For MichLUG's appearance at the Detroit-area Festival of Trees, I thought a mini pirate ship would be a fun ornament. (URL) it'll have to be a good glue job to keep this on the tree. After mutilating both ends of an axle trying to drill a hole for a (...) (21 years ago, 8-Nov-03, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.build.microscale)

(...) Good Call, Maggie, to switch out the inverse corner slopes for regular 2x2 inverse slopes! I would have done the exact same thing--no way would I let kids have a part that is pretty valuable to us adult builders :) :) As for the limit of 3 -- (...)

I'll be away from home and office on the 18th of March, as I'll be spending the week in Ireland.... After recovering from Paddy's day we'll go to Connemara where I'll hope to find this tiny shop that still has some old sets on the shelf. A bit like (...)

Greetings, Earth-mortals! I've been working recently (and hopefully for the long term - I want this to be THE ONE) at a job with excellent benefits, among those two paid "floating holidays" where we can choose any day to make our own holiday. We've (...) (22 years ago, 20-Feb-03, to lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

(...) No, didn't see that. I know there was a fireplace in the last Lego Magazine, but I didn't look too closely at it. Yep, I've only got one of the Dobby sets. I mainly got it for Dobby, who is replacing a Life On Mars alien as my Gollum (just saw (...) (22 years ago, 21-Dec-02, to lugnet.fun.holiday, lugnet.general)

Neat concept! Definitely captures the spirit and feel of the D56 release. The snow works, though it looks kinda out of place in the middle of the field of green. But then, it's that Christmas magic! :^) Cool stuff. -Stefan- (...) (22 years ago, 25-Nov-02, to lugnet.fun.holiday)
