We all know how handy the LEGO brick separators are. I was wondering if people have modified these tools, or developed their own custom tools for removing bricks? I have heard of (but not seen) AFOLs modifying the end of separators to work on single (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jun-07, to lugnet.build)

Unless you're building in a very large scale, LEGO can only approximate real life. Don't worry about it; the aircraft looks good. The wings interest me. Why are they studs down on the ends? (17 years ago, 13-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.military)
