(...) My CA dates back to about 1967. It's definitely more orangey than the current red. I also have red slopes from that time period that I suspect are not CA and they are distinctly different color, and like you, they are similar to the current (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color)

I recently got a few Samsonite-era LEGO pieces in an Ebay lot and noticed a few differences between those bricks and the current ones. Obviously the studlogo is in a different font, and the underside of the plates is sort of "waffle-y," but the (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) Hi, Eric, my current "BIG MOC" is a medivel/fantasy setting on 144x192 studs. Although it is much smaller than your brewery, it uses several kilograms of plates 1x1 and 1x2, thus driving the parts count (estimated) to about 50000 pieces. About (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color)

(...) Hi Kevin, this is a very good idea. There's definetly a chance that bley turns into grey, since the old grey turned yellower due to exposure to the sun. Perhaps I'll try. But so far, I only bought the Mini-ISD this year and I do not plan to by (...) (21 years ago, 10-May-04, to lugnet.color)
