 | | Star Wars Vignette
|
|
I don't recall having seen any Star Wars vignettes (well other than the storyteller sets), so I thought I'd try doing some of my own. Maybe I'm the first, I'm pretty sure I'm the first StarWars Vignette at lugnet.build.vignette. So anyhow, here's (...)

(...) Cool ASCII art there. The roadplate is a Samsonite plate from the 1970's. Fairly rare to find today. It's listed as set 078 on Lugnet: (URL) a few pictures on Brickshelf: (URL) one I've seen had very unusual rounded top studs, instead of the (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.general)

| | Curious old baseplate
|
|
Hi, I have a baseplate that I can't find on Lugnet or Peeron. It's 50x50, less than plate thickness (whatever the term for that is), green, and has smooth grey roads 14 studs wide. The roads enter on three of the sides, curve a bit, and meet close (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.general)

| | New Duplo© Sets
|
|
When I was in Europe lately I had a chance to look at the new Duplo© sets. They are nice sets for town, farm and train. Since my baggage capacity was limited I did not buy any. I wanted to buy them being back in the states. In the local TrU no luck (...) (20 years ago, 20-Mar-05, to lugnet.duplo, lugnet.general) !

(...) Those were all very good, especially the beach one. The Southern California wave rider in me came out when I saw it. Question- Did you intentionally make it look like the surfer is going to go over the falls? A nice accent if you did. Adr.

Very nice! The sun bathing one is my favorite! In fact, I had nearly the very same idea for a Joe Vig vignette! I think the wave might look better if it had some transparent blue and white pieces in it, but the shape itself looks good. The Floor Is (...)

(...) The largest single pane window that I am aware of was the 1x6x5, which had a very limited production in only 4 colors - blue, yellow, brown and gray. Since it was used in the 80's and 90's, the mold is probably retired today. Gary Istok (20 years ago, 18-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)
