Thanks for the offer, Rich.
That sounds great. I may have to work on Saturdays, but I'll let you know
something. I may be able to work out later meetings easier, esp. once U of M
lets out. Despite it's overwhelming size, I might be able to shoehorn my
(currently visible) entire LEGO collection into something convenient (or 1 big
Rubbermaid, if I owned such).
The get together in town sounds great also.
It's good to know that there is someone in town that I can exchange ideas with.
I still have a few models I made in earlier years that can be easily
re-assembled. If you deal with any of the L-CAD programs, I could always use
suggestions, such as with my large Articulated Battroid/Mecha project, or with
custom-made elements.
Get back to me soon.
