 | | Need LOTS of trans-orange flames!
|
| Hey all, My little Burning Hell diorama has been expanded and I suddenly find myself short of trans-orange flames, something I thought would never happen (don't they seem to be EVERYWHERE?!). Anyway, I need about 50-75 more. Anyone who has some to (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.loc.us.ca.sf)

| Free is always the best! This place sounds pretty cool, provided there is enough room for all who wish to show off their MOC's and fish through Brian's buckets. I am definately in agreement for this location, if it is available. I was kinda hoping (...) (23 years ago, 1-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.us.lugola, lugnet.loc.us.ca.la)

Outdoor patio too. The owner said we just need to (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.us.lugola, lugnet.loc.us.ca.la)

| Alright, everyone I guess it is high time to start the discussions of our next meeting. Hopefully BricksWest inspired all of us to build bigger and better stuff.
