(...) Hilarious, great stuff - and it helped this recently awakened AFOL understand the scene a little better, too, which is part of your goal, right? Thanks for the peek - looking forward to more. (14 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.lego, lugnet.general, lugnet.org, FTX)

(...) Well thank you very much Darrell. As for the parts for the 7 inch (well 7 and half actually, but who is counting?) brick they are all pretty easy to come by, at least in that colour (red). The big brick is 7 layers of bricks high. The block (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jun-04, to lugnet.general)
