Dude. Your buildings rule. Bottom line, no exceptions! They have inspired me to build my own little bricktopia. All I have to do is get the money to get the parts I need AND get the new USC Rebel Blockade Runner! :) (23 years ago, 25-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

For the past 6 months, I have avoided this newsgroup ( lugnet.build.arch ) , on the basis that building things with arches was a bit restrictive, and anyway, I don't have enough arches to do anything interesting. But now, I see that "arch" is short (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

Hm. Dan, your point is valid, I think, but not what Larry was referring to. To my way of thinking, the buildings -should- have been (but were not) posted to lugnet.trains. They were instead posted to lugnet.trains.org (among others). Larry's point (...) (23 years ago, 23-Sep-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.trains)

Looks nice. The see-through nature of the thin-walls make it seem a little too "empty" though.
