  Himeji Castle MOC (soon to be at Brickfest 2001)
 
Decided to release Himeji Castle today instead the day before Brickfest 2001. What can I say ? It was always the castle that I wanted to build with Lego but never could do it justice till now. I am glad I took my time (about 3 months and many (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jul-01, to lugnet.castle.ninja, lugnet.build.ancient, lugnet.loc.jp) !! 
 
  Re: ATLANTIS!
 
I haven't started any MOC's yet, but there's a great book out that details characters and vehicles (not quite as detailed as the DK Star Wars books)I think I might pick that up to 'jog' my memory. Let us know when you have photos.. even partial (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.underground, lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: ATLANTIS!
 
(...) Hey Nick, just saw the movie, didn't you? (Me too, just got back-good stuff-different, in a good way) I have an Aktitrak (the hammerhead-shark looking Atlantean vehicle) 75% finished (but it's been that way for weeks!). I have Moliere's digger (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jun-01, to lugnet.aquazone, lugnet.underground, lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  ATLANTIS!
 
Anyone made any MOCs from the movie Atlantis? The mining vehicles are Rock Raiders meets Adventurers (two of my favorite themes), and the Atlantian ships are Aquazone meets Tunafish (one of my favorite themes and one of least favorite cracker (...)

  Aquaduct
 
For my German/Latin Exploritory class we had to make a Roman Arch or Aquaduct. We (it was a group proj with some friends) decided to make an Aquaduct out of Legos. We had to sacrifice looks for operation, because it had to be able actually carry (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) It's so much better than the Belville rabbit. :) The pose especially--I knew it was coming, but that third picture almost killed me with laughter. And I don't even *own* a cat! best LFB (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: Colosseum
 
(...) 80,000 people - what a coicidence, that's exactly how many minifigs I managed to squeeze in there! OK, just kidding. @8-) I counted 'em up, and there are 216 minifigs in the stands, including the emperor's box. I could have crowded more in (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)

  Re: Colosseum
 
(...) Brilliant! I was just watching a show on the colosseum on the History Channel last night, that thing could seat 80,000 people! How many minifigs does your version seat? -Harvey (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)

  Re: Colosseum
 
Hi, again. I've uploaded a few new pics to the same Brickshelf page: (URL) a few monkeys into the mix, made the polar bear hungrier, put a cat up against a black dragon, and even "flooded" the colosseum for a sea battle. The new pics are: (URL) I (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: Colosseum
 
(...) That's really stunning! I saw the first picture long before the others loaded, so my first thought was "how many minfigs can sit in it?" and I was very surprised by the answer--a *lot*! A most excellent construction, the roundness handled very (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)
 
  Re: Colosseum
 
<snippy snippy> (...) Popular? Depends on who you ask. Me and the Sproats seem to love it. :-) A lot of people like it, but few people have built models to micro- or nano-fig scale.

  Re: Colosseum
 
Hi, guys. Thanks for the comments. It's much appreciated. George, do you have any special requests for small animal match-ups? I do have Jar-Jar vs. a gladiator with an axe, but I could go smaller. We could have, say, a stick-weilding monkey vs. a (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)

  Re: Colosseum
 
(...) Very nice, Brendan. I really like the way you did the top of the Colosseum, (all those black 1 x 6 arches - I mostly collect town - I might have six or seven of those) as well as the special box for the king and queen. (or Julius Caesar and (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)

(...) Wow, that's great, a real slice of Roman life. It looks like you got all the big animals, too. I didn't see any small ones, but throwing Timmy to the scorpions doesn't sound as menacing. George (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.ancient)
