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 (...) (25 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 (...) (25 years ago, 12-Mar-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

I'd rather people didn't say it or any other swear word here. My kids do indeed say it, but that doesn't mean that I approve, nor does it mean that they don't know that it's wrong, because they do.
