Brian,
Until late 1999 to early 2000, small scale building really did not seem to
have a common name. Of course, there were references to quarter-scale,
half-scale, etc. but as far as I know, nothing stuck. The irony is, prior
to the advent of the minifig, LEGO building was just...LEGO building!
Your references to "Classic" and "half classic" are interesting, and if you
don't mind, I will add them to my microfig history presentation as good
descriptors of pre-minifig creations.
My presentation presently reflects set(s) 200? from 1957 that shows small
homes, a playmat and what appear to be common die-cast cars. At this time,
LEGO products were presented as the LEGO system of play.
Per your post, it would be great indeed to see your lunar base, rockets and
airfield.
Once again, your cathedral is great and has been visited many times by my
browser!
I look forward to seeing more creations of yours in the future.
Ashley
