Hi folks,
One of my slated Lego projects is to build a furniture store -
basically an idea list for different types and styles of minifig-
scale furniture and accessories for filling out houses, castles,
office buildings, spaceships, etc.
To that end, I'd like to solicit contributions from all and
sundry: If you've got an image, or better yet, a DAT file of a piece
of furniture, I'd like you to send it to me.
I'd also like to start a discussion in the NG about how the "Store"
should be structured: For instance, should we categorize by era
first, then function? How about function, then era? Mix and match?
The goal here is to establish a hierarchy of directories to make it
easy to find the sorts of things you're looking for.
I've been thinking about "successful" Lego furniture designs, and
one consideration I've come up with is:
How specialized are the pieces? With LDraw or very large
collections, you may design a piece of furniture no one else can
build. I'd still like to see these designs! But you may also
want to consider designing furniture that can be built using
common elements like bricks and plates, so that someone could
build an entire office full of the furniture
My intention is to collect, organize, and then publish on the
web these furniture designs. Only send me a design if you are
willing to allow me to reproduce it on a website, etc., so that
others can see it and download it!
Please attach your name and other comments to any DAT files you
send - it'll save me a lot of editing. If you're submitting a
design you've got from someone else, you must tell me this, and
get the other person's permission first! Otherwise, send me a
link to their site, and I'll talk to them - but don't submit
someone else's work as your own!
The speed with which I get this organized will likely depend on
exactly how flooded I get with submissions. Fire away!
Remember - submissions you should send to me, with attached URLs,
images, or DAT files. Discussion should be put into the newsgroup
forum!
Thanks,
Jeff Elliott
