Hi All,
I met Murray last week as it happens. He lives in Noranda and has a
very
impressive LEGO room! Shelves full of assembled models, buckets and
drawers
full of sorted pieces, drool...
Anyway, I bought the Technic trike from a few years ago and the classic
Technic
red tractor from around 1980, a set I've always wanted to get my hands
on, for a
very nice price indeed.
He's got an ad in the latest Quokka (trading post for all kinds of crap)
under
toys - the 1st Noranda number is his. (I don't have it here so I can't
quote the
number)
I've been rather busy, with regards to LEGO at least, for the past
couple of
weeks. I sussed out ledit/ldraw and made up my latest creation - a
batmobile-ish car with working V8 motor, steering, chrome exhaust, black
and red
colour scheme, very stylish ride indeed. I've rendered a few images of
it using
Pov-Ray which represent it well. As I don't have the means to display
them for
all to see, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in putting
them up on
their web page? Maybe we could set up a page for Aussie creations
only? Just a
thought, but an interesting one.
I'm almost through the great build of '98, assembling all of the sets I
have,
seeing what's missing/broken/leftover. All that's left to build is the
pneumatic crane
truck (8868), Black cat rig, a universal set and the Century Skyway
airport.
Always leave the best till last!
See-ya,
Braith.
