| (...) Thanks, Janey! This was a really fun build...and the details were part of the challenge. Micro has some real design challenges that are really fun to ponder and solve, and I'm glad I got into it. Now if I could get onto your level, I'd really (...)

| (...) Hi Bruce, Okay, let me see if I can shed some light on this........ First of all, I agree it's a great folder of the Micros for BrickFest. (...) Funny you should say that, because that Train Station was built by Paul Janssen and that *did* win (...) (22 years ago, 3-Sep-04, to lugnet.build.microscale)

| Joe, I really like your rendition of Calypso. I remember watching "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau" as a kid - that model brought back memories. And the overall playability reminds me of the (gasp) Tente ships I had as a kid, too. Play on! (...) (22 years ago, 2-Sep-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)
