Here is the “The Bumble Bee Building” I have been working on for a few weeks. Now that I am building with Lego, I have to use my B/F's collection and this time black and yellow were not being used for his latest space ship, so that's what I had to (...)

(...) say wow! I like the way you did the corners of the roof, you make up for the lack of triangular peak slopes very nicely (with the cones)! The building opens, that's more points for ya, and I love the way you did the stairs in the foyer. *Very* (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Hey Sarah, I like it! Really nice design and nice interior too! I was expecting something less majestic when you called it a bumble bee building. I like the corner roof peaks. Keep up the good work. Tom (23 years ago, 31-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Looks great Sara. It's a very striking building. Would look great in most any display. It's nice that all four sides have detail. Lately I haven't been giving anything but the front and roof attention. The stairs inside are very cool. They (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

The off-colors grew on me after a while. I am mostly happy with the design, I think I will give it another go after this weekend, Joel wants me to keep it together for the Lego get together thingie. My design idea was for the building to be taller (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jul-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

I like it! It has a very earthy feel to it. It gives me a sort-of Frank Lloyd Wright feeling. The interior it really cool as well. Its good to hear that there is someone else that builds the building first and names it later. I almost never know (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

Even though I feel weird responding to a post to lugnet.build.arch, I'm going to do it anyway... ;-) Sarah, that building looks sweet! I really like the clean design. The stairs are cool too. BTW this is one of the few LEGO buildings (aside from (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Thanks, I still like it even though it didn't turn out the way I intended. I had wanted to make some kind of wizard's tower, but after I finished it, it looked like a prison. So I put those walls up around it, and took some pictures. Those (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

Mladen- Thanks for saying anything at all. It's pretty cool that a space builder even looks at the build.arch section. Heck, space ships are just differently configured flying buildings right? ;) *idea* Hey!!! I could just push my building over slap (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

Round... I haven’t figured that technique out yet, I look at what few buildings have rounded walls, but it hasn’t dawned on me how it was done. If anyone wants to give me a few ideas on how its done... I would be greatly appreciative. Sarah (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.arch)

Well, let's see... The best page that I've seen that demonstrates these techniques is Eric Brok's pages, particularly this one: (URL) I can't hit that page right now, unfortunately. Does anyone know if Eric moved his site, or can other people hit (...) (23 years ago, 1-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.arch)
