I knew there was a reason I brought my LEGO collection home for break besides sorting the miscellaneous parts... This may come as a bit of an anticlimax after the Diablo, but I just finished a Miniland scale (12 wide) rendition of the time machine (...)

(...) That's just plain cool! The fiberoptics are a nice touch as is the attention to the interior detail. As for the shape, it's not .that. bad. Better than I could do..! Good job! Joel Jacobsen (URL) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

Hey thats great!! I have two questions: 1. How do you build such great models in such sort time periods? I mean it hasn't even been a week since you posted about the Diablo. 2.How did you get al of the fiber optic lines to light at once? Once (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) This was probably done by using a long exposure time on the digital camera, hence capturing many lit fiber optic lines at once. The model is very nice! I really admire the time Bram Lambrecht can devote to building! I wish I had that much (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jan-01, to lugnet.build)
