Hey Brendan, Great as always. Giants: LOL on the old-style figs with the big round heads. I've got one of those from my first set (I think it was 111).

Hi Brendan, Good job on this story. I like the use of the rubber band. Also the one stone in the air (presumably suspended just out of the frame) works really well. Bruce (22 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.ancient)
