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)

There are also several dispenser manufacturers around for pneumatically acuated syringe dispensers. Again, these are industrial products... (...) (22 years ago, 27-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 (...)
