Hey, great sleuthing, Manfred. The one just before that in her portfolio is
related to Designer/Creator sets so I've copied .build. I set the FUT to
.mediawatch because maybe she's going to be an up and coming influence on
industrial design? Some of her other work is spiffy too.

Thank you, and even more so, because the small pictures on the lower left corner
of that other, Designer/Creator related portfolio page tickled my nose. Seeing a
model of the Sidney Opera House here prompted me to sleuth some more. It turned
out that the depicted models were shown at the Lego Creator Show, but strangly
enough these Aussies kept it all to themselves (selfish, selfish) by posting a
review to their local group only: http://news.lugnet.com/loc/au/?n=11641

Some of the pictures in this post are a bit out of focus, but a Brickshelf
Gallery with better pictures is also available:

Like Richie Dulin noted in his posting to local.xxx newsgroup, please note the
interesting low railing made of skeleton legs and white lightsabre bars, best
seen in this picture:

and likewise the effective wooden railing on the large Chinese temple, simulated
with SNOT empty 2x2 turntable bases, best seen on this picture:

(especially where there are white minifig legs behind them adding contrast)

Also, a model of a LEGO injection molding machine:

As one who has visited the Billund factory and has seen the brick making
production line with my own eyes, I can declare this is a pretty accurate
representation of such a machine.

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

(...) They did a great job with this model -- it isn't a temple though, it's a hotel. It's the Grand Hotel in Taipei, Taiwan. http:images.google.c...rand+Hotel Likewise, the Merlion ((URL) isn't just an interesting build, it's in Singapore. (URL) (20 years ago, 24-Jul-04, to lugnet.build)
