I was looking thru a bunch of old 1950's macaroni bricks I purchased recently from a Danish collector. The macaroni bricks were first introduced in 1955. From 1955-57 they came in 4 different types, after 1957 only the type we know today continued (...) (21 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.general, lugnet.parts)

(...) I agree with Jon. Everyone wants a different width for wide corridors, and what if no one else builds wide corridors? Interiors of moonbases are rarely viewable anyways.. I just don't really see the point. -Lenny (21 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.general)
