Hi builders, planners, et al. I have a few questions about the Marketplace standards. 1) The road overhang can only overlap by 1 stud right, but how high? How much clearance is needed for men on horseback, carts, carriages, wagons, etc that may come (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)

Hey Ben, How's it going? I am not offended by your project. However, the standard you have written is a little bit wordy, IMO. It is a bit hard to follow and keep track of what the standard actually is. I realize that what you posted is just a rough (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Thanks Sean. (...) What exactly do you mean, "didn't come out"? The quality didn't turn out well? Or that you can't see much from the way they were taken? If they just didn't show up, maybe try refreshing it a couple times, because I can see (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-02, to lugnet.castle.org.cw, lugnet.castle)

Lego always makes new parts. They have to balance the cost of creating a new part with the eventual use of that part. In normal production sets, new parts can be used often, and the creation costs recovered. The Star Wars line has lots of new parts (...) (22 years ago, 4-Nov-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.castle)
