 | | Selling someone else's work on Ebay
|
| Out of curiousity, a couple times a month I search Ebay, looking for people selling LEGO creations of mine. Sadly, I often come across one or two a month. These people either claim it as their own, or make no mention that they copied the (...) (20 years ago, 22-Mar-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | Friendly reminder about use of .general
|
| Just a friendly reminder to all of you loyal users of Lugnet. While .general is sometimes seen as the main newsgroup of Lugnet, it should be noted that posts are on topic for .general only if there is not a better newsgroup for them to go in. Of (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.general)
| | | | | Re: Curious old baseplate
|
| (...) These are relatively unknown to European collectors. They were only ever produced in USA/Canda in 1970-71. I have a pair of these. I use one as a castle courtyard plate (there are no lane markings). This was the first ever plastic roadplate, (...) (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.general)

| Well since this week is spring break, and since I am not going anywhere for it, I figure I can finish, or at least get very close to finishing, this latest adventure. So here are the next four scenes: (URL) whole gallery: (URL) Steve (20 years ago, 21-Mar-05, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.general)
| | | | | 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.

| | | | | Re: U.S.S. Vignette (New Room)

| 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 (...)

| | | | | Re: No Lego Window System
|
| (...) 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)
