Micro-scale? Nano-scale? Minifig-scale? How 'bout FineScale? Also, Make magazine.

The May 2005 issue of FineScale Modeler features a
utilitarian use for Lego bricks. There is an article about using polyester
resin for casting your own model parts (to replace broken parts or make
duplicates of repeated elements). The parts are cast into a mold made of
room-temperature-vulcanizing (RTV) silicone rubber, and the author of the
article, Matthew Usher, uses Lego bricks to build the box to hold the rubber as
it’s poured. The pics of the rubber mold after the bricks are pulled off
demonstrate quite well that a Lego wall is NOT waterproof!
Unfortunately, he uses the term “Legos” throughout the article. :( At least
he didn’t suggest a clone brand of brick.
I also noticed a short blurb about a Lego Rubik’s Cube solver in
Make magazine’s premiere issue. I can’t recall the
creator, but I have seen it at Lugnet before.
