 | | Web site move and new MOC sculpture: Rodin's Thinker
|
| A heads-up for anyone who has bookmarked my web site (Dilbert sculptures, mathematical Lego sculptures and a few Technic odds and ends): I've just moved from the US to the UK and consequently changed ISP. My email address is also changing, though (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.sculpture) !

|
| I posted the DAT for this over in cad.dat.models, but I was so pleased by it I decided to sign up for a brickshelf account just to show it off. Yay! So, here are some images of this little thing I made, which I am so proud of, while not as terribly (...) (23 years ago, 17-Sep-01, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

| (URL) of the pictures can be found here, (URL) for the movies of the guns firing. Unfortunately I forgot to make one of the p-86 before I broke it down, and it was the most powerful gun! oh well, More pics will be added soon, The pics I do have (...)

Fortunately, the design flaw had nothing to do with the side protection... (...) Or _Courageous_ (...) (23 years ago, 28-Aug-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.boats, lugnet.pirates)

Either HMAS Australia (and let's not talk about the pushing and shoving with the New Zealand which kept her out of Jutland - she may have suffered the same fate as Indefatigable...), or perhaps (...)

I'm glad it has the approval of the ABS-grognards among us. :) I was warned, however, that building that ship served as an official gauntlet-dropping for you at next (...)

I think another day in the sun for the HMS Valhalla and HMS (...) (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.boats, lugnet.pirates)

| (...) I don't even know what I can begin to say, Lindsay. This is one of the most amazing models I've ever seen - the level of detail on the decks is stunning, and the color scheme is gorgeous. I've followed your advances for the past year or so (...) (23 years ago, 24-Aug-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.boats, lugnet.pirates)

| (...) Well, the modernist 1880-1920s would definitely be your period, I'd bet. :) There's something about the tentativeness of all that period's designs--nothing could be standard, because it was all changing so *quickly* that even standardization (...)

| Amazing creation! I am still dazzled, even though I couldn't see "Fred" live. The pictures are very good, so I managed to sense the "scale" of the model... the word that comes to mind is none other than "Grosse"! (hence, the name: your own + "the (...)

The theory was marvelous, but in the end it wasn't nearly as marvelous as the American-pioneered raised-end mounting, which became standard by 1916 on capital ships of all nations. (...) Well, (...)
