    You wouldn't want one of these landing at your Airport! —Erin Windross
   I was planning to build a realistic minifig scale Jumbo 747, then I figured out the dimensions of it, consequently I quit the whole project, because: A: It would be near 30 studs wide(God knows what that would be with the wings!) B: It would also be (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)
   
        Re: You wouldn't want one of these landing at your Airport! —Kela Akira Kitkowski
     Don't feel too bad; my Father once built outta my legos (as a kid) a big-ass (can I say ass on here?) plane that almost looked like one of those cargo planes with propellers. I think I have a photo of the model stuffed into my boxes, so if I can dig (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

Hi, You should know that you're not in any kind of 'trouble' etc, the only authority on LUGNET is Todd, so those who responed to you were expressing their own opinions, *not* those of LUGNET.
