Well, gee, I personally wouldn't risk such a thing. Once I build something,
I rarely break apart my creation voluntarily, and creations that are lost I
often regret about, from such memories as the first line of mechs I made, to
the giant lumbering ship, that although very small compared to the creations
of others, was so big it had 1/4 of a baseplate as the rear of the ship.
Anyway enough memories from me, I say get a small rug or a bunch of towels
and crash it onto that, I just couldn't stand plunging a bunch of hardened
experienced minifigs to their death in the name of safety. In my opinion
that'd be slightly hypocritical, but then again that is the same process of
most cars. So please, put a few towels on the stairs landing, and send it
down unarmed, I think the SEALS would agree. *sniff* Err... and Random on too...

| I hate the idea of destroying this incredible helichopter. But, I've left it intack for over 1 year. The parts in the chopter will help me build something else. I also have tons of photographs of this beast. The towel idea makes sense but that will (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
