The old robot head: (URL) - it is now known as "1x1 Brick With Studs on Four Sides". Your cad diagram does help conjure up what you meant. Perhaps another couple of rotated view might aid the process. Basing a concept on the (URL) may yet yeild a (...) (21 years ago, 22-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)

(...) This one exists :-) Ok, so I think you meant a 2x2 quarter round tile as opposed to the 2x2 tile with a 1x1 quarter round bite taken out of it (that shows up in the original Scala mirror frame). (...) I'd rather see a complete set of (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

Curved Parts: (2 URLs) Gothic Arches: (2 URLs) Personally, I'm rather fond of the gothic arches, so I'd have to pick the 1x6x3 arch as (...)

(...) 1X2 triple convex slope at 33° in black. I don't need a bunch of them, but I do need them. I suspect many other builders need them too, from what I've seen as far as roof peak modifications with 33° roofs. (21 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

(...) Good call! That wasn't quite what I was envisioning, but I guess it qualifies. For that matter, one might make a half-hearted case that the "Space Positioning Rockets" might sort of partially qualify, with the one-stud-plate overhang. (...)

(...) Wow, it is nice to see that there are others out there that have really interesting ideas. I like them all, except for Allan Bedford (just kidding Allan, it just seems such a waste of a wish, a 3x3 brick could be made with a 2x3 and a 1x3 with (...)

(...) I think the issue with that piece is that MegaBloks has already made it in a couple of sizes. It may be a patent issue. Otherwise, I'd love it too. LFB (21 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.general)

On the topic of fluted columns, I'm sure Lego would make it Juniorized, but I would rather have a top and a bottom piece with drums 2 bricks high. That way you could make your own base or capital. The white Technic pin joiners can be wrapped around (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

I'd like to join technic beams together. The trick about the axles is cool though. Thanks for sharing that. I'm curious what the old robot head looks like, but you imply it's not ideal, so no biggie. Here's a crude image that I made with mlcad that (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic)
