    Scoop what? —Miles Gentry
   What media works well for scooping with front-end buckets and back-hoes, e.g., the scoops in Service Pack 5284 "Loading Grabs" and set 8459 "Pneumatic Front-End Loader"? We need a medium that scoops easily from a flat surface, a pile, or a bin. It (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)
   
        Re: Scoop what? —Stefan Steinbauer
     Have you been thinking of dice? I am talking about the ones with 6 sides! My thoughts went in direction 8-, 10-, 12-, 20-siders. Maybe you can borrow some from a friend to try out. I would do this if I could (using the 8459) - but I lent mine away (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

   Would round 1x1 tiles work? Or maybe the hemispherical bases of the 1x1 "joystick" pieces. They wouldn't roll around *too* much. If you're not concerned about odd shapes, actually, it occurs to me that castle feathers (the small ones particularly) (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jan-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)
   
        Re: Scoop what? —Larry Pieniazek
   (...) Neat. IS there such a piece? I thought that there were only round 1x1 *plates*. and the only round tile was the 2x2. Can't comment on scoopability but these are used a LOT by GMLTC for stuff like "spilled coal", "dirt clods", "animal waste" (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jan-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)
