| | | Lenny is always giving me grief for not posting pictures of my stuff. Well, the other night I threw this together and somehow managed to take a picture of it: (URL) Oh no!> It's not exactly a masterpiece, but I think it's kind of cute.

| | | | | Smoke is nicely done, plus the bucket of water being trown at the fire is really cute. The whole thing deserves to be seen! Maybe a couple more people working with the little fellow would be even better. Terry (20 years ago, 7-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Heck, I didn't even put a door on the building--my excuse is that it already burned away. Brucey-Wan wants me (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

Like others have already said, the use of white 2x2 round bricks for smoke and the trans-lt blue flame (for water, ironically) is brilliant! And you gotta love (...)

| | | | | | (...) Thank you--although I think the blue flame was used as water in a Jack Stone kit, so it wasn't really a stretch for me to use it like that. I am quite happy with the smoke though.

| | | | | (...) This is great! Like others have said, the smoke and the bucket of water are both awesome, as are some of the shapes you made from the flame pieces. You gotta bring that to brickfest, and see if the fire spreads ;) -Dan Rubin (20 years ago, 8-Jun-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

| | | | | You're right, it is cute. I like that design. I probably won't steal it though, the smoke is a little dense for me. Hurts my lungs to try to breathe that in.
