(...) To the best of my recollection, no. Certainly not anything memorable, like a 1x16 Technic brick or a plate. It seemed to crumple very well, and the pieces sprang apart rather than stressing the frame. (19 years ago, 11-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)

Well I have been working on and off on this since 1996, so it is about time I posted some pictures.... but my Gothic Cathedral is (relatively) complete.

Hey Ryan, It is indeed a most impressive set, although as you figured out through painful trail and error, not the most transportable or even swooshable. It is gorgeous aesthetically, but structurally it' can become a nightmare. Don't keep it (...) (19 years ago, 10-Aug-05, to lugnet.general)
