(...) Toothbrushes can leave noticeable scratches on the surface of like-new bricks. "Static dusters" (as seen on TV! (tm)) work much better: no scratching, they can be used wet or dry, and they can cover a lot more area quickly. Steve (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

I just got my new Digital Camera (Kodak DC240). I will try to build the transmission with the pneumatics. Anyway, I made a thing that turned it from straight to turned, geared down, and back to straight. It just adds a way to shift it, and it also (...)

I finally got time to organize all the Advent Calendar photos. It was hard to come up with creative models with just 6-8 pieces, but it was fun! Thanks to Thomas Main for the idea and starting it all! Please smile if you enjoy the photos. :o) (URL) (25 years ago, 28-Dec-99, to lugnet.build)

Do you have a big lego model, that´s covered with dust between the studs? then, you need a toothbrush! A toothbrush is great! Remember, angle the brush, use soft, gentle brushes. It´s like brushing your own teeth. It´s a pretty slow method, but it (...) (25 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
