Hi all; I've been meaning to create a website for ages, but not having a camera (digital or otherwise) made it difficult. However, my thanks to fellow VLC'er Bryan Wong for bringing his digital camera to the last meeting, and subsequently posting my (...) (24 years ago, 11-Sep-00, to lugnet.build) !!

(...) The jet is nice of course, but I really like this truck. Although it's a little too big for minifigs, it's a great scale to build at! (I've done a couple vehicles[1] at that approximate scale, but I haven't (yet) tried to add steering. I think (...) (24 years ago, 11-Sep-00, to lugnet.build)

(...) Heck, no. I like your 'plate over wheel well' solution you used for your red Diablo model. The only other thing I can think of is using an arch around the wheel (won't work terribly well for wedge shaped cars, like the Lamborghinis though). If (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.build)

Your F-15 is just the type that I always want to see in MOCs, it is too legoish, and very accurate at the same time. And your Black Cat Jr. also very well built, and it's even more impressive after reading that it is built from the pictures only. (...) (24 years ago, 12-Sep-00, to lugnet.build)

(...) One thing I like about your Optimus is the fact that he transforms, is poseable, -and- looks good in both modes. I've seen several transforming LEGO robots, but not all of them look good and are functional in both modes. (...) That's also a (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.build)
