	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Greg Crisp
	Henry, You're awesome, you're amazing, I don't believe my eyes, etc. etc. etc. (Everyone get ready for the latest 'me too' thread of compliments... ;-) Seriously, I can't quite find words to adequately complement you on this one. This is on par (No (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Dave Johann
	'bout frikkin' time! ;-) Ok...now how are you planning to get it to the LUGOLA meeting? Hmmm? I'll tell you what...just bring more pics, and we'll call that your contribution to the meeting, otherwise, I'll have to let Rick bring a space station and (...)

	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Teddy Low
	Henry: To say that your creation is amazing is an understatement. Finally, I think you can be considered one of the greats- along the lines of your cohort Eric Harshbarger. Wow, it must be some competition between you guys- you with Amidala, Eric (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Dave Johann
		(...) I think I'll comission both of them to build me a lifesized working Corvette in Technic purple with teal highlights. That shouldn't take very long for Erik and Henry. What do you say, guys? A week or two tops? ; ) Here's a scene I'd love to (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Rick Kujawa
	A.... A..... A..... (got to pick my jaw up off the floor). That stupendous Stegasaurus is a real monstrosity! Because I got to see it in its earliest stages I feel very familiar with it. Make sure you show your neighbors your new guard dog. What (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Dan Jezek
	(...) Wow! That's amazing...almost unbelievable! How much does it weigh? (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Selçuk Göre
	Wow!.. Anything that I can say is not enough for expressing my excitement. Of course I've seen many photos of Legoland parks' sculptures, but this is their job. Yours is completely different as being a fan work. I also saw several other giant fan (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Andreas Stabno
	(...) Holy cow! :) Beautiful work, Henry. Would you be willing to share some insights into your process of building this sculpture? Did you use any sort of design tools? Create well, Andreas Stabno (URL) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Henry Lim
		(...) I didn't use any "design tools" other than following images I found in books and online. I also have a Jurassic Park toy that I looked at for perspectives. No "pre-production" sketches were made, either. I just put one brick to another... (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Eric Kingsley
	(...) Does it fit though the door? I also noticed that you must have sold all your belongings to build it. I doubt my Wife would let that much LEGO in the house even if we won the lottery. Anyway great work and if you don't mind I would love to see (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Dave Johann
		(...) Yes it does, one brick at a time.... (...) I noticed Henry's dining room table missing and assumed that Steggy had eaten it. Now that I look at it again, I notice that there isn't anything within 5 feet of Steggy and wonder where Henry's lamps (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

			Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Henry Lim
			Fortunately, my roommate moved out (and took all of his furniture), leaving me with full access to the living room. The question then should've been: "How did my roommate get his sofas and bed out of the door?" Luckily the head of the dinosaur (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

				Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Kevin Wilson

	(...) Stunning! Amazing! Beautiful! (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Stephen A. Campbell
	(...) higher-ups at LEGO get a chance to see this and hire you before you have to -gasp- take it apart. The smart thing for LEGO to do would be to buy the scupture, install it at the park, replace your bricks (in ornage, black, and gray), and (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Larry Pieniazek
		(...) I can't quite recall, but this steg may actually be bigger than the one at LIC Mall of America. (or maybe I am misremembering... they do have dinosaurs there but maybe not a steg...) Biggest or not it's the coolest. I think what I like best is (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

			Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Mike Timm
			(...) No misteak in your memory Larry :^) There is a red and gray steg in the big planter like section that has the "Do Not Sit or Climb On" signs. It's kinda in the middle of the back side of the planter away from the shop it self. The LIC steg (...) (24 years ago, 28-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Thomas Main
	Henry, Everytime I see sculptures like this...and I've never seen one this good created by a fan not affiliated with TLC...I always wonder how it was done. I know it is not really possible to teach someone else artistic vision, but I wonder if there (...) (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

		Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Henry Lim
		(...) My suggestion is to just do it. Trial and error. Also "study" the curves in the models showcased in "The Ultimate LEGO Book" (the giraffe, the elephant, and the dinosaur). -Henry (24 years ago, 7-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

	BETTER than Legoland —Travis Cobbs
	I've seen a few comparisons in this thread to some of the sculptures at Legoland, but I really think this one has them beat. First off, it's beautiful, of course, and truly spectacular. The color treatment looks just amazing. But the thing that (...) (24 years ago, 9-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

	Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —A. Mark Wilburn

		Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Henry Lim
		(...) Actually, I did build it from the feet up. The head and tail were built separately and attached when I had completed enough of the body to support them--that was the only time I had to lift sections of the sculpture. Most of the big back (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)

			Re: LEGO Stegosaurus Sculpture —Dave Johann
			(...) It's kind of funny looking at that picture and thinking of LUGOLA meeting #1 back in March of '99. It feels sooooo long ago. I'm the one under steggy for those that were curious. That was the day Henry let me (carefully) hold the head and neck (...) (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.general)
