My request for a nonstandard item: When you change plastic colors in a mold, I understand there is a small set of bricks with mixed colors. Don't throw them away, sell them to us! Pat Shepard P.S. Thanks to Chris Weeks for the idea, from a (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

Although what I'm about to mention here is almost certainly not be a "purist" solution, one that I've found that works reasonably well is using ordinary oil-based hobby paints like you'd use on plastic models. Most of the ones I've found are (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

(...) Gary, I think this list should be titled "Parts that town builders use a lot of on just one building." I'd vote for this list. Now I'll quibble with it: 1x4x3 window frames shouldn't be overlooked. The rest of us have been using them. (: White (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general)

Mr. Justus, Thank you for your post. Bearing in mind what you wrote, about basic bricks only for starters, I'd have to say that my most probable request for my first order would be -- depending on the actual final costs, of course -- a lot/order of (...)
