Steve,

There are 4 blueprints altogether, you are missing #4 "Astronaut and cosmic
ray regenerator". There was in fact a 5th that was in the middle of the UK
booklet "Anna Miranda and Mark build a house"* for 2 further models from
that story.

They are all from 1965. 1-4 cost 1d each; the story book was a shilling.

As Jono noted, it will probably be best if Huw can resurrect his blueprints
site, because I already sent him his missing ones, so the full set is there.

HTH,

Phil in Yorkshire.

*An interesting side-note to the mention of this booklet is that it contains
the first reference to the character called O'gel. In those days he was
wise, but now (Alpha-Team) he is evil.

there is no date on them I reckon that they date back to about 1960 +/- a
couple of years.

Also, re the recent discussion about the Weetabix sets, I have put up a
boxshot and instruction scans from the house set in case anyone wants to
have a look.  Use the link above and select "rare sets" from the menu on the
left.

If you've any spare time left, have a close look at the studs on your 45deg
inverted slope bricks :)

Cheers

Very interesting indeed....where can one find this type of info (other than being there at the time)? An interesting feature of the London Bus blueprints was a reference to "New Lego Slimbricks" (plates I presume). In the Ultimate Lego Book time (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
