Thanks Frank for the report. I wish I could have seen your Blacktron
creations in person. The text helped alot, as I am unfamiliar with the
Space theme. I like the model w/ the smaller Invader Cockpit Module
attached to the Challenger Engine Module the best (almost approachable...).
Could a somewhat larger figure be accommodated in the cockpit? I could see
Lionel Lion being a great pilot. CosmoLion! :-)
I enjoyed looking at the rest of your site too. I would like to examine the
curved top part of the water tower and see how the cylinder and bricks work
together to give it such a nice shape.
Trains were a treat too. I like the black band at the bottom of the engine.
IMHO you should leave it as is. The black gives it definition and gives the
eye a place to stop. I appreciate the links to the sets you used in
construction. It gives me a better idea of what building involved. The
tank is inspired. I really like it when pieces are used "out of context"
and something wonderful is made. The undershot almost makes it
comprehensible, even to a newbie like me.
As for the sets displayed in your home and the boxes. I am pretty close to
speechless. Probably not that much Lego in all the stores here added all
together... Thanks for the tour.
Cary and James, I wish I could have seen your creations. They sound
wonderful. Any pictures available? Links? Websites?
Any other NC people with websites to share? If so, please do. It is one of
the next best thing to getting together.
I only have a couple of overexposed pictures at

Not much, but we all start somewhere.
