| Cool idea. I think I tend to be overly anal about correct color matching, so I often overlook the use of multi-colored "scrap" even when it won't show. I really need to go this route because it's too expensive to build structural members so that (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

| Rick Nice. I like the black and white legs--reminds me of some kinda Dr. Seuss patterned creature. I'm glad the parts you traded with me went to cool use. And I can't wait to meet it. Cute name, too. Henry (25 years ago, 12-Apr-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| That's a pretty interesting discussion! I suspect that your beams would be much stronger if you used the 1/3 high bricks instead of the standard 1 brick high.
