Hello! (...) You named it. I didn't have enough red doors, not so many yellow bricks, particularly no yello arches, even blue 2x4x45° slopes have been rare in my collection. And I never had any of the figures and weapons back then. Bye Jojo (21 years ago, 19-Aug-03, to lugnet.castle)

You could probably add some smoke to the picture using a graphics editor, and (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build.mosaic)
