(...) Some Q's: How'd you get that round spine effect on the heavy threat vessel? What do the little lever bases represent? (I have an idea... :-) Cheers, - jsproat (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)

Chuck, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's an illegal construction. Sometimes to achieve a specific vision a certain creative freedom is used to get the desired effect and result. Could you actually build it? Well, no, but then again I'm quite (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)

(...) I quite agree. Chopping and cutting is well....almost cheating. Besides the fact that I have to wonder *who* would have enough of a particular part to go cutting stuff up like there's no tomorrow, it seems merely a copout. The real challenge (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)

I couldn't disagree with you more Matthew. I'm 29, I'm an AFOL, my poor legos sat in their box for years, unused. Then one day I got them out for my kids and got the bug again but didn't have the pieces to build the things I wanted and with two (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)

Sam I can assure that no LEGO was harmed in the making of any of my creations. No actual CUTTING or CHOPPING was done to any LEGO, it's done with special effects CAD, like in the movies. Jamal Coleman (...) then (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)

To All, I am rather curious, I have not been following too closely in terms of this discussion, but from what I saw of Jamal's ships, they don't have the bumps on them. Is there something else, or is that it? I think the ships are nice, even though (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)

Since it seems a matter of great concern to some of us, let me reiterate once more NO LEGO was harmed, cut or chopped by me to make any creation, not now or in the future. (Though when I was younger I was guilty of biting the sideburns off of (...) (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.build)
