(...) I initially was trying to build a *micro* Constellation, but by the time it was finished I thought the model better deserved to be called a 'mini'. Of course, this brings up the entire debate about what scale is micro, what is mini and so on. (...) (17 years ago, 7-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

(...) I can see your point - its interesting how it appears to me that many AFOL's perception of Lego "back in the good ol' days" seems to change depending on what the Lego was like in their respective childhoods. For instance, I have always thought (...) (17 years ago, 7-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

(...) Thanks, yes that is the one, now I'll have to build that one too. I really didn't like the minis except for star wars, but what a good idea to build the 1970 sets. I really believe that the 70s were the high point of lego when they designed (...) (17 years ago, 7-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

(...) Thomas-- These are awesome--brings back many happy daydreams of "gee, that'd be fun to build" when I was a kid. I'd love to see something from the Heliport or Fire Station. Might give it a shot myself, if I can get a spaceship done up the way (...) (17 years ago, 6-Jun-07, to lugnet.build.microscale)

(...) Thomas, these are fantastic. You've not just captured the spirit of these models, but you've nailed a lot of the fine details as well.

(...) Now this is the neatest pictures I have seen so far. This is really interesting. You have a talent I wished I had as I love these old sets.
