 | | UFO clear and gray pieces - Are they useful for emulating architectural features?
|
|
When the UFO stuff first came out, I scoffed at them (because I'm more into town than space). However, I decided that I wanted to build a merry-go-round and the circular pieces would make a good top. So, I bought two UFO sets. I never was able to (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

This is really my last post today, I just have to answer this! Yes! Eric Brok made excellent and creative use of the UFO pieces which lots of people shamelessly copied later (me included... need more UFO hulls...) Check them out, under 'buildings' (...)

(...) Kind of funny that you should bring this up about the UFO hulls. I just purchased an alien avenger 6975 today at a great clearance price at ShopKo. Regularly $59.99 I got it for an astounding $7.99!!!!! To bad it was the only one left or I (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

Interesting. You succeeded in using them in a merry-go-round like I wanted to originally (but failed). Interestingly enough, I gave up because I couldn't come up with a convincing base. You solved the problem with curved Belville plates. Very nice! (...) (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.arch)

Hi Brad! Thanks for the compliment. I like your town pics. Have you made any non-orthogonal designs (non 90degree)? My station is octagonal (not the top) and almost 5 ft high on a 3.25" base. (it was a CLSoW last August) Just wondering what the (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.arch)
