I'm not too proud to admit that I'd had enough of sitting on the floor to build and was ready to give in and use a chair. For the time being I'm (...)

Oh you gotta go with a Rolly Leather Office Chair. If you can pick one up from an office supply store for cheap, go for it. When you drop a piece, just wack the side handle and "shhhhhhhp" you lower yourself to the floor to pick it up. Then glide (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.storage)

When I was a child, we had a great finished basement. One room in the basement had a tile floor and an extremely sturdy ping pong table. I used to crawl up on the ping pong table and build my town and space layouts on that. (Of course, there was a (...) (22 years ago, 11-Dec-02, to lugnet.build, lugnet.storage)
