and do it the easy way, studs up, the dimensions I gave for bricks of 2x8x15 high convert to 40 (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.build)
