| (...) I'll link a picture from GMLTC member Bill-2 (that's one of his firetrucks!): (URL) Something like this allows people to get their noses right up next to a model, but still prevents them from picking them up. Maybe Lego still has these (...) (17 years ago, 11-Apr-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.vignette, FTX)

| (...) This is a great question. I think a retail display case or a museum case would probably work best. It is an expensive solution for a LUG, but perhaps the venue has some available, or you can pick one up at a store that is going out of (...)

| (...) Ted, These are interesting questions to me as we are working to finalize arrangements for Brickworld. Personally, I make robots and they are "hands-on" items, so I don't want stanchions around my stuff at all. But, as you noted, the event (...)

| | | | | Displays at Fests
|
| While at BrickFestPDX 2007 last weekend it occurred to me that there was a problem with displaying microscale MOCs and vignettes. The public were being kept behind stanchions at arms-length from the tables on which the MOCs were displayed. I moved (...) (17 years ago, 4-Apr-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.build.vignette)

| (...) Thanks! I hadn't thought about putting plates/tiles on the wheels, but I had thought about grey light sabre blades. After I read your post I tried putting a plate and then a tile on the wheels, and as you said, it's just too big for the scale. (...)

| | | | | Introducing - The MOCBox
|
| Inspired by the feedback to my recent (URL) MOC. I played around with the large trans-clear panel piece and came up with a simple idea for a container which I call the MOCBox. My first build was in response to (URL) Joe Meno's comment> about a Sea (...)

| (...) Oh that little engine on the flatcar is just so cute! Small question tho, did you consider putting any 1x6 lt. grey plates on the drive wheels of the mini-model to better match the large engine's rods? Or did it seem they would be too big in (...)

| (2 URLs) Post Mod Gallery> Here is a mini version of my #805 I built this afternoon. I've been wanting to build a mini-scale train to ride on a small flatbed car for a long time now, but I never really got the gumption to try to build a MOC of my (...)

| (...) Incidentally, I noticed that the windscreen shown in Peeron's (URL) 4939 inventory> is not exactly the same as the (URL) window>, which has 1 x 1 connectors in its front corners instead of 1 x 3 connectors. Peeron says the windscreen number is (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, lugnet.inv, FTX)
