I think this was a great build. I like the green. but the legs could have been custom made. You should have made one using only your own ideas. Overall , 8 out of 10. (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Here are a few pics of my Northwest Artifact (Totem Pole). It is 6 feet tall, has a 7-1/2 foot wingspan and uses about 20,000 bricks and plates. The technology I developed to enable such massive (and thin) wings is called Plywood and Staples. The (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX) !!

Impressive! I have never even attempted a sculpture (I feel like an dinosaur on Lugnet now ; ) but this still looks very tricky... I love the sharpness of the line itself, and the figs at the base really make it. Thanks for sharing and God Bless, (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

(...) David, I want to see pictures of the fig leaf that you built to cover it. ;-) Seriously, how did you transport it? Did you split it into sections or did you move it whole? Also, how thick are the walls? Having never built anything to that (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

I think if you had worked out some sort of studless super SNOT construction it just wouldn't work. As a matter of (...) (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

Hello! That's cool. That looks like a large Schultüte. (What's a Schultüte? Look it up here: (URL) at LEO.org>) And it's another tower that's taller than mine. Sighs. The naked mini... erm... bigfigs = sculptures are great, too. Bye Jojo (18 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.build.sculpture, FTX)

At (URL) NWBrickCon2006> I showed my first ever multi-colored sculpture. It was a part of the moonbase display. It was an 8 foot tall cone with a bulging red stripe spiraling up the side. But the red stripe is structural. Its not just tacked on the (...)
