This sounds like a wild proposal.  I don't have the parts you are looking for,
but am curious.  What would you use them to build?  And if you were only needed
them for, say a year, then what?  Take photos of your dream?  I guess where I'm
going is:  why don't you create it in LDraw?  You'll only have photos of your
creation after a year anyway, and I think POV-RAY is just as good.  What's
better, you'll actually have a snowball's chance in Edmonton to complete the
project.

Well, I expect that this is going to be a dead-end, buuuut...

I'm looking to get my hands on as many of these as I can - ideally, a couple
hundred.  Unfortunately, this piece comes in only two sets, according to the
database: 554 Fuel Pumper, and 760 London Bus - 1 and 2 elements,
respectively.   This isn't in buy-sell-trade, because I seriously doubt I
could find 100 760's, and even if I could, I don't have the cash to casually
lay out for what those are going for.

What I would like to know is:

A: Is there someone(s) out there with a lot of these windows, and
B: Would I be able to "lease" them?

I would want to use them for an extended period (say 6 months to a year), and
would return them thereafter, in the same condition I got them, excepting
'display on shelf' wear.

I know, pretty far-fetched, but I figure if its going to happen at all, it'll
happen via Lugnet.

LMK,

James

(...) Minas Tirith, at microfig scale. They would decorate buildings as huge, panoramic windows. My best estimates (based on the practical limitations of curved 1x2 wall building) is that it will have to be at least 8 feet across, and around 4-5 (...) (25 years ago, 20-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
