Here is my Golden Gate Bridge. I wanted this to be my first posting on Lugnet but Eric posted his a few days before I was going to post, so I held off. The bridge took me almost 2 years and two trips back home to San Francisco to complete. I was so (...)

(...) Thanks, but this is way too pricy for my needs! :) For a gooey approach, I think I may go with an old Elmer's Glue squeeze dispenser filled with Oatey's glue. or For the thin stuff (straight MEK) I wonder if an exposed 1" x 2" x .5" dense (...)

Sweet - especially the use of the slopes to smooth out the curves. Also like your greek urn. Do you mind if I copy your circle template for my next sculptural MOC? Mark (...) (22 years ago, 2-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) Thanks for the kind words. I like this size and type of sculpture as well because it's easy for non-LEGO fans to relate to. I enjoy the challenges of making curved surfaces, and in this case I'm also happy with the use of slopes to enhance the (...) (22 years ago, 30-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

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)

(...) Great work. I love smaller sized sculptures like this. They give the rest of us hope that we too can make a sculpture of some kind. :) As well, I'm always glad to see 'other' types of LEGO models. That is something other than another spaceship (...)

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. My 1:1 scale Miniland reproduction figure ((URL) has fallen a number of times, and it is not easy to rebuild! :) Instead of placing them in a cabinet, (...)

Here is #2 of 3…. For those who aren’t from the bay-area here is a piece you probably haven’t seen. This is the Sunol water temple located in Sunol Ca, a very small town southeast of San Francisco.

(...) 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.

I stopped when I realised how many bricks I would need :) Now, I'm trying other projects, but even my largest one is only 3,000+ pieces :) (...) (22 years ago, 13-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
