Ok, given how nasty this stuff is, is there anything else you recommend that isn't so nasty? I have one mosiac I need to glue together; otherwise, they'll be no way on either to get it to travel (and we have to move soon :(..). Thanks, -Anne (...)

Hi Will! When I was at Legoland, I was so surprised to learn that they used MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) as a "glue"! I used to use MEK to clean the screens used in silkscreen printing. MEK is some NASTY stuff! Extremely flammable and you don't want to (...) (22 years ago, 27-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

Very nice. I always like 1:1 scale models. The pair of them look good next to that vase on top of your piano. One question--is the spout hollow all the way through? Bruce (22 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

I am tired of my lego sculptures being knocked to the floor by the antics of my rambuctious sons.
