http://shop.lego.com/ProductInfo.asp?product_number=3451 Nice. But why a Swopwith Camel? Not complaining, but just wondered why out of all the things they could have done someone decided to make a sculpture of this. Someone came into work one day and said, "I know, I will make a Swopwith Camel". Hardly top of the list of 'things to make from Lego' is it? Makes you wonder whatever next. If you were a Lego model builder, what would you make? regards lawrence

		Re: If you were a Lego Model Builder, what would you make?
(...) Hmm. Because they had never done anything remotely like it before? Because they needed a new set, and someone had built a really cool Sopwith, so they went with that? Because they needed a good excuse to sell us some brown plates? (...) Why (...) (24 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.general)
