(...) Cool. The construction shots are very informative So, can we ask: Did TRU provide the bricks for this? Or was it a commissioned sculpture? I think it's pretty nifty that the sculpture area is blossoming with several artists (and at least one (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) Well, they haven't supplied me with any bricks quite yet. I had bought the bricks with my own funds before they'd requested the sculpture. If they decide they can handle the price, they will pay me for the sculpture, at which time I'll glue it (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)

I forgot to mention this, but this sculpture will be on display at my local Toys'R'Us on June 23rd from 1-3, as a test to see if they want to buy it, in which case it'll be permanently installed at that location. It's the TRU in North Olmstead, OH. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.us.oh)

(...) I don't have any comments on the sculpture (other than, wow, I wish my brain could do that), but I wandered into your space section and fell in love. I love your "gravedigger" model! -- Jeff <jthompson@esker.com> "Float on a river, forever and (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) Heh. Thanks. That's one that's been hanging around for quite a while. I keep thinking that I ought to go back and start building smaller vehicles like it again. My models just keep getting larger and larger, and I'm beginning to run out of (...) (23 years ago, 5-Jun-01, to lugnet.build)

I sure hope that they buy it! Would really suck to do all that work and have them not buy it! What are they hoping will happen in the two hours that it is displayed?

(...) Hey, it's still a cool work, and I learned a lot on building big big sculptures, so it wasn't a total waste. I'll likely tear it apart and build something cooler with it if they don't. Not too much of a loss. (...) I suspect that the store (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.us.oh)
