 | | Tall tower
|
|
This is my first time posting so please let me know if I am doing anything wrong. I'm trying to build a tall tower using only Lego. I know that the record is over 90 feet but using just the bricks on hand I made a tower 17 feet 11 inches tall. (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.arch) !

(...) I'm looking at doing this for the arches that support something (i.e., have bricks above). It would be hard to make it look right for a stand-alone arch, though. Right now I'm working on the groin vault for the interior ceiling. I'm using a (...) (19 years ago, 18-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.arch)

Hi all, Recently I've become quite interested (a little addicted might even be more accurate) to Russian trains and Soviet architecture. Both have their own unique traits and styles which appear pretty much nowhere outside the former Soviet Bloc. (...)
