I've never actually seen a lego football in the 'flesh', so I'm not even sure how big it is. Is it a standard no. of bricks in diameter? If so you should be able to clamp it somehow with Lego only. But I don't necessarily object to blue tak. Let your conscience be your guide, but I'll be all the more impressed if you can find a Lego only solution. And remember, Michael, the footbal was your sugestion. :^) > Sail - is this neccesarily a cloth sail for a pirate ship, or can any > element that has been used to represent a sail in an officail model be used. > Specifically I am wondering about the one in the 6734 Beach cruisers set: Well, I had pirate ship sails in mind at the time, but since I didn't specify that I guess anything that is called a 'sail', including the one you mention, qualifies. > > And lastly, can someone give me a set no for the new blue tub or reference > for this alleged 'stupid white picket fence'?

However these fences are in a few Creator sets, according to Peeron. Namely 4120 (6), 4116 (2) and 4172 (1). The part no is 33303. Unfortuantely there's no picture, but Kevin Wilson posted a link to one of his models that uses them. see http://www.akasa.ca/vlc/VLCChilliwackShow/vlccw133.html Cheers, Allister

Anyone who can come up with a third way will greatly impress me. :) -Dave (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

(...) Hi Allister, The lego football is not a standard number of bricks in diameter. It is rather difficult to get on something, but I guess that is what makes it a challenge. I managed to get two onto my ship using only lego and no rubber bands. (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

(...) Yeah, talk about As Ye Shall Sow... anyway, I've gotta say the solutions some people have come up with to hold the football in place are amazing. In the last day or so I've made a small lameparts model, but I used blu-tack for the football and (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)

		Re: Lame Parts II - Let the building begin.
Hi Allister, Firstly I have to say this is a way cool idea. There's nothing like a bit of restriction to release the creative power. I've already started on a few concepts (My Moonbase construction is suffering as a result :) ). Secondly, I have a (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)
