Evening all,
Special thanks to Ben and Mandy, and Sue Ann and Trevor, for their wonderful
hospitality and organisation that made it all go swimmingly.  And what
collections these guys have massed!

Here! Here!

The trading was rather good from a Port Block point of view.  Among other
things, a new wide brown 3 centre section hull stands on the slipway.  Get
ready! (thanks Sue Ann & Martin).

I am also well pleased with what I brought home. Flubber? Who would have
thought it could be exchanged for bricks.

Special mention also for Paul Baulch.  I think that I shall never see so
impressive a starship as the as yet unnamed MSV-X - never until Paul builds
his next anyway...

I am sure the next ship out of Port Block will be sporting some very cool
torpedo tubes. (And I am wondering how I can justify torpedos on a research
vessel...)

Thanks also to James and Richie.  Three men in a car for 10 hours down and
10 hours back can be rather unpleasant I'm told, but instead, it was fun ;-)

It certainly was fun! You neglected to mention the toy shop in Gundegai
(where the electronic cash register was still a novelty) and K Mart in
Goulburn ($48 B Wing, $28 Joust).

Cheers

Richie Dulin

Evening all, Home at last after a great long weekend south of the border. I had a great time meeting Melbourne dudes and getting a feel for just how differently Lego is done just a thousand kilometres away :-) Special thanks to Ben and Mandy, and (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
