| | | | | (...) Wow! I can see why you are a professional model maker. This model is a step above even the excellent models displayed here by enthusiasts. I think this is in part due to the artistic flavor of the model. The colors chosen and their placement (...) (20 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks for your comments! This is only one instance of using non-LEGO parts. Ususally I would never do this as I always have said - anything can be built in LEGO.

If you are referencing the area where the cuckoo bird is, I just used one of those 2x3 plate peices that are like a trailer hitch type thing, where the (...)
