Count me in. How would you like to structure it? Or do you just want to
leave it open ? It would be/ will be nice to see what various people come
up with utilizing similar brick resources. Sort of like a challenge contest
at a Brickfest? -[Your contest will probably be as close as I get to one
for a quite some time.]
I never really know what I 'm going to come with when I start rearranging a
set after initially following the instructions.. That's the pleasure. For
me, this will be as more of a challenge to myself than a contest with
others.
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I saw your original post, but
was too frazzled getting ready for Passover and visiting relatives to make a
commitment.
I don't have any "intact" BASIC sets right now. I will probably have a
chance to look around to try and find a medium size BASIC in the next week
or so. What size set or about what piece count do you have in mind? I
wouldn't mind getting a 4225 so that I could get a copy of the MM FL picture
you posted. Is this too small for what you have in mind? I don't know if
it is available here.
Limits do push creativity and exercise one's imagination. This is good for
everyone. Thanks for suggesting it.
Come on people, join the fun!
