Hello again all! I've posted a message a few days ago announcing my new MOC, La Tour Kisc. Since then, nothing, niet, rien. I was hoping for a few comments, positive or not, about my work. I don't know if I posted to the correct topic, so I'm (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jul-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)

(...) noticed the shed and locomotive (wow!) but I can't figure out what is going in the "sheddetail1.jpg" image showing a round window. I've built round windows using those inverse half-arches, but these are all a lot bigger than the one you show. (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) I'm glad you like it. To answer your question: Since the most common tan piece seems to be the 2x4 brick, most of the exterior structure is made up of such brick. The walls, and so forth, are all 2x wide. The statue, however, is kind of heavy (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.arch)

I mean, the only people they would be selling to would be (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Indeed I do enjoy Nathan! What is the internal structure like? The guys at LLW said when they are doing buildings they put 2x bricks as bracing roughly every 10 studs, have you done something similar? If so I bet they aren't tan as you appear (...)

I decided it was time to add a pedestal to the Statue of Liberty set #3450. My results can be found here: (URL) also revised the torch by building it with clear bricks and then wiring it to light up. The wires run up the middle of the statue and (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jul-02, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch) !!
