| | Minifig Lab Yields: Coneheads
|

I was mixing minifigs in my multi-theme bucket, and a crystal ball said "put me on a head!" So I did. If you look through the refracting ball just right, you see a Conehead! Simply viewed straight on, the top stud is stretched 3 times higher. Adjust (...) (24 years ago, 12-Aug-00, to lugnet.fun)

Great work, it really looks nice. If you find that it is too noisy, you might look into the cork subroadbed that is advertized in the model railroading magazines. I am pretty sure there is one 6 inches wide. Michel Magnan (...) (24 years ago, 8-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.fun.crafts)

I agree with James, a nice slow running train may be just the thing to lull baby to sleep. So if it's a girl are you going to (...)

Very cool indeed Eric!! What's the noise level like? I would think being that close to the ceiling you'd get quite a bit of noise, of course it being a steady sound of the trains running across the tracks could be a good thing. I think that would (...)

This one isn't 'fun' in the 'fun' sense, more the 'off-beat' sense. :) When we moved into our new house, we noticed that the clothes dryer didn't work very well. We figured the exhaust pipe was full of lint. We were right. In this house, the exhaust (...) (24 years ago, 5-Aug-00, to lugnet.fun) !
