(...) Eric- As always, simply splendid! I'm always amazed at what you do with comparatively basic bricks. Someday perhaps I can see some of this in the ABS, one of these days. Thanks for bringing joy to me here in seemingly LEGOless Africa. best LFB (22 years ago, 14-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

I'm stunned. Really nice work. And a remarkably simple and elegant solution to the cables. Wow. Beautiful. Joe Meno (22 years ago, 12-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
